“Bending over me solicitously was a porcelain-headed, laughing policeman; wide-mouthed with mirth, he leaned closer, tilting his head in a parody of concern. Eyeless he watched me, tongueless he chanted, I knew the chant and my mind couldn’t help but chant with him, ‘Oh, I wish, I wish, I wish I knew exactly what to do with you.’” Telepathy, along with sundry other odd abilities, have landed Stella more than once, in situations at best controversial, at worst life-threatening. But she’s always known; you have to fight your own corner as best you can, no point beating yourself up about it. Now, though, times have changed, and different priorities.

For Sandra, daughter of illusionists Adam and Ophelia, life’s never been run of the mill! But when Adam’s wandering eye lights on yet another conquest, Sandra’s caught in the reverberations of her parents' acrimonious parting. Coerced into restoring her depressed Mother to the bosom of a family Sandra never knew existed, she’s sucked into a situation that, even for her, is a little unnerving.

Even Stranger. A Psychic Suspense Thriller (Strange Series Book 2) - The Strange Series 2

Genres: Fantasy/SciFi/Speculative, Thriller, Womens Fiction
Formats: E-Book, Paperback

I was five when I found I could fly, sixteen when I killed a man. Both events were unsettling in their own way and, together with various other close calls, taught me I was not, nor did I want to be, hero material. Telepathy and my other odd abilities needed to be kept under wraps. In the future, normal was going to be the name of the game. The fact that normal didn’t work that smoothly was probably due to an overdeveloped conscience, an inability to keep my nose out of other people’s business and because several people wanted me dead. Why is it just when you think you’ve got all your ducks in a row, something or someone always turns up to blast them right out of the water? "If you enjoy Stephen King and Dean Koontz you'll love this."
