Life is already bad
enough after Tisha Adams loses both her job and her beautiful Manhattan apartment. Living in a musty garage apartment
and working for her uncle in Queens, her life
is upended when she witnesses a murder on her train commute.
When the body
disappears, she teams up with Detective Murphy, a man with mysterious
abilities. But Tisha is keeping a secret of her own, a skill she’s always hated
and feared. The dead speak to her. And if she touches a person, their past,
present and future are revealed to her.
But as the body
count rises, and those closest to Tisha are drawn into the nightmare, Tisha’s
only choice is to reach out to her estranged grandmother to learn more about
her intuitive talents. In a race against the clock to rescue those in danger
and solve the murders, she’ll need all her abilities. Even the gift she’s been
afraid to use. The dead will speak, but only if she’s willing to listen.

Book Excerpt #2:
My life blows. The pair moved
toward the upper level stairs then changed their direction and sat down a few
rows behind me, further thrusting the knife that jabbed at my heart. Nothing
seemed to be working in my life. It figured the amazing Sven was taken. I went back
to my voyeurism since I was phoneless. Funny how I could text and read twitter,
but if I tried to read a book I started retching. The sun was beginning to peak
out and the darkness was lifting revealing the gray of this April morning. The
train clanged past Mineola Station, rocking back and forth as if it were about
to derail. I couldn’t get used to the motion or the sound of passing trains
rumbling by and the awful noise that erupted between the two. Only ten more
stops to go. I watched as the landscape changed from suburban trees and
well-spaced homes to urban attached homes lacking landscaping that signaled the
move from Nassau County into Queens.
As we meandered the long monotonous trudge through empty backyards and later debris strewn industrial lots, I spied two men standing in the street between the warehouses. They looked similar, decked out in their black leather coats and dark denim jeans. Both were large men, perhaps bodybuilders or maybe wise guys. One striking difference between the two was their hair. Both had long dark hair but one wore his in a neat ponytail while the other’s was wild and splaying out in all directions. They were arguing. Hands were flying in the air. Fingers were pointed at each other. The one with the wild hair drew out what looked like a gun from beneath his coat. Time slowed. A shot was fired. Was I dreaming? This couldn’t be real. Was someone filming a movie? My heart was racing. Thoughts scattered. I needed to act. I saw the smoke from the gun. The man with the long ponytail fell back. Blood was oozing from his chest. This was no movie. That man needed help. My help. I had to act. Time to fall apart was later. The train moved on. My view dissolved.
About the Author:
From a cruncher of numbers to a stringer of words, she decided it was
time to follow her dreams and put down on paper all of those stories that
floated around in her head. Raised in New York City and Long Island, she is a consummate
shopaholic having been given the gift of style from her mother and grandmother.
When not writing, she can be found shopping, visiting museums, gardening, or
being walked by her oversized puppy.
Her books are a genre mix all neatly packaged together. Surprise and
twists keep her readers guessing and she has been accused of writing books that
can’t be put down. Pushing characters to challenges themselves is her trademark
as is a creating strong female characters – no damsels in distress here. Her
inspiration comes from seeing a situation and then enhancing it to create an
unusual story line. And yes, she does see ghosts, or spirits as they prefer to
be called and has had her run ins with a fairy or two.
If
you have a book club and live on Long Island or in the Southern Vermont area, she’d be happy
to come for a visit.
Her
latest book is the thriller/paranormal/suspense, BlindSight.
