2009 Finalist – Colorado Romance Writers Award of Excellence 

Megan Cassidy, a world-renowned psychic seer, must fight a serial killer to save her six-year-old son Robbie. But she can’t do it alone. She needs help from the best tracker and Ranger in West Virginia, her ex-fiancé, Brody Phelps.

In a psychic vision, Megan sees her own death during a battle with the murderer that the police have dubbed The Mountain Mangler. She soon discovers that the Mangler is also psychic and looking for a challenge that the first six victims couldn’t meet.

While Brody and Megan search the mountains for the Mangler and Robbie, Megan is drawn to Talgor Ridge where they are told an unbelievable story from a Talgorian Elder. When they discover their destinies are intertwined with the immortal Talgorians, Brody and Megan must each follow their hearts to fulfill the first Talgorian Prophecy. Acceptance is the only way to save Robbie, and the Talgorians, from total destruction.

Status

Over the past year I haven’t been around as much as I would like and the blog part of my site hasn’t been updated often. Now that things have settled down some, I’m back to writing and doing psychic readings. Since last March I lost my grandmother and I was very close to her so that hit me hard. Eleven days later, my mare had to be put down. She delivered a foal in March, the foal died the next morning and the morning after that my mare foundered. I nursed her for three months trying to save her life. We did everything humanly possible for her but in the end her hooves started separating from her legs and she was in excruciating pain. I was devastated. With these two losses so close together, I was an emotional mess. On top of that I had medical issues myself and it’s taken this long for me to heal and get focused on my career again. Many of the visitors to my sites have emailed me and I want to thank you for your support during this time. It’s meant the world to me. Now that I’m back, I’ve redesigned my psychic site and am working on a nonfiction title. I look forward to communicating with you all more often now.
