A Psychic Mystery
BY VICTORIA LAURIE
ABOUT THE BOOK:
In New York Times bestselling author Victoria
Laurie’s newest Psychic Eye Mystery, Abby Cooper
senses a convicted killer is innocent, but she’ll need
hard evidence to save the woman before it’s too
late…
A ticked-off judge has tossed Abby in the slammer for contempt of court, and during her brief but unpleasant stay she learns the story of a condemned woman who is facing a far more serious sentence. Skylar Miller has been found guilty of murder and faces the death penalty. Everyone believes she’s guilty, including her own family and her ex-husband—everyone, that is, except Abby, whose finely honed intuition tells her this woman doesn’t belong behind bars.
With the help of her husband Dutch and her friend Candice, Abby launches into her own investigation to clear Skylar and find the real killer. But after a final appeal is denied and Skylar’s attorney scrambles for a stay of execution, time is running short—and the list of suspects keeps growing. There’s no margin for error as the life of an innocent woman hangs in the balance…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I
began writing my first Abby Cooper novel in the winter of 2003. As a
professional psychic of many years, I really wanted to portray an
intuitive as a normal person ... because we really are normal after
all...we’re just a bit more “sensitive” than most.
Truth be told, even after Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye was published, I had no thoughts of becoming a full time professional writer too. Back then I firmly believed that I’d write two or three books in the Psychic Eye series, and move on to some other hobby.
It wasn’t until I was finishing my third book, that I could truly appreciate how much joy I had in telling a story. For me, there is almost nothing more satisfying than writing those final twenty pages of a novel after taking all my characters on something of a roller coaster ride. And I live for those moments when, creatively, it feels like I actually got it right.
I suppose I’d better love what I do, because now there’re three separate books for each of my three series to turn out every year. It is work, but it’s fabulous work if you can get it.
I no longer do psychic readings professionally, but I will admit, being psychic is super cool. :)

I would love to find out how she does this. I'm guessing (hoping) she does by the end of the book.
