You'd think being clairvoyant would give Abby Cooper the ability to avoid danger.
But being psychic doesn't necessarily allow you to sidestep murder and mayhemit just lets you know that it's coming...
In the Royal Oak suburb of Detroit, thirtysomething Abby Cooper lives a life that's kind of like vanilla ice creamgood enough, but a little bland. Her work as a P.Ipsychic intuitivecan be rewarding, but she feels like somehow she's missing out on the hot fudge topping...
Now she's getting what she wished foras one of her clients turns up dead and the clues start pointing in Abby's direction. She just knows too many details about the murder for her own good. To make matters worse, the hot blind date she just met turns out to be the lead investigator on the case. And gorgeous Detective Dutch Rivers is convinced she's a fraud.
No matter how great her psychic abilities are, Abby isn't completely sure she can solve this case. Unfortunately for her, though, the killer's pretty convinced...
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. :)
