DEATH AT FIRST SIGHT,
which released on November 1st, is the first book in the Bay Island Psychic
Mysteries series. At present, there are three books written in the
series. I’ve written many blog posts and answered many interview questions about
the first book in the series, but I haven’t discussed the later books. That
being the case, I thought it might be fun to take a peek into the future and see
where the series is headed.
Cass Donovan should have dusted off her crystal ball and taken a peek before
leaving her psychiatric practice in New York to open a psychic shop on Bay
Island. Maybe then she’d have seen trouble coming her way and nipped it in the
bud before it got out of hand. As it is, she foresees the problem a little too
late to intervene and ends up the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Now,
she has to prove her innocence if she wants to have any hope of making a life on
Bay Island.
DEATH AT FIRST SIGHT
raises the question of whether or not ghosts exist, and it’s often a
debate—argument, whatever—between Cass and her two best friends. Stephanie is a
firm believer in something beyond the normal. Bee, on the other hand, doesn’t
believe in anything otherworldly, or so he claims. For someone who insists
there’s no such thing as ghosts, he goes out of his way to steer clear of
anything to do with them. And Cass, well, Cass doesn’t know what she thinks.
Years of psychiatric training give Cass Donavan a unique glimpse into the minds
of her customers. The fact that she is very good at interpreting the subtle
tells people give away all the time without realizing it, only enhances her
ability to give fairly accurate “readings” and convince most of her customers
she is psychic. Of course, Cass doesn’t consider herself psychic. At least, not
at the beginning of the series.
In OCCULT AND BATTERY,
the second book in the Bay Island Psychic
Mysteries series Cass has to find a way to generate income for the
winter months. Bay Island is a tourist town, and few tourists want to brave the
elements to visit a beach town in the dead of winter. But the psychic weekend
she decides to host in a haunted house, complete with séance, backfires when a
real ghost—or maybe mass hysteria—and a real body turn up. When a blizzard blows
in and traps Cass and her guests overnight with a killer, even Cass can’t
predict what will happen.
The third book in the Bay Island Psychic
Mysteries series is not yet titled, but it delves a little more into
the paranormal. Either that, or Cass has gone completely crazy, because a woman
has started appearing in her dreams. That in itself might not be so unusual, if
Cass didn’t stumble upon a portrait of the woman in the new art gallery window.
And if a woman didn’t turn up missing.
So, what do you think? Do ghosts exist? Is there really a world beyond our own,
and can some people communicate with the spirits that dwell in that world? Leave
me a comment and let me know!
Bay Island
Psychic Mystery #1
FIRST IN A VISIONARY NEW MYSTERY SERIES.
It
doesn’t take a crystal ball to see that something’s not right on Bay
Island...
Since she left her psychiatric practice in
New York City to open up a psychic shop in her hometown on Bay Island, Cass
Donovan has given her fair share of readings to conflicted customers. But what
she sees in Ellie Callahan’s future doesn’t bode well.
When
Ellie’s mother, Marge, publicly confronts Cass about the reading, the
embarrassment makes her want to curl up and die. And when she later stumbles
across Marge’s body—and is a suspect in her murder—Cass is suddenly the star of
Bay Island’s rumor mill.
Cass is determined to prove her
innocence and save Ellie from meeting the fate in her unfortunate vision. But
even with the help of her friends Bee and Stephanie, Cass will have to channel
some serious sleuthing instincts to find the real killer...

Paperback / e-Book, ISBN: 9780425282748 / eISBN: 9780698406452]
Lena lives in a small town on the south shore of eastern Long Island with her
husband and three children.
When she was growing up, she spent many lazy
afternoons on the beach, in the yard, anywhere she could find to curl up with a
good book. She loves reading as much now as she did then, but she now enjoys the
added pleasure of creating her own stories.
