No one in Cheyenne, North Dakota believes in Lottie Baldwin’s psychic abilities; especially not Harlan Erikson, Lottie’s boyfriend and Chief Deputy in the Sheriff’s Office.
When a friend’s husband disappears, Lottie can’t leave it to Harlan to discover what happened to Harry.
Armed with her courage and her tarot cards, Lottie tries to solve the mystery herself, regardless of who attempts to stop her: Harlan, her friend—or the criminal.
Targeted Age Group:
Adult
How is Writing In Your Genre Different from Others?
Mysteries begin with a crime. The bulk of the book consists of the hero or heroine trying to solve the mystery despite red herrings, danger, and other obstructions. The clues to the mystery have to be there, but not so obvious that the reader figures out the mystery too easily.
What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
Read widely in your genre. Write a lot. Work with a critique partner or group to get objective criticism. Make sure your grammar skills are sharp. Never give up!

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I saw a psychic interviewed on TV who helped the police find missing children. I wondered what would happen if a psychic were genuine, but no one believed her. That combined with my interest in tarot gave birth to my heroine Lottie Baldwin.
