The nation is on the brink of disaster...
One woman can stop it - if she lives.
At the center of a small-town unsolved disappearance lies a terrible secret with consequences that will shake the halls of power in Washington
When Elizabeth Grant returns to rural Mississippi as a family favor, the nightmares about her missing childhood friend Loralie return. This time, her reluctance to accept what her instincts have told her for years--that she has some kind of psychic ability, and Loralie is dead are combined with dire warnings and indications of foul play.
But Elizabeth's quest for answers uncovers greater evil at work that reaches to the highest levels of the government.

Bio
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I hold a BSBA degree with a management emphasis. I am a Colorado gal born and raised. I love the low bug population, but I have never gotten used the winter temperatures. I guess it is a fair trade, though. I have worked in Fortune 500 companies or Department of Defense contracting my entire adult life, but it is time to do what I have wanted all along.
I graduated from college with a degree in business administration. My most eventful job was apartment management for 352 units. I still live in Colorado with two brother black cats as my spirited companions. I volunteer for a cat shelter, enjoy scrapbooking and card making, photography, and painting in watercolor and acrylic. I inherited a love for reading from her mother and grandmother and grew up talking about books at the dinner table.
Before you ask, I have wanted to write since I was a teen. My first attempt was a rather syrupy "Old Yeller" tale involving an injured fawn and the young girl who nurses it back to health. I believe I was in High School at the time and had no proper creative writing training to guide me. I have come a long way baby since then.
