\"Secrets<\/a><\/p>\n

An unsolved murder and the disappearance of her love decades ago
\nare back to haunt Magpie MacKenzie. <\/span><\/p>\n

Solve the murder or become the next victim\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you ever walked into a room and felt you\u2019ve been there before? Or have you met someone and instantly thought you\u2019ve always known them? Have you made plans, but you hesitate to see them through, and you don\u2019t know why you have such an ominous feeling?<\/p>\n

I can say yes to all of these. Maybe because I\u2019m a child of the sixties, a wannabe hippie, my mystical beliefs are strong. Auras, d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, intuition, crystals, empathic visions, and the universe all speak to me. I\u2019m not gifted, I believe whole heartedly.<\/p>\n

A couple of decades ago, we were gathered in a room with other parents and a group of Austrian boys who had come to our town to play hockey. We were going to house one of the young men in our home. I glanced at the group and immediately locked gazes with the blue eyes of Harte, and I experienced a moment of feeling like I\u2019d known him forever. When they drew names, Harte was chosen for us. Coincidence? I think not. We\u2019ve been fast friends from afar ever since. And I\u2019m convinced we knew each other in another time and will again.<\/p>\n

In my latest novel (released on 9\/15\/2020), Secrets of The Ravine<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, book one of The MacKenzie Chronicles, my characters use a little bit of the mystical to solve a decades old murder and prevent their own demise. The series is set in present-day Joshua, Arizona, an 1800s mining town, turned ghost town, turned hippie haven, and now a tourist town, hanging on the side of Spirit Mountain.<\/p>\n

The mystery and suspense unfold in present-day Joshua, using three points of view. Within this present-day story is a tale that chronicles the life of Magpie\u2019s father, Frank. Clues to the present are found in Frank\u2019s past from the time he settled in the hippie haven, The Ravine, on the outskirts of Joshua, to the present when he is likely to be charged with murder.<\/p>\n

Have you ever experienced d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu or an empathic moment? Intuition? I\u2019d love to hear.<\/p>\n

Blurb:
\n<\/strong>When a ringer for her long-dead love walks into her life the same day skeletal remains are found at the edge of town, Magpie MacKenzie can\u2019t ignore what the universe is telling her\u2026solve the mystery, or become the next victim.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Zack Peartree\u2019s life is orderly and entanglement-free until he visits purportedly haunted Joshua, Arizona, and meets free-wheeling shopkeeper Magpie. Despite experiencing troubling visions and odd moments of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu, Zack\u2019s instantly drawn to Magpie and to the unsolved murder which troubles her so.<\/p>\n

Using clues from her father\u2019s past and Zack\u2019s d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu moments, Magpie and Zack race to solve the mystery, avoid a murderous fate, and to discover their future\u2026together.<\/p>\n
