Description:
What’s
a girl to do? Katherine Shipton has a painting that talks, an
ancestor who won’t stay in her own century, and a former boyfriend
with a serious ax to grind against her new fiancé. She already has a
full plate, but when said ancestor sends her tripping back and forth
between the 15th and 21st century without benefit of psychedelic
drugs, the poor girl begins to doubt her own sanity.
Then
her best friend, a high fashion model with more than her own share of
psychic energy, and her troubleshooting aunt show up on her doorstep
in response to a psychic SOS Katherine swears she didn’t send. Life
couldn't get more complicated.
At
least, that's what she thinks until her oilman fiancé disappears in
the Gulf of Mexico and a DEA agent knocks on her door.
Excerpt
“No
wonder I woke up in the middle of the night. Talking portraits, trips
to the Sixteenth Century, Quentin Slimeball Ashland calling out of
the blue. Any one of them by themselves is cause for a trip to Tampa.
Though Quentin’s the one that really gives me the heebie-jeebies.
You know I never liked him. Give me a refill, sugar.” Sylvia held
out her tea glass. “I can’t seem to get enough to drink lately.”
“I
thought this story would have you calling the men in the white
coats.” Katherine got up and took Sylvia’s glass. “And all it’s
making you call for is more tea. Be right back.” She headed for the
kitchen. Sylvia got up and followed her.
“Now
tell me again exactly what
it is this Mother Shipton ancestor of yours wants you to actually
do?”
“Hell
if I know. She never got that far. That little side-trip seemed to be
more a tease than anything. A promise of things to come. A threat of
what won’t
come if I don’t help.”
“And
those prophecies of hers you’ve told me about before, they’ve
been right on the money on a lot
of things, as I recall.”
“Prophecies
in general always use phrasing that can be interpreted to mean pretty
much anything you want it to, Sylvia. Don’t go reading a lot into
that.”
“Well,
I don’t think it’s doing us any good sitting here trying to
figure out what she wants. Shortest distance between any two points
is a straight line. Let’s go ask her.”
About
the Authors
Jude
Pittman
emigrated from Canada to the United States with her mom and brother
when she was 14. Her time there included 12 years in Texas where the
genus
for her first murder mystery, “Shadows Are Deadly” now part of
Jude’s “Murder on My Mind” trilogy first took root. In 1992
Jude returned to British Columbia where she met her husband John. The
couple moved to Calgary, Alberta where they continue to live.
Descended from the Shipton line, Jude has always been fascinated with
the historical and legendary stories about her late and often
maligned ancestor, Mother Shipton and her gifts of prophecy. The
Sisters of Prophecy series is a fictional account of those Shipton
sons and daughters who inherited Mother Shipton’s gifts.
Gail
Roughton
is a native of small town Georgia whose Deep South heritage features
prominently in much of her work. She’s worked in a law office for
close to forty years, during which time she’s raised three children
and quite a few attorneys. She’s kept herself more or less sane by
writing novels and tossing the completed manuscripts into her closet.
A cross-genre writer, she’s produced works ranging from humor to
romance to thriller to horror, sometimes in the same book. She’s
never quite sure herself what to expect when she sits down at the
keyboard. Now multi-published by Books We Love, Ltd., her credits
include the War-N-Wit, Inc. series, The Color of Seven, Vanished, and
Country Justice. Currently, she’s working on Black Turkey Walk, the
second in the Country Justice series, as well as the Sisters of
Prophecy series, co-written with Jude Pittman.
