Lorelei Orion Hi, Ann. Thanks for the friendship!


message 3: by Ann

Ann Gimpel The Psyche's Search giveaway ended at midnight. Many thanks to the 715 people who signed up. And to everyone who added it to their shelves here on GR. Winner's copies will go out in tomorrow's mail. One to Texas and the other the Illinois. Texas seems to be a theme here. One of the Psyche's Prophecy winners lived there, too. It's a really, really big state!


message 2: by Ann

Ann Gimpel Thanks to the 815 people who signed up to win a copy of Psyche's Prophecy. I was totally overwhelmed by the response. Didn't expect it. The two winner's copies went out in yesterday's mail. One right here in California and the other in Texas.
I'll be doing a giveaway for Psyche's Search very soon.


AuthorIsland Hey Ann!! Congrats on the new book PSYCHE'S SEARCH, book two in your Transformation Series.

PSYCHE'S SEARCH by Ann Gimpel

Transformation Series Book Two

Born with the sight, Laura McInnis is ambivalent about her paranormal ability. Oh it's useful enough some of the time with her psychotherapy patients. But mostly it's an embarrassment and an inconvenience - especially when her visions drag her to other worlds. Or into Goblin dens. In spite of escalating violence, incipient food shortages and frequent power blackouts, Lara is still far too attached to the comfortable life she shares with her boyfriend, Trevor, a flight attendant who lost his job when aviation fuel got so expensive - and so scarce - his airline went out of business. Forced to seek assistance to hone her unusual abilities in Psyche's Prophecy, Book I of this series, Lara is still quite the neophyte in terms of either summoning or bending her magic to do much of anything.

Reluctantly roped into channeling her unpredictable psychic talents to help a detective who saved her from a psychopathic killer, Lara soon finds herself stranded in the murky underbelly of a world inhabited by demons. The Sidhe offer hope, but they are so high-handed Lara stubbornly resists their suggestions. Riots, death on all sides, a mysterious accident and one particular demon targeting her, push Lara to make some hard decisions. When all seems lost, the Dreaming, nestled in the heart of Celtic magic, calls out to her. Heeding its summons brings sorrow, while opening the gates to a new life.
