ARE YOU PSYCHIC?
by Minnette Meador
Reggie shrugged and rubbed his nose with a long forefinger. “The succubus is drawn to powerful men…psychics.”
“That’s horseshit, Reggie. I’m no psychic.”
Reggie nailed him with a stony gaze and chuckled under his ghostly breath. “Let’s see… you see dead people. Not only do you see them, but you talk to them as well. As a matter of fact, some of your best friends are dead. Sounds rather psychic to me. But what do I know?”
Keenan licked his lips. “Oh.”
A Ghost of a Chance, Chapter Three, Imbibbing Spirits
When I was a teenager, it was the 70’s when ESP, clairvoyance, and telekinetics made a big splash in the US. I had a teacher who was really into psychic abilities, and he asked some of us to participate in an experiment with a friend of his. His friend happened to be a very well-known professor of psychology at Portland State University. There were about ten of us who volunteered to do the gauntlet of ESP or Psy tests at the university. Two of us had very high readings and moved on to another set of tests. I had the highest ESP readings in the group. Now, honestly, I think a lot of it had more to do with my ability to read micro facial expressions and something else I’ve had all my life: I’m a witch.
No, not that kind of witch. I’m what some call a Dowser or Water Witch. For some reason, my neurons are arranged in some very strange configurations and my body acts like a kind of conduit for energy, whether it’s electricity, moving water, or even emotions. I can find water, metal, electricity, and sometimes even nothing. It’s not exactly rocket science and, to tell the truth, I still don’t know precisely how it works. I just know it does.
Because of it, I have a gift for reading people, not only by their faces but also by the energy they are emanating. Weird, huh? I’m very good at reading emotions, especially very strong ones, only because they create a stronger emotional “current.” This makes it very hard to be in crowded places, like malls, movie theaters, etc.; crowds give me a splitting headache. However, I’ve learned to control it over the years. Now, for those of you who think this is magic, it’s very scientific; it’s just that I can feel magnetic fields that others can’t. You should have seen me the first time they put me in an MRI; I scared the tech out of his wits when I could tell him exactly where the scanner was on my body. I wasn’t supposed to feel anything.
In my book, A Ghost of a Chance, my wonderfully funny protagonist, Keenan, has abilities himself. He can see ghosts… and not just one or two; he sees them all. He puts out streetlamps as he walks by them when he’s angry or upset (which my husband swears I do all the time – he actually watches for it). On top of this, he has an uncanny ability to save the world, even though he doesn’t know it... or want it!
So, what about you? Are you psychic? Do you know someone who is? Are you the kid with all the gnarly powers? Tells us about it. You’d be surprised how many of us have them… or how many of us deny them. Share your experience... I LOVE a good psychic story! M;o)

NEWS...NEWS...
NEWS...NEWS...OK, so lots of news today... To my utter delight, I now have a wonderful editor who worked with me on Centurion many years ago and now will be helping me with my new books. I won't release her name only because I'd like to protect her privacy, but she is an amazing writer, editor, and all-around gracious lady. I'm over the moon! Because of that, I'm taking Nogero and Phantom Hearts down from Kindle Vella, though the current chapters will be available for the next 60 days, so take a look for a preview. In addition, I've decided to release a novel every month starting in October, which should work well for me. Here is the first coming out on October 12th; it is a Special Edition of A Ghost of a Chance, so the old book has been taken down and you'll hear more about the new release as we get closer. Those of you who have read it, you may be in for a few surprises with the revised edition. Anyway, thanks to my lovely editor and to my many many author friends out there for all your advice and help (and patience) over the last several weeks. I love you all! M;o)
