Description of New Novel

Description of my next novel:

In Devil’s Elbow, Missouri, nothing is what it seems. Aliens, cryptids, and more lurk at the eerie heart of a story about one girl and her amazing psychic abilities.
Lisa Fisher has been having powerful psychic visions ever since she was young. In these visions, a friendly group called the Watchers assures her that she is special. Who are these Watchers, and how are they connected to a spate of disappearances of young women around Devil’s Elbow?
For decades, women have gone missing. Their skeletal remains turn up years later and the autopsies all show the same thing—the women died of old age. Could this be the work of the Watchers? Lisa and her family intend to find out.
Then a string of Sasquatch sightings cause journalists, investigators, monster hunters, and more to descend on the town. Lisa believes that they are all on the wrong track, but who is going to listen to a young girl? She will have to find her strength, her inner power, and her voice if she wants to get to the truth about the Watchers and their plans for the people of Devil’s Elbow.

I am glad to have the series finished and look forward to the publication of the last book.
