Maybe psychic ability can be inherited

I'm truly curious about how many authors can claim psychic abilities. I woke this morning wondering if I have to admit I have some psychic talent.

It's like rattling my closet skeletons. I'm so nervous. People will think I'm weird. I'll be pointed at on the street and have to move or change my name. Boy, am I going off on a

tangent.

Writers are the most accepting people in the world. We understand what makes people different and value all the quirks. It all adds to the characters and plot we create.

I use psychic abilities to round out my characters, but it's usually a secondary part of their personality. Annie knows her child is threatened. Rachel senses her twin's feelings. That's

recorded and researched ability. Lily sees auras, but not on everyone or even

when it will reveal the villain.

I don't share those talents, but I do know how it feels to have that unexplainable episode occur. I am puzzled, even confused. For a minute I question why the people around me didn't see or hear that 'other'. I always have a lag time. My reality has to accept the unreality as real.

Confusing? Oh yes. I think my mother had a talent, too, but she died young and I didn't know enough to ask. She always explained to me that it was all right. I remember once waking from a vivid dream of a recently deceased person who grabbed my arm. I had a finger pattern of bruises on my bicep. Mom said I was the only one she could reach and

to pray for her soul. Scary now that I look back.

I have vivid dreams that sometimes do come true. I also dream my story before I start

writing. Along with a few other things I didn't mention. Let me know what you think. Do you use psychic abilities is your stories? Do you have one?

Ancient Blood by Barbara Edwards Paranormal romance

Lily Alban escapes a murderous stalker, but his vicious attack

leaves her with the ability to see auras. She finds safety in the tiny hamlet

of Rhodes End where a stranger stands out like a red light. Try as she might to

deny her growing desire for Cole, she seeks his help but soon discovers the man

she loves is not a man at all.

Werewolf Cole Benedict resists his attraction to Lily. A botanist

researching the healing herbs to find a cure for Lycanthropy, he's determined

to protect Lily from her stalker as well as himself even in human form, but

instinct takes over when he changes to his inner beast.

Together they must use their extraordinary gifts to catch Lily's

stalker before he attacks again, but revealing their secrets to one another

could destroy their growing love or save them both.

"What

makes you so important? Or is this another secret?"

Cole's eyes darkened. "Lily. I'm pushing the

line with you. Give me some slack."

"I want answers, Cole." She grabbed his arm

as he turned and pulled him to a halt.

He gently, carefully drew her fierce grip

into his grasp. His golden eyes heated as he lifted her hand to his lips. "I

already told you, Lily. You'd have to mate with me to learn all my secrets."

Urgent need raced from his lips to her

center. His scorching gaze melted her from the inside out. All her being longed

to step into his arms, to become one in a way she'd never known. She trembled

as she recognized the danger.
