Dream Job?
RJ Banks, 20, is psychic. Her gifts are her dreams, which are riddled with cryptic hints about the location of the world’s most wanted criminals. This isn’t an accident. RJ, who believes that dreams are just our brains working through recent half-thoughts, images, and impressions, deliberately immerses herself in details about these real-life villains in hopes her psychic brain will give her answers the World Security League needs. Her methods actually get results, the reason she was able to help WSL agents find a dangerous cult leader on the run. Now she is trying to find a high-profile politician from Georgia who is also a murderer. The work is challenging, but she loves it…until she dreams about herself and terrorists on a plane that crashes. Although tempted to blow it off, she fears it has something to do with tickets she just bought so she can fly to Florida for her parents’ anniversary. Nate, her supervisor suggests driving might be smarter. He also recommends that she hire a bodyguard to go with her and even gives her a Wyck Hardy. Wyck isn’t a full-time professional, but does have experience in personal protection. There’s just one problem, though. He thinks psychics are psycho.

About the author
Linda Palmer
63 books56 followersLinda Palmer admits it all started when she fell in love with Roy Rogers in the fifties. The family TV was boxy; the picture was black and white. That didn’t matter. Roy’s cowboy courage won the day and inspired her to create elaborate scenarios when playing with her sisters and friends outside. Indoors, she read romances in every genre from Sci Fi to Gothic.
Linda began writing for pleasure in the third grade, mostly poetry, and has letters from her grade school teachers predicting she'd be an author. Her poems eventually became short stories; her short stories became books. And even though a writing career was never actually a dream, it was something she pursued with intent after winning some writing contests and joining local and national writers’ groups.
Silhouette Books published Linda's first romance novel in l989 and the next twenty over a ten-year period (writing as Linda Varner, her maiden name). In 1999 she took a ten-year break to take care of her family, but learned that she couldn't not write. She began again in 2009, changing her genre to young adult/new adult paranormal romance. She has now written over a hundred novels and novellas ranging from traditional romance to erotica. Linda was a Romance Writers of America Rita finalist twice and won the 2011 and 2012 EPIC eBook awards in the Young Adult category. She was also a finalist in that category in 2013 and in 2014.
Linda has been married to her junior high school sweetheart over fifty years and lives in Arkansas, USA with her family. Ever a hopeless romantic, she still falls for unattainable Hollywood heroes that inspire her to write romances about alpha males and the women who stand up to them. Linda hints that her current crush’s name starts with Tom and ends with Hardy. Her website is www.lindavpalmer.com. You can also find her on Facebook: Linda Varner Palmer.

Have I mentioned anywhere before how much I love Linda Palmer's "Psy Squad" series? Well, yes. I suppose I have. And I'm here to say it again: I LOVE this series!!
One reason is that every time I pick up a new one of these books, I know certain things will be true. It's going to be a fast-moving read, the kind you won't want to put down. It's going to be written in Ms. Palmer's trademark style – clever, graceful, clear, and unique to her. Nobody else writes like this. There's going to be a sassy female lead whose sassiness doesn't quite cover up the fact that not everything in her life has been easy. There's going to be a very yummy guy who'll catch her eye – and maybe even her heart – but who she'll have reasons not to trust entirely. There's going to be a romance. Is it going to be the kind that runs smooth from start to finish? Nope. With these two, not a chance. And there's going to be a mystery.
Another thing these books have in common is that they're ALWAYS surprising. With some writers, in some series, you know exactly what you'll be reading, with minor differences to keep the plot twists interesting. And while I get why some readers like that sort of thing, this is not that sort of thing. I forget which 20th-century artist said, famously, "make it new," but that's what Linda Palmer does. Yes, some good things don't change from book to book, but other good things do. Count on there being a new concept, new problems, new twists and turns. New mystery – and a surprising solution.
Finally, I love these books because I believe in them. See, I'm a little bit psychic myself, so I know it's not only possible but probably true that there are other people out there who are a lot psychic. I especially believe in this one, DREAM JOB?, because I've had the kind of dreams that Rachel, aka R.J., has. Dreams that, in odd ways, come true…
