About the author
Jacqueline Vick
36 books42 followersJacqueline Vick writes mysteries that include farcical situations and satirical humor. She writes about characters who are reluctant to accept their greatest (and often embarrassing) gifts.
She is the author of THE FRANKIE CHANDLER PET PSYCHIC MYSTERIES about a woman who, after faking her psychic abilities for years, discovers animals can communicate with her. The series evolved out of her desperate attempts to train a rescued mutt with fear-based aggression. Two visits with animal communicators inspired the article Calling All Canine Clairvoyants for Fido Friendly Magazine.
Her second series is THE HARLOW BROTHER MYSTERIES, featuring brothers Edward and Nicholas Harlow. Edward, a former college linebacker, now ghost writes the Aunt Civility etiquette books. Nicholas is his secretary and general dogsbody.
Her first mystery, Family Matters, was a semifinalist in the 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Competition. Her short stories have appeared in numerous publications, including Future Mystery Anthology Magazine and The Best of Everyday Fiction Two Anthology. Her novella, Lovely As, was a finalist for the Black Orchid Novella Contest.
When she isn’t writing, Jacqueline enjoys acting as the neighborhood dog sitter and testing new recipes on her long-suffering husband.

Political opinions are so wrong to put into your novels!
I do not agree with the Author taking advantage to state her personal, and yes, Political feelings on Abortion rights! It is just plain disgusting for her to put that in her books! It really is not something I want to read about,it ruins the entire story to put her two cents worth in on abortion rights! Very very sad !.just had to do it, pushy, arrogant, and totally so outrageous thing to do!! Will not read anymore of her books. I do not like to read an authors private opinions coming out of her Character s mouths! Its disgracefully, really.

Valentine Day Surprise!
A beautiful setting on Valentine Day turns dark for Frankie & bf Bowers. Luckily Frankie being a pet psychic can help. This is a quick, fun read that becomes a bridge to where Frankie & Bower’s relationship goes from here.

bad editing
A big chunk of this story repeats itself. Please check it out. I like the series and the writing is good, but the entire story repeats itself.
