I'm only about half way through the Abby Cooper series, but I'm really enjoying it. Thank you for writing it. I have to wonder if Abby will ever encounter an anti-psychic? Either a person or a thing that counters her abilities? It would be fun to see her have to rely on her other abilities and friends in the absence of her super-power. To see her be special even without her special ability.

Hi Glen!
I love that you're so invested in the series that you're already thinking up alternate plots! To your specific idea here, however, I will say that it's a remarkably creative one, but one that would require a bit more fantasy than Abby's world would allow. She's very, very close to reality, and there currently doesn't exist an "anti-psychic" that I know of that could plausibly take away her abilities. Plus, I personally think that the point of the series is to showcase how limited psychics actually are. We see things others can't, but not always in context, and that's what makes it challenging and fun to revolve a mystery around. Thanks so much for the idea, however, I LOVE that imagination of yours! So clever! :)
My best,
Victoria

Thank you for the psychic eye series. I'm really enjoying it. I will also be digging into the ghost hunter mysteries. Is the actual process of doing readings like the way Abby does it in the books? It's really interesting to see the process. I love your sense of humor! Keep up the excellent work!

How did you come up with the idea for the Magnets repelling ghosts in the M.J. books? I find that endlessly fascinating to even think about, as a member of a paranormal investigation team, it makes me giggle every time. Also, Gilly is a hoot as a character, and I am so glad you've made him have redeeming qualities, and not be TOTALLY self absorbed. He is very like Cat in that way. LOL!
