For this week’s Hump Day Hook, I wanted to spotlight some of
the humor that I’ve incorporated into the McKnight, Perth & Daire stories.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Charlotte
slipped into the bathroom, checked to make sure she was alone, and then went
into a stall and locked the door. Then she pulled out her cell phone and called
her sister.
“Hey,” Holly greeted. “Are you on your
way home?”
“No, new development,” Charlotte
whispered.
“Why are you whispering?” Holly whispered
back.
“I’m in a bathroom stall,” Charlotte
said. “Why are you whispering?”
There was a slight pause. “I don’t know,”
she finally said in her normal voice. “Why did you call me from the bathroom,
or do I want to know?”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Charlotte Perth is all about sass because her job is
reminds her all too well the limits of human life. She’s clairvoyant but her gift is unique. She can only summon murdered souls and
interprets the visions they send her. When
she’s hired by a wealthy woman to determine the fate of her great nephew,
little does Charlotte
realize this is one ghost that refuses to cross over.
Detective Jonas Daire feels Charlotte
is a fake, out to swindle money from his rich aunt. When Charlotte
proclaims the nephew is not only dead but has been murdered, Jonas feels
especially disgusted at Charlotte’s
“profession”. But when his cousin’s body
is discovered in the place that she said it would be, with detailed accounts of
how he died, he places her under suspicion.
Jonas and Charlotte work together to find the killer. As the two grow closer together, another
malevolent force won’t stop until the truth is buried…until Charlotte’s
ghostly visions are her own.
Otherworldly (Book 1 in the McKnight, Perth & Daire
trilogy) comes out April 11th!
