EXCERPT
When Lucy floated back across the room, Lana glimpsed a terrified face in the window nearest the side door leading to the carport. It was her neighbor, Roxie Thomas, with curlers in her strawberry blonde hair and cold cream still covering her horrified face. When the dress glided toward a filing cabinet, Roxie’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped. The closed window muffled her screams.

“Get back! Roxie saw you. I mean, she saw your dress. I’ll see if I can talk to her.” But as Lana reached the door, Roxie ran away, her screeches fading as she widened the space between their houses.

“Fix this situation before I bring her back.” Lana slammed the door behind her.
Lana’s house sat on stilts with two rooms adjacent to the carport at ground level–one room, the one closest to the carport sufficed as her new PI office leading into a library, entertainment and den combination. The office and the other room were divided by a wall with an arched doorway. Stairs led to the second level open-floor plan containing a living room-kitchen combination, two bedrooms with an adjoining bathroom between them.

Trotting across the yard, she caught up with Roxie on the other side of the hedge. “Roxie, wait up.” Roxie dashed for her house without looking back.
“Stay away from me, you…you…you witch! I’m calling the cops.” She stumbled up the steps sideways and sank slowly to her knees on her front porch.
“Don’t be ridiculous! It’s not what you think. Please, come back and see. Besides, how will you explain to the police that you were peeping in my window? They don’t like peeping Roxies around here, you know. They’ve already warned you about it.” Lana leaned down to help her up, but Roxie snatched her hand away.

“Don’t touch me! Stay away!” Her eyes glistened with unshed tears. “I know what I saw. They’ll believe me this time.” Roxie wrapped her arms around her middle as if it would ward off any evil Lana may do to her.

“Okay, okay, now, just calm down. I only want to help you. Where’s Ralph? Can I get him for you?” Lana motioned toward the front door.

Roxie held her hand up, palm out. “Don’t come any closer. He’s right inside, he is.” Her voice trembled. “He’ll be out here any minute, so d-don’t you try any of your witchcraft voodoo on me. I’ve always known there was something weird about you…about your whole family.”

“What’s going on out here, Roxie?” A big-bellied man with thinning hair stood in the doorway.

“Ralph, oh, Ralph, I’m glad you’re here. She’s a witch. I-I saw her making stuff float around her office.” She gestured with her hands in the air while describing what she’d seen.

“Mr. Thomas, I just came to explain to your wife that what she saw was a new gadget I’ve invented to dry clothes.” Lana smiled. “Your wife thinks I twitched my nose or something to make a dress float across the room.”

In book two, GET OUT OR DIE, the success of Lana’s first case has spread throughout the local Charleston area and her business is booming.

In book three, THE WEDDING CRASHER, Lana is on her honeymoon in Gatlinburg, Tennessee when she learns that a reoccurring vision about an abducted woman took place in nearby Knoxville. This case takes her hiking up mountainsides and trekking through rough terrain to find a madman before he can harm this young woman.

In the fourth book, CHRISTMAS CRUISE, Lana boards a cruise ship haunted by dead women who were brutally murdered. While aboard the ship Lana has an experience that mentally injures her. Once she recovers, she’s more determined than ever to find the murderer.
