I began writing my first Abby Cooper novel in the winter of 2003. As a professional psychic of many years, I really wanted to portray an intuitive as a normal person – because we really are normal after all….we’re just a bit more “sensitive” than most.
Truth be told, even after Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye was published, I had no thoughts of becoming a full time professional writer too. Back then I firmly believed that I’d write two or three books in the Psychic Eye series, and move on to some other hobby.
What I didn’t fully realize until I was finishing my third book, was truly how much joy I find in telling a story. For me there is almost nothing more satisfying than writing those final twenty pages of a novel after taking all my characters on something of a roller coaster ride. And I live for those moments when, creatively, it feels like I actually got it right.
I suppose I’d better love what I do, because now there’re three separate books for each of my three series to turn out every year. It is work, but it’s fabulous work if you can get it.
I still do psychic readings for clients too, mostly because my fans are the best on the planet, and connecting with them through a session always makes my day!
So, if you’re a fan, I thank you. If you’re a client, I thank you. If you’re just stopping by to check me out…peruse at your leisure!
Hugs,
