Clare Stewart is no ordinary thirteen-year-old. Since an early age,
she has been trained in the psychic arts by her spirit guide, who
is also her deceased Aunt Miriam. Clare has a burning desire to
become a writer, and during the Christmas school holidays of her
thirteenth summer, she writes about her daily experiences and
childhood memories. Over a six-week period, Miriam helps Clare to
discover her past by dream travelling fifty thousand years back in
time to the lost continent of Atlantis. Miriam is also preparing
Clare for her future, when Clare will take her place in the world
as a gifted psychic, and a spiritual advisor who will assist those
in need of her supernormal abilities. Clare narrates her day-to-day
life down under, and relates many humorous and anecdotal tales
about colourful local characters and historical events. In
addition, Clare learns about intuition, other dimensions,
telepathy, and the meaning of dreams. For those interested in
discovering more about the adventures of this teenage clairvoyant
from the land down under, this book is one of the few resources
available for younger readers which seriously considers the deeper
aspects of the human psyche, as well as introducing the adult world
of paranormal research in the format of a juvenile fiction.

are stymied. The citizenry is howling for results. Donal's
investigation points to two murderers, Micah Capers and Joan
Wiley-Capers, a psychotic husband and wife team. But, before he can
bring them to justice, they disappear. The killers resurface,
having decided to abduct a well known film star, model, and singer.
While the fact is not known either to the intended abductee or to
Capers's wife Joan, the intended victim is Capers's half-sister who
he half lusts after/half blames for perceived damage to his life.
When the victim, Claudia Chatrian, is grabbed from Hilton Head
Island Donal is brought back into the case. It becomes a race
against time. Persistence rewards Donal with the vital clue to
where Claudia is being held captive and he effects a rescue but not
before the male of the murderous duo has killed his wife and
escaped. Donal tracks Capers, who manages to stay a step ahead,
first in Canada and then in Mexico. Finally, Donal's and Capers's
paths cross in the Houston airport where the killer is reentering
the U.S. under an alias. A fight ensues and Donal captures Capers.
Donal, back in SC, is informed that Capers has escaped from the

thwarted him and finishing his love/hate 'game' with his half
sister. In a rampage designed to terrorize Claudia, Capers murders

Capers's death by immolation take place on a luxury yacht Off
Hilton head SC. The novel is structured as a suspense/chase story.
The reader knows the killers identity from the inception. The
protagonist must uncover motive, find the killer, and stop him.
Johnny Donal, P.I., a retired cop, now with a successful
investigations agency, should be enjoying life in the SC
Lowcountry. He isn't. That he has a stellar reputation as an
investigator; that he has a source of independent wealth; that he
can pick and choose cases should, if anything, add to his good
life. None of it does. Instead, Donal is a troubled man. His lover
has left him and, worse, he's batting zero with his attempts to get
her back. He also has a new client with a strange attitude about
the circumstances surrounding her missing husband and Donal isn't
sure that he can trust the woman. Then a friend is murdered and
that case intertwines with Donal's missing husband case. Despite a
double dealing client, negative involvement with influential
locals, and political obstacles cluttering his investigation, the
question becomes can the P.I., who has problems of his own to
resolve, uncover the identity of the killer or killers and solve
the crimes?
