Email to an author....

Jeff's Mom had given me a book for Christmas that I did not really care for. My fault though, she thought she was getting me a book I wanted ( I did not give full details to Jeff) So off to B&N to make the return.. I stumbled upon this little book Vision of Murder about a psyhic who invests in a house that happens to be haunted. I picked it up, put it down, picked it up & then carried it around the store for an hour as I tried to find something "better". Well needless to say, I didnt find anything else & walked out of the store just thinking this book was aah OK.

Started to read it last week & its so cute. Its funny and I just think the characters are adorable - especially the main one Abby. Putting the book down, I noticed the photo on the back cover of the author & figured I'd take a peak.. Victoria Laurie is a real psyhic that actually has worked with the police department. She does phone readings & she lives right in Arlington, Mass. She has a website, so I checked it out & actually sent her an email. She replied later the same day. I've included my email to her & her reply. She seems very down to earth & again - I just love the way she words things.. if that makes any sense. I would love to see how she is with a reading... but of course I'd like to check her out a little bit... how does one check out a psychic? Do you contact the better business bureau?? Just because she charges $75 & I dont know of anyone thats had a reading by her. I love her personality & would like to call today!

Anyway, here's the emails:

Hi Victoria ~

I am currently reading this book and absolutely love it. Last night putting the book down in order to get some shut eye, I noticed your picture in the back & decided to peek at what was
written there. Its nice to know you are in the area & a true psychic.

I love the way you word things...love Abby's character.. how she gets mad at Dutch and sometimes acts like she's 5 (dont we all?? ) Cant wait to read your other books (very excited to see you have more than one ) and hoping to email you when ready for a reading!

Thanks for creating such a great character & an enjoyable book! : )
