G G Collins loves the southwestern US where many of her stories are located. She can be found hiking through ruins of the ancient ones and enjoying New Mexican cuisine. When not traipsing about, she makes up stories with great friendships, quirky characters and, oh yeah, dead bodies. In real life she shares her time with a man, several neurotic—and psychic—cats and the ongoing struggle to grow a garden.

Inspired by the American southwest, its many cultures and Native American traditions, GG Collins writes two mystery series set in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Whether you enjoy chilling paranormal mysteries/thrillers or cozy cat-inhabited puzzles, Collins delivers. The Rachel Blackstone Paranormals are infused with shamans, power animals and spirit

In it, Rachel must travel back in time to The Manhattan Project (the development of the first atomic bomb) to stop two evil men from changing history. Although it a serious subject, there are moments of humor and lots of Santa Fe (New Mexico, US) local color.

Oh noooo. Grief does strange things to us and when a dear friend died I, with no experience at all, enacted a "transitional blessing" for her. During the blessing, I asked if she could let me know she was okay, never expecting anything would come of it--but you know they do this in movies, and it works in that concept.

The following morning I was mundanely applying toothpaste to my brush when suddenly a small clock flew off a shelf, hit the wall on the other side of the room and fell into the bathtub. I was shaken and confused at this occurrence, but the clock was intact so I replaced it on the shelf.

All day I puzzled over this. The shelf was secure and level. How could this have happened? I even measured the distance from the shelf to the wall: eight feet. The clock had not fallen off, but streaked across the room like a UFO!

The following day as I prepared once again to brush my teeth, I touched the clock. It was stable. Reassured and about to believe I'd dreamed it all, I squeezed the toothpaste tube.

And then, the clock rattled on the shelf! At that point, I was actually a little afraid.

That's when I ran for my laptop and began writing what would become a Rachel Blackstone Paranormal Mystery short story. The title is "Presence" and it's available at Amazon. Read it and discover what the message meant.

--G G Collins, author of the Rachel Blackstone Paranormal Mystery series.

“Allow the power to flow through you. Don’t try to capture it. You wish only to borrow it.”
G.G. Collins, Reluctant Medium

“The wolf turned to Rachel. She was afraid to run, afraid fleeing would make it chase her. Somewhere in the stored files of her mind, she remembered one should not look directly at a menacing dog, but she couldn’t take her eyes from it.”
G.G. Collins, Reluctant Medium

“There was nothing physical she could do to stop Mario from carrying out whatever he wished. She shivered at the thought of what that sleazy, other world leftover might do should she launch an attack on him.”
G.G. Collins, Reluctant Medium
