Some human beings have evolved, while others remain the same. The evolved are the Polleo and while they look like 'everyone else', they are not. They can use their minds to manipulate the elements of earth, air, fire and water. And that is only the beginning. They can also manipulate the very flesh of their fellow human beings!
There is a murderer on the loose in Chicago. The weapon is not a gun or a knife, or even bare hands. The murderer uses the power of the mind. The power inherent in him as one of the Polleo. And this is not the first time he has abused his powers. He is the one responsible for what came to be known many years ago, as the Psychic Slaughters. The murders ended with a young mother named Rose Brewton. Silver Brewton and his partner/lover Gabriel Kinlan are psychic detectives assigned to hunt down and apprehend the one responsible for the Psychic Slaughters. Is the murderer the same one who killed Silver's mothers when he was just a child? He is determined to find out.
What's to say? Let's start with my favorite quotes (Yea, cynicism is almost a religious thing with me)
"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it." George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
"Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist." George Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008)
I've been writing ever since I can remember. I love it. More, I love being Indie.
I was born and bred in Chicago (many places in the Cassandra's Cops Series actually exist! I used to live in John's building!). I currently live in Southern California with my husband, Marty, my ex husband Don (don't go there, it isn't even remotely what you're thinking, ya perv!) and three great kids!
Being Indie, I can (and do) publish what I want, when I want. Perfect examples of this are found in Michael and the issues addressed in many of my books and stories. I've been told I make people think. Praise don't get higher than that!
Rumor has it that this book was turned down by a publisher because they wanted the characters to be straight, but author Crystal Brewton refused. Good for her, as the gay-themed novel hits an A+ for originality, storyline, and character development. One of Brewton's best works to date.
