Elizabeth's novels include a FATAL FORTUNE, first in the Lottie Baldwin paranormal mystery series; LADY OF THE TWO LANDS, a time-travel romance; and SINCE ALL IS PASSING, a suspense. She's written contemporary and paranormal romance novellas for ONE TOUCH BEYOND; ENCHANTED HOLIDAYS; HOLIDAY HEARTS; HOLIDAY HEARTS 2; and CUPID'S CAPERS, and has also published a speculative short story collection, THE MIDNIGHT ZONE. In addition to her writing, Elizabeth teaches online writing courses for Writer's Digest.

Reviews

[Cathy Geha · Rating 3 out of 5]

This short story begins with a walk in the woods that is turned sinister by a premonition that has Lottie leading Harland to a dead body. During the hunt for the murderer Harland will use his police skills while Lottie resorts to her Tarot deck. Who will find the murderer and will there be risk to anyone else’s life? Will Lottie get involved even though she is asked not to?

This is a short and easy read. In my opinion, even though there is a murder, I believe this would be appropriate for anyone from mid-teens on.

This is another excellent Lottie Baldwin mystery read. Lottie deciphers the clues of the tarot cards like an expert. She's strong willed which gets her into trouble sometimes and this story is no exception.
