The Augurs

by Ann Werner

Something is happening to the people of New Hope. Months after surviving the Red Scourge, some citizens awaken to find they possess psychic abilities. They share the same strange premonition but have no idea what it means. A woman is on the way. But who is she? And what is drawing her to New Hope? When a trader brings Michaela Robinson to town, their questions are partly answered. She tells them something is coming. Something bad. She doesn't know what it is but feels the psychic abilities that have suddenly appeared will be necessary to meet the struggle ahead.

Soon after, an old enemy returns, and a girl goes missing.

Now New Hope must grapple with finding her without the benefit of modern technology. Will their fledgling psychic power be enough? Or is she lost to them forever?

About the author

I have always had a voracious curiosity and loved doing creative things. The combination of the two has resulted in a lifetime of experiences. From the mundane to the ridiculous to the sublime, I've pretty much run the gamut. At one point in time I sold cemetery plots - that didn't last long - and I've also been a professional actor, my most notable role being Eliana on the soap opera Days of Our Lives for nearly seven and a half years. But books have always been my passion and I started writing in earnest in 1997, although I have been writing all of my adult life. I think entertaining people is one of the most important things one can do. When you're having a bad day, when your heart gets broken, when things seem bleak, you can always find a few minute's respite in the pages of a book or by watching your favorite TV show or movie. If I can provide that respite for someone, then I feel that I've done something worthwhile.
