I'm only about half way through the Abby Cooper series, but I'm really enjoying it. Thank you for writing it. I have to wonder if Abby will ever encounter an anti-psychic? Either a person or a thing that counters her abilities? It would be fun to see her have to rely on her other abilities and friends in the absence of her super-power. To see her be special even without her special ability.

Hi Glen!
I love that you're so invested in the series that you're already thinking up alternate plots! To your specific idea here, however, I will say that it's a remarkably creative one, but one that would require a bit more fantasy than Abby's world would allow. She's very, very close to reality, and there currently doesn't exist an "anti-psychic" that I know of that could plausibly take away her abilities. Plus, I personally think that the point of the series is to showcase how limited psychics actually are. We see things others can't, but not always in context, and that's what makes it challenging and fun to revolve a mystery around. Thanks so much for the idea, however, I LOVE that imagination of yours! So clever! :)
My best,
Victoria

Hi I am going to presume Ghoul's Guide to Love and Murder is the last of this series? I believe you did a good job and closing this up with M.J. and Heath getting married on their vacation and also expecting a little girl. In the meantime Gilley and Michael getting married as well. You have Oruc and all the worst case ghost chasing them as they try to find the missing artifact. Are you planning on a new series?

Hi Victoria! I want to say I'm a HUGE fan of the Abby Cooper Psychic Eye Mysteries. I have consumed the first 6 in less than 3 months. My question is, how much of you is in the character of Abby? And p.s. I love Eggy, I have a dachshund, so that made just one more thing to love the book!!!
