Ghosts

The life of a psychic is strange. It shouldn't be deadly.After several chaotic months, Bax has finally come to terms with his clairvoyant abilities. But fate takes a turn no psychic could have predicted when the teenage daughter of a prominent politician disappears under mysterious circumstances.Forced to team up with his former nemesis, Bax is determined to continue his quest to atone for past mistakes. When the search for the missing girl uncovers a far more elaborate conspiracy, he begins to realize his selfless motives may be working against him - especially when the ghosts of his relatives appear with dire warnings about his imminent death.Will Bax choose to save himself, or will he risk his life to save a girl who may not deserve salvation? I guess I am the classic "late bloomer." I had to sit in the front row of the class picture every year in elementary school; I didn't reach my present, permanent height until the year I got my driver's license. It took me a long time to "grow up" mentally, too; I was probably the least goal-oriented person you could ever meet.I always enjoyed reading books, though I was convinced that I was not, and never would be, creative enough to come up with an original idea or story without cobbling it together from things I'd already seen. And so, in my mid-forties, imagine my surprise when a story was born inside my head, and nine months later had grown so large that I couldn't hold it in any more.Better a "late bloomer" than a "never bloomer," I guess.I live in Arizona with my amazing wife Vaneza, and our kids, June and Sunshine (one is a dog and one is a cat, I'll let you figure out which is which). A series by Patrick Hodges.
