Emma Willis

"Emma stuck her face to the window to watch the rain. Lightning in the background drew a fiery specter in the sky, while her eyes traced the water droplets running down the pane like tears." Emma Willis is ten years old and has a secret. She not only inherited her grandmother's power of sight, she can accomplish much more. Like most children without siblings growing up amongst adults, she is precocious yet, at times lonely. When a murderer is loose in Newark, a maniac with a thirst for killing little girls, she begins to understand why her Granny Dottie called her sight a curse. She will need all her powers to catch a killer and help the people in her life: Detective Hank Apple, her teacher Christina Tyler, and her little family of three. Only...the madman knows, who she is!

Emma just turned fifteen. Her powers have spiraled to include unusual magic, and she gladly relies on Hank and Christina's friendship to mark the way. Thomas Carson's feelings for Emma have changed, her aunt Franka tells her- a young man her aunt describes as a young buck, whose testosterone plays a big role in his life. New friends around Emma surprise her. They appear to be like nothing she could have imagined, and their goals stir more disturbance than their presence. Until she bumps into the scourge of our existence: entities who wish to control what humans do and say. She learns they are powerful, vindictive and will stop at nothing to obtain what they want. Will Emma be able to protect the people she loves?

Twenty-year-old Emma is studying to obtain her licensure in Psychology. Her master's degree, upgraded to a doctorate thanks to her Professor, is demanding. When life suddenly, files by her in strange new episodes, she wonders. Time shifts? Wizards? Or, is her tired mind disrupting who and where she is? The more answers Emma seeks, the more she realizes how deep the rabbit hole drops. At times, she imagines herself alone and never able to return to the life she loves. She needs Columba, Hank Apple, and all the other superheroes in her life to help her understand the cause of the upheaval in the world. Of course, Thomas Carson attempts to use his love to guide Emma through the storm as he refuses to let go of her.
