Enjoy this peek inside:

“Have you ever heard of Starlight?”

“Star light? Sure. Is it an astronomy program?”

Nancy smiled and laughed lightly. “No. Starlight[ is a psychic. She has a very popular podcast and has appeared at several libraries. She’s also worked with the police finding missing persons. Ramsay’s acquainted with her.”

Ron Ramsay, the town’s sheriff, was a long-time friend of Alicia’s. He was also married to Alicia’s best friend, Gilly, who ran the Cobble Inn and worked part-time at the library.

“Does Gilly know her, too?”

“Probably. You can ask her when she comes in today. Anyway,” Nancy pushed back a dark curl, “I can start advertising for her appearance. I’ve added the date to our program calendar and will send out an eblast to our newsletter list.”

Alicia didn’t know how she felt about having a psychic hold a program at the library, but she trusted Nancy’s judgment. “Sounds good. Will she be doing any predictions?”

“That’s part of her, uh, act, Alicia. She takes random people from the audience and does a reading for them.”

“Does she use tarot cards or a crystal ball?”

Nancy shook her head. “She only uses their aura and vibrations she gets from it to make predictions about them.”

Alicia was open to new ideas and things that couldn’t be explained by science.  but she was also skeptical about psychics who used tricks as deftly as magicians to con people into believing their extraordinary talents.

“I guess that could be fun if it isn’t taken too seriously. It might be a nice way to get people back into the library, but please make sure that you include a disclaimer that this is an entertainment program and the library isn’t responsible for the accuracy of any predictions the psychic makes.”

Nancy nodded, sending her curls jumping again. “Got it, Alicia. Thank you.” She stood up from her seat.

After she left, Alicia finished her coffee and paper. Then she turned to Sneaky. “Did you hear that, Sneak? A psychic is coming to the library. I’ve got to see what Gilly knows about this Starlight.” Alicia glanced at the pendulum-like, tail-swishing, google-eyed black and white cat clock on her wall. “She should be coming in right about now.”

Sneaky, awakened from his dream of KittyKai, his pretty calico friend and fellow cat sleuth from the inn, followed Alicia as she went downstairs to speak with her friend.
