Preview of Minister's Cord

Here's a quick preview of the opening to give you a taste of what's in my new book:

Aletheia probably should have told Edgar what she’d seen. What was wrong with her that she wasn’t telling him?  Don’t. He and Elijah are such good friends and anyhow you aren’t exactly sure what you saw anyways. The first was obvious, the second less so, and the third was downright strange. It felt like a presence, like feeling someone in the room with you, reaching out to touch your shoulder and make first contact, and yet it also had a heavy, brooding quality to it, one that threatened to drag your thoughts down into it and lay claim to them.  I really should tell him.   No, you can’t, and anyhow you shouldn’t be telling people what’s in other people’s heads. It’s like snooping in someone’s diary. You don’t even have the right to be there in the first place. Besides, the dry erase board showed that he was trying hard to control his thoughts.   Still, it was strange. Back in Tokyo, the dream reads were only about Edgar. That made sense. She loved Edgar. She loved Edgar more than life itself. It had always been Edgar, with all the obstacles thrown in their way, with all the reasons each one had to write off the other, he’d been the one that was always at the center of her thoughts. She’d never had anyone know her the way he did, love her the way he did. So of course she could latch on to his emotions and crawl into his psyche. What she couldn’t figure out was why she had also connected with Mae and, even more than Mae, Elijah.   God, the ritual had changed so much.
