About this series
The Strange Series Collection of Psi-fi Thrillers
Three Full-Length Novels:
- Relatively Strange
- Even Stranger
- Stranger Still
I was 5 when I found I could fly, 16 when I killed a man. Both events were unsettling, but one thing was clear, I wasn't cut out for heroics. Unfortunately, normal didn't work that well due to an inability to keep my nose out of other people's business, an overworked conscience and those who wanted to take me apart to see what made me tick.
*Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Janet Evanovich.*

WHEN PEOPLE CAN'T BELIEVE THEIR EYES - THEY USUALLY DON'T! 1950s, London, England. A baby girl was born - that was me. My parents had no inkling I was different. Naturally, neither did I, and it was quite a while before it dawned on me that nobody else saw and heard as I did. Luckily my family were on the paranoid side, and as they came to understand more about what I was and what I could do, paranoia proved politic. Taking everything into account, I think we managed well, and it wasn't anybody's fault that things took a turn for the dangerous before heading for life-threatening. After all, you have to learn to take the rough with the smooth. * * * "Love this series, a mix of genres beautifully written." ~ M A Comley, NYT & USA Today Bestseller "Pitch-perfect humour, beautiful sentences and a deadpan, matter-of-fact narration.

I was five when I found I could fly, sixteen when I killed a man. Both events were unsettling in their own way and, together with various other close calls, taught me I was not, nor did I want to be, hero material. Telepathy and my other odd abilities needed to be kept under wraps. Going forward, normal was going to be the name of the game. The fact that normal didn't work that well was probably due to an overdeveloped conscience, an inability to keep my nose out of other people's business and because several people wanted me dead. Why is it just when you think you've got all your ducks in a row, something or someone always turns up to blast them right out of the water?

"Bending over me solicitously was a porcelain-headed, laughing policeman; wide-mouthed with mirth, he leaned closer, tilting his head in a parody of concern. Eyeless he watched me, tongueless he chanted, I knew the chant and my mind couldn't help but chant with him, 'Oh, I wish, I wish, I wish I knew exactly what to do with you.'" Telepathy, along with sundry other odd abilities, have landed Stella more than once, in situations at best controversial, at worst life-threatening. But she's always known; you have to fight your own corner as best you can, no point beating yourself up about it. Now though, times have changed, different priorities. She's married, with a baby on the way and a flourishing business. She simply has to deal with a couple of worrying issues and then all should be smooth sailing. But, isn't it a fact; just when you think you've got all your ducks in a row, life can turn right around and bite you on the bottom? Another Roller-Coaster of a Psi-Fi Thriller in the Strange Series. Perfect for fans of Stephen King and Janet Evanovich.
