NOGERO, AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE FANTASY - FIRST ONE SINCE STARSIGHT

 

NOGERO, An Alternate Universe Fantasy

I am very happy to announce that Nogero, an alternate-universe fantasy, is being released on my birthday, December 15th! This was an amazing project that I started several months ago encouraged by my son, Derrick Freeland, and is my first new publication since 2011. It is the story of Alicia Kendall who is whisked away by a strange white serpent and taken to an alternate universe set in the Mt. Hood, Oregon area. There, evolution has been turned on its head, metal is poison, and humans are myths. Perfection always comes at a cost. OUT FOR PRE-ORDER NOW! Only $.99 on Amazon.

ARE YOU PSYCHIC?

by Minnette Meador

 Reggie shrugged and rubbed his nose with a long forefinger. “The succubus is drawn to powerful men…psychics.”

“That’s horseshit, Reggie. I’m no psychic.”

 Reggie nailed him with a stony gaze and chuckled under his ghostly breath. “Let’s see… you see dead people. Not only do you see them, but you talk to them as well. As a matter of fact, some of your best friends are dead. Sounds rather psychic to me. But what do I know?”

 Keenan licked his lips. “Oh.”
A Ghost of a Chance, Chapter Three, Imbibbing Spirits

When I was a teenager, it was the 70’s when ESP, clairvoyance, and telekinetics made a big splash in the US. I had a teacher who was really into psychic abilities, and he asked some of us to participate in an experiment with a friend of his. His friend happened to be a very well-known professor of psychology at Portland State University. There were about ten of us who volunteered to do the gauntlet of ESP or Psy tests at the university. Two of us had very high readings and moved on to another set of tests. I had the highest ESP readings in the group. Now, honestly, I think a lot of it had more to do with my ability to read micro facial expressions and something else I’ve had all my life: I’m a witch.

No, not that kind of witch. I’m what some call a Dowser or Water Witch. For some reason, my neurons are arranged in some very strange configurations and my body acts like a kind of conduit for energy, whether it’s electricity, moving water, or even emotions. I can find water, metal, electricity, and sometimes even nothing. It’s not exactly rocket science and, to tell the truth, I still don’t know precisely how it works. I just know it does.

 Because of it, I have a gift for reading people, not only by their faces but also by the energy they are emanating. Weird, huh? I’m very good at reading emotions, especially very strong ones, only because they create a stronger emotional “current.” This makes it very hard to be in crowded places, like malls, movie theaters, etc.; crowds give me a splitting headache. However, I’ve learned to control it over the years. Now, for those of you who think this is magic, it’s very scientific; it’s just that I can feel magnetic fields that others can’t. You should have seen me the first time they put me in an MRI; I scared the tech out of his wits when I could tell him exactly where the scanner was on my body. I wasn’t supposed to feel anything.

In my book, A Ghost of a Chance, my wonderfully funny protagonist, Keenan, has abilities himself. He can see ghosts… and not just one or two; he sees them all. He puts out streetlamps as he walks by them when he’s angry or upset (which my husband swears I do all the time – he actually watches for it). On top of this, he has an uncanny ability to save the world, even though he doesn’t know it... or want it!

So, what about you? Are you psychic? Do you know someone who is? Are you the kid with all the gnarly powers? Tells us about it. You’d be surprised how many of us have them… or how many of us deny them. Share your experience... I LOVE a good psychic story! M;o)

NEWS...NEWS...

 

NEWS...NEWS...
OK, so lots of news today... To my utter delight, I now have a wonderful editor who worked with me on Centurion many years ago and now will be helping me with my new books. I won't release her name only because I'd like to protect her privacy, but she is an amazing writer, editor, and all-around gracious lady. I'm over the moon! Because of that, I'm taking Nogero and Phantom Hearts down from Kindle Vella, though the current chapters will be available for the next 60 days, so take a look for a preview. In addition, I've decided to release a novel every month starting in October, which should work well for me. Here is the first coming out on October 12th; it is a Special Edition of A Ghost of a Chance, so the old book has been taken down and you'll hear more about the new release as we get closer. Those of you who have read it, you may be in for a few surprises with the revised edition. Anyway, thanks to my lovely editor and to my many many author friends out there for all your advice and help (and patience) over the last several weeks. I love you all! M;o)

The Belle Stalker, Urban Fantasy Thriller by Minnette Meador

Belle Stark has struggled to conquer crippling fears since being attacked by a maniac. Despite the efforts of countless cops, her stalker continues to roam free. When Belle discovers her lover's mutilated body spread over the furniture, she becomes the prime suspect, but she's certain her attacker is to blame. With no where else to turn, Belle seeks help from her ex-husband, homicide detective Mike Cranston, the one person she swore she would never let back into her life...or her heart. In their hunt for answers, the two uncover more than a lunatic: a supernatural underworld hides beneath the tall skyscrapers along with a secret that could bring the city to its knees. Faced with a terrible choice, Belle surrenders herself to the hands of a monster, and Mike must solve an ancient mystery before it's too late to save her...

STARSIGHT, VOL. I - EPIC FANTASY

Rave Reviews by Piers Anthony & Spider Robinson

Trenara never thought she would have to guide a student she loved to become a messiah, but it is the only way this second trial Starguider can salvage her world. Torn between her devotion to Joshan and the fate of her kind, Trenara struggles against accusations of murder, the onset of war, and the loss of her faith in gods who have turned their backs on her. The only people she can trust to help them are two war-ravaged heroes; the boy's life-long trainer and an old sea captain everyone thought was a ghost. Their only weapon, a ten-year-old boy who wakes one morning to find his childhood gone and his hands filled with a power he couldn't possibly understand--or control. Together they must destroy a psychotic enemy and a religious order that has been running the Imperium for a thousand years; a system they have all taken vows to protect.

“[Starsight] is one powerful and imaginative fantasy adventure novel with many nice touches...there is magic galore, and challenge galore; nothing comes easy. It's the first of a series, and it should do well if readers become aware of it.”
Piers Anthony

"After millennia of discovery and exploration, and especially the last century or two of strip-mining, you’d think the fantasy genre would be wrung dry by now, leaving its writers with nothing to do but rewrite, presenting old ideas in newer clothes. Minnette Meador has begun reinventing and redefining the field by page 30 of STARSIGHT, and hasn’t stopped by the final sentence. But there’s more than just novel ideas going on, here; Meador also knows the unfakeable secret of keeping even newcomers turning the pages: care about your characters so much it becomes infectious. This is a Typhoid Mary of a book, from a writer to watch."
Spider Robinson, co-author with Robert A. Heinlein of VARIABLE STAR
