Home is where the plug is

I’m sitting in my new office. It’s called Starbucks Coffee! We’re into the second day of no electricity after the hurricane, a problem forcing me to seek out a new place to plug into for power. The fascinating thing about this adventure is discovering how many people are sitting at Starbucks working on their laptop, using their cell phones, drinking coffee, and pretending they are at work. 
I remember back in 1985 we had another hurricane which knocked out electricity. In that storm we had no Starbucks, no laptops and no cell phones. Think about that. To make a call away from home, we needed to find a pay phone (that is a phone that you have to put money into if you want to make a call). 
The only thing that remains the same is the coffee. Nevertheless, twenty five years ago I didn’t have to pay $4.95 for a cup. Just Say'n

Readers’ hearts will be beating hard as they join in this adventure where people come back from the dead, wear so many facades you’re not quite sure who’s on the good or bad side of the law, while experiencing the growing attraction between the lady ‘cop’ who could be lying through her teeth and the normally bored psychologist who stepped into the adventure of a lifetime.

The author, a practicing psychotherapist, certainly knows how to light a fire at the beginning of a tale and guide the reader through all types of personalities and red herrings that will make them very disappointed when the story has to come to an end.

Quill Says: This is one psychologist who has met his match when it comes to a truly astonishing female!
