BLURB:
Cassie Scot is the ungifted daughter of powerful sorcerers, born
between worlds but belonging to neither. At 21, all she wants is to find a
place for herself, but earning a living as a private investigator in the shadow
of her family’s reputation isn’t easy. When she is pulled into a paranormal
investigation, and tempted by a powerful and handsome sorcerer, she will have
to decide where she truly belongs.
My
parents think the longer the name, the more powerful the sorcerer, so they
named me Cassandra Morgan Ursula Margaret Scot. You can call me Cassie.
I've
been called a lot of things in my life: normal, ordinary, and even a
disappointment. After the Harry Potter books came out, a couple of people
called me a squib. Since I haven't read them, I have to assume it's a
compliment.
Personally,
I prefer normal, which is why the sign on my office door reads: Cassie Scot,
Normal Detective.
You
have to understand that around here, when your last name is Scot, people are
easily confused. Not only are my parents powerful practitioners, but I have six
talented brothers and sisters. Plus, my family hasn't always been known for its
subtlety. When weird stuff happens around here, the people who are willing to
believe in magic are prone to suspect the Scots.
The
day I opened for business I got a call from an old woman who swore her cat was
possessed by the devil. She also swore she'd read my web site, which clearly
stated the types of work I did and did not do. Exorcisms were on the No list,
and while I hadn't specified pet exorcisms, I would have thought it was
implicit.

Congrats on your new release. I like the idea of a magical person having a website.
Congrats and great cover too.
wish my parents were sorcerers...
Thanks for hosting!
Of COURSE a modern sorcerer would have a website. What are people thinking? That modern technology and electricity somehow interfere with one another? *cough* (Never did buy that one! :) )
That's quite a name that Cassie has!
