The Psychic Adviser

Juan Moisés De La Serna

Publisher: Tektime

Summary

No one could have told me, and if they had, I would not have believed them, that I would be a writer, considering how difficult it was for me to read as a child.
Despite this, circumstances had forced me to this profession, since having as much time as I had now, locked up for life, I wouldn't have much else to do.
It is true that some prisoners were engaged in exercising in the yard, and besides studying in the library, the weakest of them took training courses, but all of them have something that I do not have, an ideal to fight for and move forward.
With a sentence of a few months or even years, it is easy to think that the preparation will serve them well for something, and that it will be easier to make a living outside this prison, but in my case, with the certainty that I will never step outside again, what's the point of getting ready?

When the body of Nancy Henry is pulled out of the water of Sykes Creek by two local fishermen, they soon realize she’s not dead. Not yet. Before she disappeared, Nancy Henry appeared to have everything: a successful husband who adored her, two beautiful children, a modeling career, and a charming home on South Merritt Island with a heart wreath on the door. Now that she is back five years later, everything has changed. Her husband has remarried, and her children are almost grown. Everywhere she turns, people are telling her the same thing: We thought you were dead. What happened to her? Nancy claims she doesn’t know where she has been. She remembers nothing after a blow to her head, and she doesn’t want to talk to the investigation team lead by former FBI profiler Eva Rae Thomas, who has agreed to help with this bizarre case.
