Publisher Description
They say there are blessings from disasters. One is starting over.
The hurricane gave Viola Valentine the chance she needed to leave her dead-end job and loveless marriage. But the storm that came barreling through New Orleans also blew open a psychic door, one that Viola had worked hard to keep close.
Her first day in her new job as a travel writer and ghosts who have died by water are demanding attention, asking her to solve their mysteries.
On top of it all, her goofy ex-husband isn’t about to let her go.
Can she insist on a clean slate while busy communicating with those on the Other Side? And will her new talent allow her to reach her daughter who died of leukemia years before?
A paranormal mystery series from award-winning author Cherie Claire.

Customer Reviews
A Ghost of a Chance
With a name like Viola Valentine, one expects love and hearts to follow her around. Instead, she keeps seeing ghosts. As a freelance travel writer, unsolved murders don’t top her list of priorities but they keep appearing to her. Despite the stress this and some unpleasant coworkers, she makes new friends and discovers a little more about herself. But will all this commotion lose her the new job and her sanity?
The story contains an interesting premise and some fun characters but the writing felt rushed in some places and then lingered on scenes of inappropriate behavior. Also, the number of typos and poor choices of word or grammar would have benefited from a good editor.
