Psychic detectives Levi Wolfe and

has claimed 19 lives and counting.
The suspect was in an accident
almost two years ago that left him paralyzed in a wheel chair, but the murders
continue. Is he faking it or has he enlisted a protégé to continue his reign of
terror?
As Levi and Trudy draw closer to
the truth, Trudy discovers new and unsettling psychic abilities in herself.

Excerpt:
“So, tell
me about your experience,” Trudy said, sitting next to Levi.
“It was
strange. Very strange. I was contacted – during a business meeting, mind you –
by the dead son of the new contractor I was speaking with in my office. This
kid – a salvage yard murder victim – popped into my head and started yelling at
me. I tried to shut him out, but I couldn’t. I had to actually stop the damned
meeting and tell the man that his deceased son was demanding an audience. Gonzo
thought I’d lost my noodle.”
“Good Lord!”
She covered her parted lips with her hand. “I’d say that was a heck of a
coincidence, but . . .it seems to be so much more than that.”
“Yeah,
right.” He sat back and drummed his fingers on the table for a few seconds.
“Anyway, the kid – Clayton Nelson – was hitchhiking in New Orleans when a guy
in a pickup stopped for him. He couldn’t see much of the man’s face because he
wore a ball cap and sunglasses. He had a mustache that looked fake to me. He
used the ploy of something being wrong with his truck to get the kid to look
under the hood and then he knocked him out with a blow to the head. Clay came
to in a basement, his wrists and ankles bound with plastic ties and chains.” He
shuttered his gaze from her. “That’s where he was murdered.” A few seconds ticked
by before his lashes lifted to reveal his dark blue eyes that never missed
much. “You’ve been in contact with the murderer already, haven’t you?”
Her heart
jolted. He was uncanny. “I was in contact with someone who’s warped. I don’t
know if it was the salvage yard killer.”
“Was he
murdering someone?”
“Something.
A cat.”
Levi’s
upper lip lifted in disgust. “Jesus.”
“Yeah. He
was practicing, I think.” She shuddered and blocked out the memory.
“The kid
in my head showed me a compass and pointed to the N on it.”
She
gasped at the reference. “Your true north?”
“Bingo.
His way of telling me that you were already part of this.”
She
reached for her glass of juice. They must be destined to examine this case. How
else could she explain what happened to Levi and what she’d already experienced?

MY
INTERVIEW WITH DEBORAH CAMP
How
would you describe your style of writing to someone that has never read your
work?
Several reviewers have
likened The Mind’s Eye books to J.D. Robb’s In Death series. I can see that,
sort of. My heroines are sassy and smart. My heroes are bad boys with soft
hearts. My books move at a fast clip. I try hard not to write scenes that you
want to skip over because they’re repetitive or slow-moving. I put humor in
every book. I prefer to write in the 3rd person. Writing in first
person makes it more difficult for readers to become the characters – they are
reading about someone else’s experiences, like a diary. In 3rd
person narrative, it’s easier to slip into the character’s skin and become that
viewpoint character. Anyway, that’s how it is for me.
What
are some of your writing/publishing goals for this year?
I’m writing a western
historical romance now and I hope to release it in December.
Do you
feel that writing is an ingrained process or just something that flows
naturally for you?
I think people can be taught
to write – up to a point. However, I believe that novelists are born. You still
have to hone your craft, but novelists don’t “look” for book ideas. The ideas
come to us and rattle around in our brains until we either prove to ourselves
that they won’t make a good book or we go ahead and commit them to paper. I
have known people who learned to write adequately, but it was never natural for
them. They struggled and never quite caught on. It’s like being able to sing.
Some people are born with great singing voices – like Barbara Streisand. I can
sing, but I could take every singing lesson from every great voice coach and
I’d never be a singer like Streisand. I’d improve, no doubt. But up to a point.
That doesn’t mean that Streisand hasn’t worked to improve her voice and her
song interpretation. She has and still does. But she was born with a gift.
Where
would you spend one full year, if you could go ANYWhere? What would you do with
this time?
I’d go to Greece and
spend my time writing on the beach and looking through the ruins. I’ll tell you
a secret: I think I had a past life in Greece. I’ve never been there, but I’ve
always been drawn to photos of Greece. I feel this yearning when I look at
photographs taken there, especially on the island of Crete. It’s strange.
Can you
share you next creative project(s)? If yes, can you give a few details?
Just in the past week,
I’ve decided to do a spinoff of The Mind’s Eye. I’m in the early stages of
planning it, but it will feature another psychic. He will have abilities that
are different from what Trudy and Levi do. And he’ll be recruited to work for
the F.B.I. and the C.I.A. in covert operations. Shhhh! Keep this under wraps! (😊 It’s
just between us Book Junkies for now.)
Hey! I’d like to invite you to read the first book in the Mind’s
Eye series, if you haven’t already. Join my Happy Campers Super Cool Readers
Group on my website (www.deborah-camp.com) and I’ll
send you “Through His Eyes” FREE (mobi or epub version, your choice).
