Cassie Scot: Paranormal Detective
by Christine
Amsden
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

Excerpt
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.
