Kacie Ramsey’s Interview of Logan Finley<\/b><\/p>\n

Hi! My name is Kacie Ramsey. Kimber Leigh told my story in <\/span>Tortured Souls<\/i><\/span>. Since I was kind of the star in that book, I’d like to introduce you to my boyfriend, Logan Finley. He’s my rock in <\/span>Tortured Souls<\/i><\/span> and in life (lately anyway). As I become more involved with the Orion Circle, he keeps me from becoming completely lost. He’s also responsible for my training. See, the Orion Circle is more than just ghost hunts. I’m learning Tae Kwon Do on a rather intense schedule\u2014one year to black belt. Crazy, huh! Weapons training is also a must. Wooden stakes are so 1700s. I chose silver daggers. They work on vampires and werewolves. Yep the myths are true, werewolves are weak against silver. With vampires, destroy the heart and they’re toast. A sharp dagger works better than a wooden stake\u2014though I’ve only practiced on a dummy.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: Thanks for agreeing to the interview, Logan.<\/span><\/p>\n

L: Anything for you, Kacie.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: You’re a physical medium like me. Tell our audience what that is, exactly?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: On the most basic level, I can see, hear, and communicate with ghosts.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: What do the ghosts look like?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: Well that depends on how powerful the spirit is, and how they wish to be perceived. The newly dead tend to appear in their death state, as a translucent image. I think it takes a while for a ghost to realize that they’re capable of changing their appearance. Residual spirit energy normally appears as wispy, silver images. Every once in a while I come across a spirit powerful enough to manifest so thoroughly that they appear human.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: How old were you when you saw your first ghost?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: I don’t remember, but my mom said I was babbling at the spirits when I was still a baby.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: Your mom and dad are both clairvoyant as well. What are their abilities?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: My mom is a sensitive, which means she can feel energy and emotions around her. Even if she can’t see a spirit, she can feel its presence through the energy. She’s also a Wiccan high-priestess descended from a long line of witches. Mom has a natural affinity with plants. They speak to her, and she instinctively knows how to mix the most amazing potions. My dad is a physical medium and prolific author.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: You have another psychic ability you tend to keep a secret. Will you share?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: As you know, I’m nowhere near as strong a physical medium as you are, Kacie. I believe it’s because I possess a second ability that pulls on my energy. I have little control over this ability, which I find infinitely annoying.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I think it’s really cool!<\/span><\/p>\n

L: Fine\u2026 I’m a diviner. I have visions of the future, sometimes just by brushing up against someone. I never know when it’s going to happen. Not to mention, the visions aren’t always clear. Remember when I had that one about you when we were at The King’s Ransom Inn. I knew you were in trouble but had no clue why or how to help. I hate feeling helpless.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: You have an awesome car\u2014 a Mustang Shelby GT500 that sports an equally impressive price sticker. Tell us how you managed to snag that car.<\/span><\/p>\n

L: I tell fortunes\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

K: What was that? I couldn’t hear you.<\/span><\/p>\n

L: I read Tarot cards for the rich and famous. My client list is secret, so don’t bother asking.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: Are your predictions accurate?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: Yes\u2026 almost always. I seem to be skilled at channeling my divining ability through Tarot cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: Will you do a reading for me?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: What, now??<\/span><\/p>\n

K: Yep.<\/span><\/p>\n

L: Fine. But with your ability to attract trouble, I don’t know if this is a good idea. Do you have a deck\u2026 of course you do. Okay, normally I use a Celtic Cross layout, but I want to make this quick, so we’ll use the 3-2-1 spread. I’m going to shuffle these nine times, then you’ll pick six.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: Okay, now what?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: The three cards at the top set the scene, where you are now. So this is all normal\u2026 you’re content with the present, but feeling anxious about the future. There is also a hint of indecision.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: So that’s good?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: Does it sound like you right now?<\/span><\/p>\n

K: It sounds like everyone at our high school, Logan.<\/span><\/p>\n

L: Hmm. These next two cards represent the near future\u2014where you’re heading. This isn’t as good. I see strife and hard work. Looks like we’ll snag a case soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: Par for the course. Next?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: This last card is the projected outcome of the middle two cards. And this is\u2026 fine. The Tower card is perfectly fine.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: You don’t look like you think it’s perfectly fine. What’s wrong Logan?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: You’re going to start practicing your daggers an extra two days per week.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: But that’ll make it five days a week! When will I find the time?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: You’re also going to start training with Blake using regular steel daggers.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: Logan, what did you see? You’re scaring me! Why Blake?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: He’s a werewolf, and you need to learn to fight one. You need to get used to the speed\u2026 they move pretty fast in human form too.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: Calm down! This Tarot card thing was a bad idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

L: No it was a very good idea. I should’ve known with the fourth anniversary coming up.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: Fourth anniversary of what? Logan, where are you going?<\/span><\/p>\n

L: To talk to Blake and set up your training.<\/span><\/p>\n

K: Logan it’s just a Tower on the card. How bad could that be? Logan? It isn’t even upside down. I thought upside down was bad\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, ah, thanks for joining me for the interview of Logan Finley. I guess it’s over now since he just ran from the room. It looks like there’s going to be excitement for the Orion Circle on the horizon. But werewolves\u2026 why did it have to be werewolves?<\/span><\/p>\n

Kacie Ramsey sees ghosts\u2014and it’s ruining her life. Her mother left, her father blames her, and no matter how hard she tries, she can’t keep the ghosts away. Now a new power has emerged. Nightly visions of grisly murders and a relentless predator draw her to the brink of insanity.<\/p>\n

When the phantom appears at a party, Kacie’s longtime crush, Logan, saves her. He invites her to join the Orion Circle, a group of supernatural hunters with chapters in schools all over the country. Through the Circle, Kacie learns to embrace her spiritual powers, and for the first time in her life she feels in control rather than a victim.<\/p>\n

But the Foxblood Demon will not give up so easily. A demented serial killer in life who trapped the souls of the thirteen children he murdered, imprisoning them within the walls of his mansion. Now in death, he plots his return while drawing power from the pure souls of the children. He recognizes something in Kacie he’s never seen before\u2014a medium powerful enough to provide a vessel for his tainted soul.<\/p>\n

Kacie can’t ignore the tortured souls of the children crying out to her every night. With Logan at her side, she will fight the Foxblood Demon. But can they banish this powerful phantom, or will Kacie lose not only her body, but her eternal soul to the monster.<\/p>\n
