Beware fair folk bearing gifts

Timing had never been Reg’s strong suit. It seemed like she was always arriving late or on the wrong day, starting a new venture at the worst possible time, or otherwise fouling things up. But her bad timing was nothing compared to that of Orri.

If you are going to take it upon yourself to be a harbinger, you should at least pick the right time to appear, right? But the guy can’t seem to get his facts right and Reg is losing patience.

But one warning will change everything.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you enjoy well-written paranormal cozies with imaginative plots and engaging characters that you love to follow on their various adventures, you have found a perfect series worthy of your time and attention.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this series and cannot imagine how Ms Workman keeps thinking up such adventures, but am glad she does.

Like paranormal mysteries? Psychics, witches, fairies, and more! Award-winning and USA Today Bestselling Author P.D. Workman waves her wand to transport readers to the myth- and magic-filled small town of Black Sands for another paranormal cozy mystery to be solved by Reg Rawlins and her friends. 

A self-professed con artist practicing as a contact to the dead, a drop-dead gorgeous warlock, and a psychic cat—what could go wrong?

Fall under Reg’s spell today.

—Another great work of art by Ms. Workman. I am amazed at the diversity of her writing and how much I really enjoy them all. She can write cozy mystery, YA books that should be read by all, medical thrillers, Zach Goldman series and now a paranormal series. I am so glad to have found this author. I am honored that I get to read them early also.

—This book has all my favourite things: heart, great writing, nearly-flawless editing, something unusual in the air, and a cat. I needed a light read, and this fit the bill perfectly. Recommended.

—This book actually surprised me. I knew that a psychic cat would be entertaining. I just didn’t expect it to be this good. You really do get wrapped up in the people and story. It sounds like a fairly gentle story, but there is a lot of suspense involved. Add a bunch of humor to the mix and you are in for a treat. I love the characters. Wish I had some friends like them. And the cat is so very well done. Acts like a typical cat, but a lot smarter than his human. This is a story that you don’t want to put down.

—Extremely well written as are all of P.D. Workman’s books, the characters well developed. I’m a character reader, I get into the characters. Who and what they are. Why they do the things they do. The things that make a reader get invested into the characters and thereby the book. I look forward to P.D. Workman’s next book.

—P D Workman has done it again; created a cast of characters and a storyline that are captivating and enthralling. Once I started this cozy I didn’t want to put it down (which can be a bad thing when you have a family to take care of…lol). I can’t wait for the other books in this series. I think Reg is going to turn out to be one of my favorite new characters. Pick up your copy as soon as possible.

Author Notes may contain spoilers!

Some years ago, I had a dream about quadruplets who were actually time-travel clones of each other rather than siblings. I jotted down a few point, and this note sat on my Reg Rawlins file for quite some time before I finally found a place to use it. 

 Dream quadruplets time travel

“All those rules don’t apply”

They are not actually identical quadruplets, but time travelers from past and future.
There is actually no paradox, multiple copies of each person can be in the same timeline at once. No rips in the space-time continuum

I had experimented a bit with time travel in Delusions of the Past, and Reg has recently started using her ability to transport herself from one place to another, so it seemed like a good time for her to be challenged with the impossibility of time travel. On my brainstorming for Reg Rawlins book #14, I posed the question to myself: “who can get in if Reg has locked the bolt and is in trouble?” While there are several people/beings who can get past her magical protections, the natural answer seemed to be “a time traveler.” Enter Orri, a harbinger with a warning for Reg about the future—except he keeps getting the timing wrong and telling her about the past instead. 

He frowned and looked around as if trying to figure out why he was there. “Have I been here before?”

“Yes. You showed up during a seance. Gave all my ladies quite a thrill. That time it was a warning about gifts from fairies.”

He rubbed his forehead, frowning. “I’m not very good at this.”

“You’ve done fine,” Reg assured him. “Really. You found me, you gave me the message, what more could you do?”

He shook his head, clearly irritated with himself.

“Every single one of [P.D. Workman’s] books has spoken to me … And I have found strength in the books I’ve read.”

“This is one author I certainly will be looking out for, I can’t recommend her enough.”

“I’ll read anything by P. D. Workman that I can get my hands on.”

“Every book by PD Workman that I’ve read has been a gripping one, however different the genres are, going from lighter mysteries to really dark ones… this is one of my favourite, most dependable authors.”

“P.D. Workman is an incredibly versatile writer. No matter which of her books I read I am drawn into a great story and honestly, I don’t think I’ve followed another author that could go from cozy mystery to YA to a PI series dealing with mental health issues. Really enjoy her books!”

“[P.D. Workman’s] stories are so believable and you can’t help but feel like you know these people. You find yourself crying, laughing and feeling the characters emotions. Now if an author can make you cry and feel every emotion in a story, she is one hell of an author.”

“P. D. Workman, does not shy from probing the deep psychological scars of childhood trauma, mental illness, and addiction. Also characteristic of this author, these extremely sensitive issues are explored with extensive empathy, described with incredible clarity, and portrayed with profound insight.”

“Once again P.D.Workman has created an intense psychological mystery that impacts a wallop of thought induction. The writing is so well developed and draws you into the characters story.”
