The Moribund Moose

Ruth Ostrowski’s midlife crisis hadn’t arrived in the normally prescribed manner. Rather, it snuck up on her incrementally, one negligible tribulation after another; it bushwhacked her with night sweats, sent her caterwauling toward menopause and the outer rim of her twilight years. Now, compounding her inner blight, the first frost, like a silver-haired, uninvited guest, blanketed the earth.If it were possible, would you want to know the exact date, time and way in which you were going to die?Margaret “Meg” Thorne was born with the ability to predict people’s deaths. In the history of her family, the first-born female in each generation always has inherited this power. But it comes with strict rules that cannot be broken, many of which disturb Meg. The most frustrating is she cannot, not under any circumstances, make a prediction unless she specifically is asked for one. And once she does make it, that person’s impending death cannot be prevented…no matter what.Calder York is a best-selling author whose genre is psychic phenomena. He decides Meg might make an interesting subject for his next book and arranges to interview her. Their chemistry is instant, but he fears her...fears what she can reveal to him about himself.
