NOVELLAAnnie Graceland’s a midwestern baker with a pinch of psychic ability that’s surviving a divorce while navigating the mean clean streets of L.A. When stressed, Annie’s psychic gift/curse kicks into high gear. She’s empathic, feels other people’s lusts, urges and desires in her own body. Not a problem if that someone’s craving chocolate or Kettle Chips. Definitely a problem if she’s haunted by a pesky ghost to solve their murder.Annie’s friends push her to re-enter the dating world and buy some new clothes. She encounters the most obnoxious department store clerk: Edith Flowers. When Edith’s murdered and doesn’t pass to the Afterlife, Annie agrees to investigate and find her killer. She infiltrates the crew of suspects at Snotsky’s Department Store. Was it the new manager? the archrival in Cocktail attire? the bra fitter? Will Annie solve the murder and find anything new to wear that she can afford?
