More About the Author

Jacqueline Vick's short fiction has appeared in many online and print publications including Stories for Children, Orchard Press Mysteries, Cantaraville II, Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine, and Semaphore Magazine. Her short story, "The Membership Drive" is in the new Best of Everyday Fiction Two Anthology available on Amazon, and her novella, "The Groom's Cake", is available as an ebook.

Her main love is mysteries, and "Family Matters", a semifinalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Competition, will be available on Kindle this Fall. See the first chapter at the end of her short story "Special Delivery".

If you purchase "Logical Larry", be sure to download the free Teacher's Guide found on her website.

While researching an article for "Fido Friendly Magazine" (April, 2010) about pet psychics, she came up with the idea of the "Frankie Chandler, Pet Psychic" mysteries. Her humor has been described as screwball, and she thinks sleuths are at their best when surrounded by nutty and unpredictable characters. That's why she loves the "Liturgical Detective" series and why "Death by Sheer Torture" by Robert Barnard will always be one of her favorites.

Jacqueline Vick is known for her sarcastic wit and rapid-fire delivery, especially from the mouths of her hilarious characters. Pekingese Premonition is no exception. You are introduced to Frankie Chandler, a reluctant Pet Psychic, almost like getting hit by a bus. The story takes off and you don't want the trip to end. Fortunately, Vick will have more of these stories for readers to savor.

In this outing, Frankie Chandler gets a mental image of what she assumes is a pending crime from the intended victim's dog, and Frankie can't shake it. She has been basically fooling people for years about her ability to connect with animals...for a fee, but it was mostly a carnival trick. Now the visions are literally knocking her off her feet.

As Frankie digs deeper into the backgrounds of those closest to the potential victim, something is uncovered that changes everything.

A fast and furious fun read.

I am not in the least impressed with this novella (not even for .99). It really made no sense to me at all so I am putting this on my do not read author list.
