MEET ANNIE O’REILLY

Let me introduce you to the main character of my mystery series, the young professional business owner named Annie O'Reilly.  A talented psychologist, Annie began working in several counseling practices during her twenties to gain experience. Then, at the age of thirty, she created a consulting firm named Target Success offering self-development programs.  Annie partnered with her good friend, Lexi, to build the business.  Now, a couple of years later with a new book debuting, they are poised for national success. Annie believes this is her time, her chance to make a mark.

Tall, with a thin athletic build, and flowing long blonde hair, Annie had often been mistaken for an airhead due to her youthful, attractiveness.  That is until her blue eyes flash, and her wicked left eyebrow raises.  Nothing gets past her perceptive stare.

However, she has kept a secret "gift" hidden since a teenager. An incident with her "gift" in high school caused a big social issue because only crazy people hear voices, right?
