About: Sympathetic Resonance

Blurb: Jemison Thorsby is a paranormal debunker. He is renown for exposing fake videos and psychics. But his big secret is that all he really wants to do is find is a real medium, someone who really sees ghosts, just like he does.

I am posting the first drafts of this story here as chapters. When it's done, they will all be collected and edited before publishing the book. You are welcome to join me on this writing journey

Main characters' names are all exit signs on the interstates:

Jemison Thorsby – Show runner, talent, dead people talk to him, whether he likes it or not

Kimberly Morrison – executive producer, intelligent, no nonsense, skeptic, keeps the show running smoothly

Devon Richwood – PA, a bit distracted by, well anything, but loves the work and does a good job, eventually

Corbin Woodbine – investigator, talent, Devon is his sidekick, and Corbin encouraging Devon's creative tangents

Walton Kensington - jazz musician, circa 1890s, life of the party, stylish, maybe a little vain, especially for a ghost

Grace Garland - psychic, does not tolerate foolishness, very direct, but witty and sharp, Jemison suspects there is more to her that the usual charlatans

Sheila Morrison - Kimberly's mother, kind, intelligent, determined, and has a flirty thing going on with Jemison
