Among the literary genres frequently published by Edmonton’s NeWest Press is that of the mystery thriller; such as the Detective Lane Mysteries by Garry Ryan or the murder mysteries of Roy Innes. Giving us a bit of a twist on the whodunit novel, NeWest has published the second novel in a supernatural mystery trilogy by Edmonton writer Gayleen Froese. Grayling Cross centres again on the unlikely super-sleuth duo of petite P-R expert Collie Kostyna and her plus-sized psychic pal Anna Gareau. Book one of the trilogy, Touch, featured Collie and Anna caught up in murder and mayhem in Victoria. In Grayling Cross, Collie and Anna are back but have fled to Edmonton, where murder and supernatural mystery still manage to find them in the form of a secret society of magicians.
Froese, who also is a singer-songwriter and recording artist, spoke to me recently about her invented detectives and shared her thoughts on whether psychic powers indeed exist. You can hear our interview by clicking on the Title of this Blog Entry. The interview concludes with a brief sampling of the song Threads, written and performed by Gayleen Froese.
The official launch for Grayling Cross will be held Tuesday, April 5th at the ARTery in Edmonton.
