Deanna Oscar Paranormal Mystery Book 2 Deanna Oscar and friends are back again--having survived Hurricane Katrina, what could go wrong now? A murder, a visit from her family, and a fake psychic trying to manipulate the vulnerable citizens of New Orleans, to name a few. Add a nosy reporter who pits De against the imposter to solve the murder and De's life is as crazy as ever. She does her best to avoid publicity while trying to solve the murder and keep her family out of danger. The family wants her back in Chicago where it's safe. De is determined to set down roots in the Big Easy. Boring and average just isn't her style! Note: This book was originally published as I'm Okay, You're A Fake. It has been revised.

Whether it was a time warp or just a time jump, Deanna Oscar spent years in Chicago with her brother while he fought cancer and ultimately lost. But even as a ghost, he's not making things easier on his sister. He's refusing to cross over. De heads back to New Orleans to resume her work but her brother fails to show up in Heaven and Gran is in a tizzy. Also De's friend, Ivy, committed our favorite medium to do a ghost hunt with one of those annoying TV shows. De wanted things to go back to normal-deal with supernatural problems and catch a murderer or two. But the location for the ghost hunt is very much haunted and she can't say no when a man sits in jail for a murder he denies he committed while working at a bar that oozes evil. Deanna juggles angels, demons, and Death himself plus a puppy! She'll probably solve the mystery, hopefully save her brother, and maybe even find a date to her ex-boyfriend's wedding in time.

Everyone deserves a vacation! Unfortunately, bad guys and ghouls never rest... With a string of paranormally gifted cheaters out to foil a charity ball put on by her brother's casino, Deanna Oscar isn't getting a break. The group of criminals could bring down the entire casino chain if De doesn't catch the ringleader first. Deanna is only slightly less worried about her boyfriend meeting her brother. Ivy and Brody are out to party and things get a little out of hand-or maybe it's whatever is haunting their room?
