Working for the police as a psychic consultant, finding missing people and things, can get a little crazy sometimes. I thought dealing with my Aunt Rita's ghosts, my wacky family, and enjoying my new relationship with hunky Detective Nick Cavanaugh would be my routine for a while...Boy was I wrong! A SERIAL KILLER IS IN TOWN AND HE KNOWS MY NAME! Just when I thought things were getting back to normal...well, normal for me, I start hearing, "The Song." Who knew that old song, my parents play at parties, would be the number one favorite song of a serial killer? My boss, Captain Johnson, is having a fit about the FBI taking over and involving me in the case, when he clearly wants me far away from this killer. The FBI does not seem surprised by my abilities. After all, they brought in three psychics of their own. None of them, however, has been able to catch this killer. The tables are turned when the killer sends a video with photos of me and the rest of the team. The hunted is now the hunter and without a picture of this killer, I have no weapon. The FBI expects me to work miracles; let's hope I can pull one off. --Andromeda Spencer

SKUNKS AND BATS AND NARCOLEPTIC CATS, OH MY! As if being struck by lightning wasn't bad enough. I spent a month in a coma. Of course that was when I was a teenager. It left me with some pretty unusual abilities. For instance, I can find just about anything or anyone. Oh, and I can see ghosts, too! I pick up extra cash working with the local P.D. I'm their go-to girl when they have someone they need to find. Despite all of this, my life is pretty boring - that is until the very hot Detective Nick Cavanaugh came into my life. Boy did we get off on the wrong foot. I was asked to pair up with Detective Cavanaugh to look for three missing children. Did I mention that he doesn't believe in my superpowers? When we discover the children have been kidnapped, the search takes us up into the mountains and old mining towns. With time running out and my abilities going wonky, Cavanaugh is ready to drop me from the case. Pffft! As if that will stop me! -Andromeda Spencer

Just when I think things will finally get back to normal...Stop laughing! I really did think that. Thanks to a large dose of electricity, I'm shocking the crap out of everyone and everything, my cat runs from me, and my friends take bets on who can withstand the shocks when I touch them. To make matters worse, I'm stuck working a booth at a local Ren Fair with the Dungeons and Dragons crowd.But this year, someone is killing off the LARPers-and no magic spell or roll of the dice can bring them back.So here I am, in hundred-degree heat-in a costume that shows a lot more of me than anyone should see-with electricity I can't control running through my body. All that and trying to wrangle in the ghosts of the victims-not my idea of a good time.And when my boyfriend and I are caught in the Dungeon Master's maze, playing a deadly game may be the only way out.

This practical book explains how to achieve great designs and creative cuts by seeing ideas come to life three dimensionally. By manipulating and pinning fabric on the dress form or house model, fashion designers can visualise their ideas and become more confident with their own creative visions. This new book includes advice on how to measure the body, as well as prepare the mannequin and fabric; it explains the draping process in detail with step-by-step instructions and practical tips throughout. It gives advice on working at half scale and provides calico preparation diagrams. Finally, there are chapters which introduce new design elements and/or garment type, and covers dresses, skirts, shirts and blouses. Written by a leading designer, Draping for Fashion Design is an essential guide to this skill (also known as ΓÇÿmoulageΓÇÖ), and explains how the fashion designer can understand their designs more fully, as well as the fabric and the garmentΓÇÖs fit, in order to achieve impressive and sometimes unexpected results.
