Sex has been a mainstay of the psychic business since Victorian days.  Half the appeal of  early table-rapping had been the filmy-draperies-and-nothing-else-clad female "spirits" who drifted tantalizingly among the male séance goers, fogging up their spectacles and preventing them from thinking clearly.

  3. I've never read a book that describes it quite like that, so amusing. Kaye—the road goes ever ever on

  5. Here is my teaser from Expiation by Greg Messel (page 1):

    My sudden and unexpected return to Seattle was about to trigger a chain of events which completely change my life. Three months from this date my career, my life in San Francisco with my daughter and everything I had known before would be radically altered.
