Sacred Fall
SACRED FALL is a fast-paced, breathtakingly intelligent woman's novel in the guise of a mystery. It springs from the fertile imagination of world-class professional psychic and authority on dream interpretation, Alice Anne Parker. Her heroine, Anna Seavey, is articulate, funny, and disarmingly frank. She is, like her creator, a professional psychic. The voice is unique and refreshing, one that you'd follow anywhere. This is important, because the journey she navigates through the bizarre events of the story includes powerfully sexual dream sequences, terrifying rides through the psychic garbage of the astral plane, and life-and-death battles with souls at stake, in addition to your average, run-of-the-mill psychic phenomena. Here, at the other end of the spectrum, we experience through Anna how it feels to prepare for a psychic reading; how it feels to "see" clairvoyantly; the nuts and bolts of a psychic "scan." The story is set against the lush tropical backdrop of deep country Oahu--Sacred Falls is one of the most dramatic locations in Hawaii. It is beautifully described. The Hawaiian love and concern for the spirituality of the aina--land--is palpable. Many worlds are revealed in SACRED FALL--the Hollywood politics of the film crew overtaken by tragedy while shooting on-location near the Falls; the atmosphere and protocols inside the highest-security area of Halawa Prison, where Anna interprets dreams for the worst-case inmates; the nuanced dailiness of "locals," including wonderful pidgin dialect; the inner workings of one of the most evil cults known to man; and, of course, the world of the paranormal, through Anna's eyes. All of these worlds deftly intersect as Alice Anne Parker weaves her story together and brings it to an astonishing climax. The denoument leaves the way open for the sequel, which is already underway. Alice Anne envisions a series set in Hawaii, with Anna Seavey leading the way.
