Guest Post: I Can't Imagine
by Jacqueline Paige
I can’t imagine living the way Felicity has had to, Jacinda either for that matter. When I was growing up we moved around a lot, I averaged two schools a year for most of my childhood so I can relate to moving as much as Felicity has had to. What I couldn’t do is remove myself from the normal things in life. I may have moved around often, but I was still able to have friends and interact with people.
Felicity and Jacinda from the Hidden Senses Trilogy don’t have the rainbow world most of us have—a world we don’t even realize we are privileged to have. They can’t go out into crowds or populated places. What would happen if Jacinda went to a movie theatre? It could debilitate her for days and if Felicity had one of her visions while surrounded by strangers…
There’s the loneliness they must suffer through not being able to have a normal relationship, or even a relationship at all.
While writing this trilogy I had to go to a place in my life where I sat back and looked around noting the things I took for granted. Things like chatting with a friendly stranger while waiting in a line, stopping to smile at a cute baby, holding the door for an elderly person while out shopping. I’m not a great lover of ‘shopping’ in the first place, but to not be able to pop out and go check something out wouldn’t be something I was happy with.
We’ve all had times where we weren’t able to physically something, whether from surgery or injury for a short period of time. I know I have at least and having to adapt my every day routine around that was frustrating and nerve wracking at the same time. Felicity and Jacinda from the Hidden Senses live that every single day of their lives.
My hats off to them for have the strength and courage I don’t have.

Jacqueline Paige
Class Act Books | Amazon
Genre: Paranormal Romantic Suspense
Book Description:
Detective Alec McGowan is dedicated to serving justice and will crush all that stand in her way. Long used to burying her passions after tragedy and heartbreak taught her that loving someone is dangerous, she expresses them the only way she knows how. Passion for her job has landed her on a hit list, and rather than fearing death she is annoyed and more determined to find them before they find her.
Ian MacTavish is a loner and finds it easier to stay that way. The constant barrage of other people’s thoughts is exhausting, and relationships are even more troublesome for someone with his “talent”. Using his skill has brought him considerable financial reward, and allowed him to stay uninvolved and unencumbered. When a night of harmless mind surfing leads him further into a twisted plot of chaos and murder, his appearance at the police station surprises him most of all.

Does she risk everything again?
Book Description:
Jacinda Brown keeps to her safe existence doing investigative research, avoiding people and places with people. To most, it appears she has a normal life; blending completely undetected in her lonely continuation.
She doesn’t investigate people; she can’t get that close. Through her hand she can feel emotions, thoughts. With a touch she can see what has been.
Unfortunately fate tosses her into a situation where her carefully guarded secret and her own conscience are at war when she finds herself working with detectives to find a killer. Jacinda clashes with the very strongly grounded detective, Reid Merritt, destiny has forced her to work with.
At some point he begins to matter, making her decision harder. Will he look at her with abhorrence, like she’s some sort of freak when she’s through?
What will be the price, this time, for the ability she doesn’t want?

About the Author:
Jacqueline Paige lives in Ontario in a small town that’s part of the popular Georgian Triangle area. No one has ever heard of Stayner, so she usually tells people she lives “near Collingwood” and no, she doesn’t ski at Blue Mountain or at all, in fact she’s not even fond of snow.
She began her writing career in 2006 and since her first published works in 2009 she hasn’t stopped. Jacqueline describes her writing as “all things paranormal”, which she has proven is her niche with stories of witches, ghosts, physics and shifters now on the shelves.
When Jacqueline isn’t working at her ‘reality job’ or lost in her writing she spends time with her five children, most of whom are finally able to look after her instead of the other way around. Together they do random road trips, that usually end up with them lost, shopping trips where they push every button in the toy aisle, hiking when there’s enough time to escape and bizarre things like creating new daring recipes in the kitchen. She’s a grandmother to four (so far) and looks forward to corrupting many more in the years to come.
Jacqueline loves to hear from her readers, you can find her at www.jacqpaige.webs.com , www.jacqpaige.blogspot.ca or http://magicseasonsbooks.blogspot.ca
