. . . My Alter Ego . . .Once upon a time ... Lorna Barrett had another name. This person, L.L. Bartlett, wrote a book--Murder On The Mind. In fact, this person, was not only L.L. Bartlett--she was Lorraine Bartlett and she'd written several other (unsold) books.
Liar, delusional, sympathy-seeker, fraud, or fool--all possible descriptions of a man who saw things he could not have possibly seen. Descriptions that Jeff Resnick, a former insurance investigator, is forced to prove untrue before he can get his life back. An act of random violence left Jeff with a fractured skull and a discomforting gift: visions of a local banker found hanging like a bow-kill deer left to bleed out. The visions both haunt Jeff and spur him to prove he hasn’t lost his mind. It takes all Jeff's investigative skills, and the reluctant help of his older half-brother, Dr. Richard Alpert, to expose the killer. Against the gritty setting of wintry Buffalo, NY, and a tormented family history of his own, Jeff pursues a killer, which could cost Richard his life. "A high-powered drama filled with interesting characters that add dimension
to a tightly paced story with a good kick at the end." The second book in the Jeff Resnick mystery series, Dead In Red, is currently available. Sometimes it seems like murder and mayhem follow Jeff Resnick, challenging his psychic “sixth sense” to solve crimes. Since the vicious mugging that changed his life, he’s tried to keep his unwanted gift in check. But when a bartender at his favorite watering hole is murdered, visions of a sparkling red woman’s high-heeled shoe and a pair of bloody hands linger in his mind--and hit too close to home. When Jeff’s older brother, Richard, last helped him with an investigation, it nearly cost him his life. Still, Richard is determined to tag along as Jeff is drawn into the seamy world of fetishes and drag queens to find a murderer before another life is taken. "Bartlett's hero is complicated and mesmerizing, making for a gripping and
energizing mystery." "Bartlett has a deft touch and makes psychic abilities very
real."
You can find L.L. Bartlett's books online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble.com, and other online retailers. Dead In Red can be ordered from independent booksellers, too. Lorraine (and L.L.) hope there are many more books in her future. Feel free to check out her web site. Perhaps you'll give Lorna's alter ego's books a try!
