Spirit Vision 3: The Power of Mortals
by Morgan Straughan Comnick
Genre: Paranormal Romance
"You are the beacon of the Lord’s two
worlds, but how can you protect them when you have lost your shining light?
When Stary Moon, the Spirit Warrior, awakes on the lunchroom floor of her school, battered and bloodied, she cannot recollect how she came to such a state.
Stary ignores the concerns of her best friends, Chloe, Rin, and Lauren, and continues to go on with her life, but no matter how normal her days and Spirit Warrior duties are, she feels a lingering sorrow like someone is missing from her life. Her friends discover some shocking truths about Stary and realize they’re the only ones who remembers Umbra—Stary’s boyfriend who has mysteriously gone missing. Stary’s universe crashes around her and the fate of the world rests on her shoulders. Her objective is clear, but when she leaves on this mission, there is no turning back, and she will lose one of her worlds—the mortal world of her family and friends, or the spiritual world of her duty and missing someone, for good. Still, Stary has a point to prove to this dark presence that is threatening to consume the planet: there is power from those one least expects, and Stary is prepared to risk everything on this claim."

Book Excerpt:
I felt like I needed reassurance.
I clicked the volume up on our
remote controlled door ringer so I could hear customers if they came in.
I ventured to the back of the massive building, the walls slowly going
from drywall to brick and then hard concrete. It was like I was stepping
through time, the walls welcoming me to the past and yearning to tell me of
their adventures as observers. When I made it to the back room, the vintage
room, I was surrounded with colorful garments from the 1940’s to 1980’s,
organized on racks by categories with my mom’s bright and adorable handmade
signs. This popular section was my mom’s pride and joy, showing off the eras
that helped raise her and inspire her loving, creative soul. Shoppers
found it charming, a rare, hidden gem, and they would get authentic, period pieces
for costume parties.
There was, however, one other reason
this room was a sweet retreat and bitter entrapment.
That is why I was here at this
moment.
Sure enough, I was not disappointed
at the insanity they saw. I saw the flash of fabric at the corner of my vision
despite the fact I had been staring at the floor to mentally brace myself. At
turtle speed, I lifted my head at the entryway to this part of the puzzle
pieced together store that was my mom’s. There, I witnessed three dresses
flying in a whirlwind circle that made me dizzy. A red and white checkered
hoedown dress was ripped off the display wall from a sudden gale, swirling into
the crazy above me, its poor, lacey underskirt frills flapping embarrassingly.
A green 80’s dress and blue bellbottoms joined the fray, this
rainbow trapped in a spin cycle making my stomach clench.
Wait for the wig…
On cue, a rubber, black wig dolled
up in a classy fashion was tossed into the air, the calling card for my so
called troublemaker, one whose mischief needed to be managed.
“Hello Natasha.”
The wig stopped its trampoline
routine, hovering three feet over from the robin-egg hued carpet. The
other wigs in the costume props bin vibrated, their metal clinking like the
rattling of bones. I heard something that sounded like an irritated grunt
and a pouting whine, one that signaled me to continue.
I plastered my calm, nurturing smile
on my face, my voice becoming breathy, patient teacher mode kicking in, “Hi
Natasha, I hope you’re doing good today.” I pointed upward, grinning at
the parade of dresses soaring through the air. “I’m impressed with the
show you did. I know it's lonely today, but in case we get any customers, we
don’t want the clothes to get ruined. Do you think you could put them down for
me, please Natasha?”
There
was a pause, the air heavy with her thoughts and the ectoplasma energy she was
producing. A few long seconds rolled by, neither one of us backing down.
