A.W. Powers

The characters in the world of A.W. Powers come to him in dreams and when he is mowing the lawn. He can’t decide if he should quit mowing or go into business and mow more lawns. The characters want their stories told and have chosen him to be their mouthpiece. He believes his characters have many of the features he desires but is sadly lacking. Even the bad guys. Powers spends his time failing to understand the behaviors of people, but appreciative of what they do, knowing he couldn’t make it up. No one can. But it’s all material. Fortunately, he spends his time writing, not scratching his head and creating a bald spot.

The Psychic Guardian Angel series arrived in a series of nightmares. Powers recognized the literary value of the nightmares, and the therapeutic value of using them in his writing. If there are any extended streaks of low creativity, like writer’s block or too much fun, the nightmares get worse and will even repeat themselves until making their way into a notebook or file for future use and he is back at the keyboard. Sleep can be difficult enough without having characters and plotlines nagging at you, requiring resolution or exorcism.

Lost in Purgatory

Someone is hunting psychics in Minneapolis.

When private investigator Jacob Daniels finds Margaret Allison in a coma after visiting a murdered fortune teller, his psychic abilities tell him this is no ordinary attack. Margaret isn't just unconscious—she's trapped somewhere between life and death, transforming into something even she doesn't understand.

As more psychics fall under a mysterious predator's spell, Daniels discovers the killer doesn't just want them dead. He wants something far more disturbing.

With Margaret sending cryptic messages from her coma and a dead woman's spirit demanding justice, Daniels must unite an unlikely group of psychics before they all become victims of someone who can slip inside their minds and make them fall in love with their own destruction.

How do you catch a killer who can change his very thoughts? How do you protect people when the threat comes from inside their own heads?

Will Daniels find the predator before Margaret's transformation completes—or will her awakening unleash something neither world is prepared for?

Dive into Lost in Purgatory, where death is just the beginning.
