About Me


WITCH BALL won the 2007 YALSA QUICK PICK!!WITCH BALL is the third book in THE SEER series: WITCHY WARNINGS!Sabine Rose is finally starting to fit in at her new school. But she's convinced that unless she keeps hiding the fact that she's psychic, she could go from popular to pariah in a heartbeat.So when Sabine volunteers to help run the fortune-telling booth at the school fundraising carnival, it's all fun and games. Or it's supposed to be, until she discovers that her fake crystal ball has mysteriously disappeared. In its place is the strangely hypnotic "witch ball."Now the haunted witch ball's frightening predictions are coming true, and Sabine must figure out what's going .. its final prediction -- her own sudden death -- becomes a deadly reality. ..

My Interests

WRITING SERIES BOOKS. COLLECTING SERIES BOOKS. READING ALL KINDS OF BOOKS.I write obsessively, dreaming all the time about characters and plots I can't wait to create. Mysteries intrigue me, so most of my books are mysteries. My most popular series is THE SEER, about 16-year-old psychic SABINE ROSE, who keeps her visions a secret until dangerous things start to happen. The first book is called DON'T DIE DRAGONFLY.Things aside from writing that I love most are cats, chocolate, taking walks, trees, collecting girl-series books and surfing online for interesting info. I have a website with more information than anyone would want to know at www.LindaJoySingleton.comAlso I write most often in my other blog at www.LiveJournal.com/users/LindaJSingleton
