Product Description
Product Description
Mya finds it hard to believe that she has just died. She clearly remembers being in a lot of pain and a sense of panic going on around her, then nothing but a bright, comforting light and the pain quickly being replaced by a state of calm and tranquillity. But what now? Mya wants to talk to people, find out how her friends and family are, but there s no one around to help - until she suddenly finds herself chatting to Laurel.
Laurel has what she sees as the dubious gift of being able to communicate with spirits, and when Mya bowls in, desperate for some answers, Laurel's life is turned upside down. Her relationship with boyfriend Dan is already in a fragile state, she s unsure about her chosen career, and now there's a bewildered, feisty young spirit getting in the way. As Mya flits around Laurel and Dan's lives, unable to control how and when she appears, unexpected psychic connections are made and the course of true love takes a detour no one could have predicted.

From the Author
Why did I decide to write using a psychic theme?
The answer is simple. When I started writing `seriously' (with the intention of getting published) that was where my spirit guide led me. I am not a psychic and I am not a medium, BUT I come from a family which has a strong psychic trait running through it. From a young age I was also fascinated by horoscopes and the incredible accuracy of some of the most famous astrologers.

From a young age I was also fascinated by horoscopes and the incredible accuracy of some of the most famous astrologers.
This is my first book, which was written shortly after the death of my dear mother. When she died it was a release and she chose to slip away during the early hours of the morning in hospital, when she knew we were all safely at home. That was her choice, there was no way my mother was going to step into the next world with the ones she loved witnessing those last difficult moments. But whilst at home that night I had an experience that left me with no doubt whatsoever that in those final moments she connected with me. It had a life changing effect on me and I decided to sit down and write a journal about all of the psychic connections I had experienced in my life up to that point. I was shocked to realise that it had actually started when I was quite young.
For me it's very much about `seeing is believing' and because it is now a part of my daily life, it is only natural that it should feature in my novels. So when I sat down to write the first thing that came into my head was Mya, only twenty-five years old and suddenly she sees the light ....

Is there life after death? Do you believe? Can a spirit fall in love? I ask these questions so I love to read stories that revolve around the afterlife. Touched By The Light is an engaging story of a young woman recently tossed into the confusing spirit world. Searching for answers, Mya stumbles upon Laurel who can "hear" her. Together they try to bring comfort to Mya's surviving family. During their growing friendship, Mia meets Dan, Laurel's boyfriend. A soothing friendship develops between Mya and Dan. Does it become love? Can it be love? Can these two ever be together? A worthwhile read to find out! Ms Halton caught my attention with this story...and even surprised me!

I wouldn't normally read a romantic novel, but what attracted me to this book was the link between romance and the paranormal. Even so, I half expected to be giving up on this after the first couple of chapters and returning to the kind of stuff that I normally read. How wrong could anyone be.... And how pleasantly surprised I was at how the two subjects blended so well.
I liked the story of how Mya adjusted to being "dead" i.e. from her initial reaction of "where am I and what's happened?" To her relationship with medium, Laurel, and how she became involved in Laurel's failing relationship with boyfriend, Dan, in an effort to get them back on track. However, you will have to buy your own copy to find out if she succeeded! All in all it was quite simply a very enjoyable read.
I was quite surprised at how I got into the plot and was able to relate to the characters, there are also various twists and turns along the way to a wonderful climax.
I shall definitely be keeping an eye out for this author's future work, because if her subsequent efforts are anything like "Touched By The Light" they will be 5 star reads for sure!

As a novice dead person, Mya's spirit is lost and confused until she finds she is able to communicate with Laurel. Although this is a comfort to Mya to find a connection with someone who is still alive back there, her increasing involvement in Laurel's life, and her relationships, takes us through an intriguing and sensitive story. By about page 94 I had decided on the happy ending that I wanted for Mya but could see absolutely no way of it being possible. Which, of course, leads to the totally unexpected twist about which we will not speak.
I must confess that to start with I flinched a little at the switch between characters all written in the first person. But as I read on and got used to the form, I found that Linn had managed to keep it going without confusion as to who was currently 'speaking' and it gave the reader (or me anyway) a sense of intimacy with each character.
Anyone who is not totally sceptical of some form of life after death will have asked themselves questions highlighted by this novel.
