    About this ebook

    Investigative Medium- the Awakening has mystery, murder, suspense, and a passionately romantic love story set in a time that history forgot.

    This is the story of a completely ordinary wife and mother, who woke up one morning suddenly psychic. Who knew Laine Crosby, former marketing executive at The Weather Channel, had the gift of being an Investigative Medium? Not even Laine, that is, until she moved from Atlanta to the property of an eighteenth century Maryland plantation and woke up talking to a former slave buried in her backyard!

    Investigative Medium - the Awakening, examines the gift that was thrust upon Laine who was at first surprised, and then upset, and over time and through experience, embracing of this new way of life. Laine’s husband, Chris, twins Annie and Caleb, and even her Jack Russell terrier “Steve” have peripheral ghostly involvement, so it is a family affair, although at first an unsettling one.

    Along Laine’s journey, she meets an unlikely friend, the spirit of Jannette, once nanny to the children on the plantation where she lives. Laine becomes Jannette's voice, bringing her back from the antebellum South to tell the incredible story of her life as a slave, and a tender romance is revealed. Interwoven with Laine’s personal story, are the first hand accounts of former slaves Jannette and Bill, and others.

    Laine finds similarities in her own life and Jannette's, and with Jannette's friendship, Laine begins her journey down a path of self discovery. Once Laine accepts her gift, it is her mother who, from beyond the grave, helps Laine find a way to surrender, and at long last give up on the life she dreamed of having, in order to have the life she was meant to live.

    Investigative Medium - the Awakening is first in the Investigative Medium series, a preface to future books about Laine's adventures with law enforcement, historians and archaeologists. It is a fast read and an uplifting and hopeful book for anyone who has lost a loved one. But, put on your seat belts; It's a thriller along the way!

    Laine Crosby

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR Laine Crosby is a mother, wife, sister, daughter, writer, medium, and proud Southerner. As the daughter of Atlanta Civil War Author/Historian, C.P. Crosby, Laine grew up cataloging and cleaning cemeteries while helping her father do genealogical research. She was known to have the uncanny ability to find lost graves whether she was in a cemetery or just had a feeling where to go. As she grew older, she focused on her education and a career in marketing and public relations spanning two decades, until finding herself suddenly psychic. Laine began her professional writing career at the age of sixteen as a student editor for The Purple Cow, an Atlanta monthly, before earning an Economics degree at Agnes Scott College, an MBA from Georgia State University, and then completing additional postgraduate business studies at Georgia Tech, the University of London, and the University of Tours. Her corporate career spanned two decades in the capacity of director/vice president, building businesses, positioning brands, and launching products for major corporations and start-up companies. Laine has also worked as a corporate and freelance writer, developing advertising and public relations campaigns, corporate marketing materials, and writing for business and women’s shelter publications. In 2004, Laine moved to a haunted house on an old Maryland plantation and life has never been the same. Since then, she has worked as an Investigative Medium helping historians, historical organizations, authors, archaeologists, and law enforcement, discover details about history. Laine’s future plans include writing more about her adventures, driving to swim practice, and continuing to scrub tomb stones. Laine lives on the property of an eighteenth century plantation in Derwood, Maryland with her husband Chris, teenage twins Annie and Caleb, and Jack Russell Terrier, Pete. This is her first book.
