The Lunatic Magnet

About the Book

When Andy Quinn was a child, his mother told him he used to “talk to the angels.” Now they’re doing more than talking. They’re sending him horrific visions of people who desperately need his help. Andy is struggling to put his life back together after losing the man he loved and nearly dying himself from a brutal assault by a serial killer. He’s returned to UMass Boston to continue working toward a teaching degree. However, the nightmares have begun again, and his sleep has once more become a terrifying place in which he experiences someone else’s violent murder. Worse yet, somebody is stalking Andy, disrupting and even sabotaging his life. Can he live up to the grim burden entrusted to him by the angels? But how can he save others when he may not be able to save himself?

About the Author

This is the second book in the Talking to Angels trilogy. It was written when Shannon Murphy was in a very dark place in her life, and both Andy’s actions and emotions in this installment tend to come out of that time. Shannon truly believes that God has, and does, intervene in people’s lives, but it’s not always a supernatural event. To answer that age-old, painful question: how can there be a God to allow such suffering in the world? God is here. He is present is every single person who reaches out to protect another, no matter what it costs them. God can’t stop suffering for us. He can only do it through us. The final installment of Talking to Angels, Little Boy Lost, is coming soon.
