The Vision

Kitchener writer Linda Blum has produced an amusing story, a screwball mystery of sorts about a young mother named Judy who, intrigued by her own psychic visions, sets out to learn the identity of her mother’s killer – something police have been unable to do after 15 years.

Helping with the sleuthing in a fictional “Kitshener” on the “ Grande River” is a friend, Hope who is more than willing to play detective, especially if it will better her love (sex) life.

A long 515 pages, The Vision is funny, but sometimes the playful humour crosses the line into crude.

M.O.E.

January 24, 2009

Linda Blum of Kitchener has completed and self-published another novel.

It's called M.O.E. (short for Manipulator of Energy) and again features the psychic Judy and her friend, Hope, who in The Vision, Blum's 2008 novel, had many screwball adventures playing detectives in a town playfully called Kitshener.

This time, the two women are scheming to "turn the tables" on Jonathan, a man who has been manipulating women into having sex and now has his eye on Hope.
