'Half-caste is what the bullies call her, like she isn’t complete, but the taunts are the least of Velvet Brown’s problems. A disloyal friend, a long distance romance which is no longer working, a crazy colt that has to be ridden and a hidden threat which is slowly being revealed, pose far greater challenges. Velvet must quickly fine tune her abilities to save herself, and the ones she loves, from death or worse. ' (Publication abstract)

1 y separately published work icon The Journey of Velvet Brown Myra King , Port Adelaide : Ginninderra Press , 2015 8942573 2015 single work novel fantasy crime

'Being bullied for the colour of her skin is the least of fourteen-year-old Velvet Brown’s problems. Velvet was born with a terrifying second sight. She ‘sees’ the crazies, the psychopaths, those monsters sliding among us, hidden behind normal-looking faces.

There’s a double murder in her small-minded town and Velvet has seen the ‘monsters’ – the murderers. But she can’t download on her best friend, Kaleen Pingelly, or even go to the police. No one will believe her. And when love spins into her life in the shape of a sixteen-year-old racing cyclist, a guy so hot he makes Lycra look cool, Velvet's problems rise to yet another level.

'To save herself and Kaleen from danger, Velvet must find evidence enough to prove to others what only she can see.'
