Megan's Thirteenth by Owen Jones

A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Crazy Mother!

Megan the psychic teenager becomes a teenager and grows up a little more!

Megan's thirteenth

The Psychic Megan Series consists of twenty-four novelettes about a young girl's growing realisation that she is able to do things that none of her family can. Megan is twelve years old in the first volume. She has two seemingly insurmountable problems. Her mother is frightened of her daughter's latent abilities and not only will not help her but actively discourages her; and she can’t find a teacher to help her develop her supernatural, psychic powers. For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities. Megan is a good girl, so it would seem obvious that she would tend towards using her powers for good, but it is not always easy to do the right thing even if you know what that is.

These stories about Megan will appeal to anyone who has an interest in psychic powers, the supernatural and the paranormal and is between the ages of ten and a hundred years old.

In Megan’s Thirteenth, Megan’s parents offer to hire a marquee, and throw two parties for Megan’s birthday on the village green: one for the oldies, the family, and one for her school friends. Megan is very excited at the prospect, but is completely bowled over when she meets the famous local DJ, Jack Hammer, and receives a birthday kiss from a handsome stranger.

Sales info:

This is part of a 24-part series which sells well.

The original intention was to write.sell one volume a month, but I think many buyers purchase individual copies out of order.

If I could work out how to serialise this series properly it would be much, much better.

Any ideas?


Sample text:

1 MAM’S SURPRISE

Megan’s mother, Suzanne, had been a different woman since the last time she had locked Megan in the coal cellar six months ago. She knew that Megan could still tell her father about it at any time, but as time receded from that awful day, it was becoming less and less likely that she would do so. Megan had let her off the hook and she knew that she owed her something for that. Megan had also more or less stopped talking about her supernatural, psychic powers too, at least in front of her mother.

From Megan's point of view, she finally had her mother as an ally again, as she always should have been, in their unspoken mother-daughter pact. Megan had been aware that, in the beginning, her mother had been worried that she would use the incident to blackmail her for favours. She knew that that was what her own mother was thinking about her and it hurt her. However, when it didn't happen, she had begun to warm to her young daughter again.

Slowly at first, but with gradual, definite progress all the same.

Both Megan and her mother were well aware of this ‘Entente Cordiale’, but it was Megan who fostered it rather than her mother. Megan thought that she was behaving particularly filial.
