Search & Rescue supernatural dramedy. Meet Fia, a psychic with debilitating necrophobia. Corner her and she will cut you. Meet Cam, mentor and snarky Brit, his heritage rooted in the Unseen World. Meet K9 Zackie, Guardian of the Dead, her real name lost in time—so ancient, she used to change the Grim Reaper’s diapers. Lost souls won’t stay lost.
“Soul Search is a good story of thrills and suspense in book 1 of the series. Author Reyna Favis creates a creative world with a believable foundation. Reyna pairs the amazing Zackie, a dog who detects spirits lingering amid the living, with a strong character in Fia, who doesn’t fully comprehend her ability to sense the dead. There are surprises at every turn from both living and dead….”

Writing suspense stories in the single dimension of this world is hard enough.
That is what makes the effort by New Jersey author Reyna Favis remarkable and such fun: Her Zackie stories about a Psychopomp in the form of a Plott hound and her human and ghostly companions take place in two dimensions with spirits and human engaged in crime solving.
Full disclosure: I am a mystery writer (just in one dimension) and a member with Reyna in the Phillipsburg (NJ) writers group. I have heard parts of this story.
In the fourth book in the Zackie series, Soul Seek, American ghost hunter Fia and her entourage are lodged in a manor house in the Scottish Highlands.
A cold draft leaking from the wall sends Fia down a dark passage to find a dead baby and the spirit of a fiddler James MacPherson.
So…. this was SAR training one night. I’m in the white helmet. It looks like we’re diligently practicing splinting an injury, but….
Instructor: Here’s your scenario. The subject fell on rocks and ripped off their knee cap. He can’t walk out. What do you do?
Me: I guess I’d use a SAM splint to stabilize the knee and call for a carry out.
Instructor: Good. Go ahead and do that. How would you mold the splint?
Me: Um, using two splints, I’d—
Instructor: Did you know your dog chewed on your helmet? [Picks at edge of helmet near my ear]
Me: ????
Me: [Feels along edge of helmet] Damn it…

Past and present conspire against a killer’s future
In a rambling manor house nestled in the Scottish Highlands, smart-aleck American medium Fia and Psychopomp Zackie find a secret passageway that leads to a long-forgotten clan crypt. Among the moldering old bones is a baby’s fresh corpse. Nearby, a hanged man from centuries past plays the babe a lullaby on his fiddle, but her spirit will not be soothed.
When a suspicious Detective Inspector fingers Fia’s childhood friend for the baby’s murder, Fia and her cantankerous mentor Cam must find the real killer. But harnessing the otherworldly talents of stubborn and independent spirits proves tricky. Conflict among the earthbound souls and dark secrets among the living threaten to derail the investigation.
As they close in on the killer, how will Fia and Cam avoid unwanted attention from the DI when their ghostly collaborators bring answers but raise unanswerable questions?
The Zackie Stories of Supernatural Suspense will appeal to fans of BBC One Ghosts, history buffs who enjoy reaching back in time, and to anyone who has ever loved a dog.
The fourth novel of the ZACKIE STORIES.

Ascene from the second book in the Zackie Story series, SOUL SCENT…
“Can you tell me about the baby?”
Cam lifted a shoulder and then stared at the bottle in his hands. “Not much to tell, really. It was 1975 and I was working a job in Kings Worthy.” Glancing at me, he elaborated. “That’s in England. It’s a very old place. It was listed in the Domesday Book – you know, the survey taken in 1066?”
The story of how kitten Mojo came into our lives was told in an earlier post. From a scrawny, one-week old, abandoned kitten who needed to be fed by syringe, he has grown into a 14 pound monster who is more dog than cat. As a cat, he has many strange behaviors; as a dog, he leaves much to be desired.
