Character Compendium
Cora Brimble is a sharp, empathetic investigator with a quiet strength and a talent for sensing emotions, drawn into a new mystery when a plea for help interrupts her long-overdue vacation, stirring her deep sense of justice and love of puzzles.
Brian Farris is Cora Brimble’s steady and fiercely loyal partner, a principled business executive with a sharp mind and a protective heart, whose greatest challenge is learning how to support the woman he loves without holding her back.
Ferna Robertson is Cora Brimble’s loving and intuitive aunt—a warmhearted gossip with a flair for fancy clothes, a deep well of maternal instincts, and a knack for knowing more than she lets on.
Jane Spencer is a sharp, no-nonsense Reader with a stubborn streak and a fierce devotion to her late sister, whose blunt honesty and refusal to back down draw Cora into a tangled search for truth beneath Lunar City’s polished surface.
Linus Rowley, a guarded and quietly grieving young man with a troubled past, gradually opens up to Cora as their investigation deepens—driven by buried guilt and the hope of finally starting over.
Porter Upton, a bright and charming young tech entrepreneur with a self-made streak, prides himself on loyalty and empathy—but as Cora digs deeper into the case, his easy confidence starts to crack.
Psychic Glossary
Curious about the psychic abilities in my stories? Here’s a quick guide to help you keep track of who’s who—and what they can do.
Askovians
Askovians are people born with psychic abilities, also known as para-sensory skills. A couple of generations ago, something started changing in humans—maybe evolution, maybe something in the water (no one’s quite sure). About ten percent of the population developed special abilities, and that group became known as Askovians.
Askov Family
These are the family members of Askovians. Most don’t have active abilities themselves, but many carry the traits and can pass them on to their kids. Think of them as latent carriers of psychic potential.
Feelers
Feelers can sense and experience other people’s emotions—sometimes deeply, sometimes painfully. (Cora, from The Feeler, is one.) Because of how intense this can be, most Feelers have to learn how to “shield” their minds to avoid getting overwhelmed, especially in crowded or emotional spaces.
Readers
Readers are telepathic—they can hear other people’s thoughts. While that might sound cool, it’s not always easy. Like Feelers, Readers can get overloaded in crowds and need to train themselves to block out the mental noise around them.
Movers
Movers have telekinetic abilities—they can move things with their minds. Small stuff? No problem. But if they want to shift something big, they’ll need to do some serious mental prep first. Most Movers have to meditate and really focus before taking on anything heavy.
Viewers
Viewers can see things most people can’t—whether it’s super far away or incredibly tiny. Light doesn’t matter to them; if it’s there, they can spot it. The only catch? They’re not always sure where the object actually is. It might be right next door… or on Mars.
Seers
Seers get unexpected flashes of the future—or glimpses into the past. Sounds amazing, right? The only problem is, they have zero control over when these visions happen or what they’ll see. Because of that, a lot of people don’t even believe their ability is real.
Originals
A term used to describe humans who have no ties to an Askov family and possess no special mental abilities. They are often perceived differently by Askovs and Askovians, sometimes facing discrimination or being considered “ordinary.”
