A Mind Reader’s Christmas
Eric Beckman Mysteries Book 4
by Al
Macy
Genre: Paranormal Cozy Mystery
Eric Beckman, a mind-reading private investigator, is spending Christmas
in snowy Vermont with his wife and daughter. He needs a break from
solving cases, but the townspeople convince him to look into the
village mystery: Every holiday season, someone switches the baby
Jesus with one of the other figures in the town’s nativity scene.
With the help of his ten-
year-old daughter, also a mind reader, he soon
learns that some of the residents of the small town are not who—or
even what—they seem to be. There’s something supernatural going
on in Newburn, Vermont.
His investigation causes
an escalation of strange happenings, and soon,
swapped manger figures are the least of the town’s worries. If
Beckman can’t adjust his view of the world—force himself to
believe in things he never thought possible—the Christmas vacation
could turn out to be his family’s last.
A Mind Reader’s Christmas
may be read as a

Democracy’s Thief
Eric
Beckman Mysteries Book 3
Private Investigator Eric Beckman hates politics. He doesn’t
even watch the
news—it’s just sensationalized stories crafted to sell
commercials. Why should he care?
But that changes when a friend is shot in the
head during a politically
motivated break-in. Eric starts digging, and using his paranormal
mind-reading skills, he soon discovers that Wilson Kingman, the
presidential candidate behind the burglary, has some supernatural
skills of his own. With one sweep of his mesmerizing gaze, he’s able
to secure the fanatical devotion of the thousands who attend his
rallies–including the very people investigating him.
Worse, Kingman’s true motivations have
nothing to do with leading the free
world. With the clock ticking down toward election day, Beckman must
overcome his aversion to politics and stop the wrong man from being
elected. If he fails, millions will die.
Democracy’s Thief is a standalone
book which may be enjoyed without
reading any of the other books in the series.
Sanity’s Thief
Eric
Beckman Mysteries Book 2
Private detective Eric Beckman can read minds. He’s used to weird cases, but
this one may be his most difficult yet. A beloved relative has
disappeared into a suspicious psychiatric hospital and Eric has no
choice but to go in after her.
Getting in is easy—he knows how to
fake insanity.
Getting out … not so much.
The asylum’s director has some personality issues of his own and is doing
more than just treating patients. Now that Eric is one of them, his
mind may be headed for a fate worse than death.
His only hope for escape is to work together with the other inmates. But
collaborating with schizophrenics has its own challenges, even when
he knows what they’re thinking. Unless he can get word to the
outside, the case could cost him his sanity.
Sanity’s Thief is a standalone book and may be understood and
enjoyed without
reading any of the other books in the series.
Yesterday’s Thief
Eric
Beckman Mysteries Book 1
Private detective Eric Beckman can read minds.
Although he reads only the conscious thoughts of the people he
interviews, it
usually gives him enough of an edge to overcome his inexperience as a
PI. But mind reading is hell on relationships. Trusting comes hard
when you know what people are really thinking.
The case of his life lands in his lap when a
beautiful woman materializes during a televised baseball game. She
floats in midair, then drops to the ground, comatose.
Beckman is at her bedside when she wakes up. From the moment she
opens her
eyes, she has him under her spell. He vows to figure out where—or
when—she came from, even if it kills him.
The stakes increase when she disappears without a trace. Worse, she
holds
the key to a worldwide energy catastrophe. If Beckman can’t find
her and unlock her secrets, economies will collapse, and the world
will spiral down into chaos.

Al Macy writes because he has stories to tell. In school he was the
class clown and always the first volunteer for show and tell. His
teachers would say “Al has a lot of imagination.” Then they’d
roll their eyes.
But he put his storytelling
on the back burner until he retired and wrote
a blog about his efforts to improve his piano sight-reading. That’s
when his love of storytelling burbled up to the surface, along with
quirky words like “burble.”
He had even more fun
writing his second book, Drive,
Ride, Repeat, but was bummed by non-fiction’s need
to stick to “the truth” (yucko). From then on it was fiction all
the way, with a good dose of his science background burbling to the
surface.
Macy’s top priority is
compelling storylines with satisfying plot twists,
but he never neglects character development. No, wait … his top
priority is quirkiness, then compelling storylines, then character
development. No, wait …
