Marilyn Messik Books in Order

Growing up in northwest London, Stella gradually realizes that her perceptions and telepathic abilities differ from everyone else's. Her protective family cannot prevent her from becoming involved in a dangerous situation involving medical experimentation and unexpected demands on her powers.

As the sixties give way to the seventies, Stella wants an ordinary working life despite her extraordinary abilities. Telepathy, strong opinions, and an inability to leave other people's troubles alone repeatedly draw her into uncomfortable and dangerous situations.

Messik presents a practical approach to business copywriting built around clear communication and personal judgment. Topics include shaping messages, marketing claims, memorable copy lines, and public speaking, with suggestions intended to help business owners develop their own voice.

When her illusionist parents separate, Sandra takes her depressed mother to relatives she never knew existed. Their failing hotel and peculiar behavior make escape appealing, but a possessed chef, a dead housemaid, and a documentary complicate matters.

Telepathic Stella is married, expecting a baby, and running a successful business, so avoiding danger has become a priority. She hopes to settle a few remaining problems and leave risky adventures behind, but her unusual abilities still complicate life.
