Sedona author Marv Lincoln releases
new sci-fi novel, 'I Married a Psychic'

Marv Lincoln, Sedona author and photojournalist, has released a new novel, "I Married a Psychic." It is the author's first novel in more than 30 years, and is described as a science-fiction thriller, a metaphysical romance, and a satire on the New Age.

 The first work in a proposed trilogy, the book is subtitled "The Vortex Conspiracy." Set against a backdrop of international intrigue, political corruption and domestic tensions, the story moves from the psychic hotbed of Sedona to the teeming streets of India to the mysterious energies of Glastonbury to the top of a mystical mountain in Tibet.

"I Married a Psychic" is filled with ideas that have never been explored in print, even in the wild world of science fiction. For example: Can the untapped power of the world's energy vortexes be harnessed to produce an electromagnetic pulse strong enough to take down an entire country?

[Spoiler alert]: The novel's ongoing subtext asks the question, If a husband is married to a psychic, and is having a clandestine affair with her best friend…is the wife aware of the illicit goings-on? The answer is revealed in "I Married a Psychic"—plus insights into the secret life of real psychics and how they use their gifts.

In real life, author Lincoln is married to a practicing psychic who still plies her trade in Sedona. Lincoln claims that the book is only loosely based on their life together. "The similarities end when Leela, the heroine of the story, enters a trans-dimensional portal and suddenly has access to ancient wisdom and great psychic powers," he says. "My wife and I, for example, have never teleported or moved objects with our minds. At least not yet."

"I Married a Psychic" is available through the website www.Vortex23.com, at independent bookstores and at Amazon.com. Book signings and readings are also planned at local venues.

Author Lincoln has written on a myriad of subjects during a long career, and has worked as a newspaper reporter, magazine writer-editor, and public relations executive.

The last time he wrote full-length novels was during the Seventies when he lived for years in France. "It was two James Bond-style potboilers that I sold to an agent for $500 each and never saw or heard about again," says the author. "Just enough to keep me in wine and cheese for a year."
