BLURB:
Pedro’s
on a mission. But not your everyday, run-of-the-mill type mission.
Because Pedro is dead.
That’s right. Dead.
Spirit guide Pedro normally busies himself with conveying messages from departed loved ones through a psychic named Gwen. But when he encounters a recently deceased teenager, the boy’s anguish just about breaks Pedro’s heart. So the spirit guide decides to try and help this boy. Yet meddling in the affairs of the living is a troublesome business, as Pedro soon discovers.
Nevertheless, he convinces Gwen to take an ocean voyage, and that’s when the trouble begins. Within days of leaving port, two passengers on the cruise ship fall into a mysterious coma. Gwen seeks Pedro’s help to restore these passengers, but natural as well as unnatural obstacles keep getting in the way. And by the time the ship docks in Honolulu, the still-living are flat out scrambling for their lives!
A playful blend of science fiction and the paranormal, The Color of Clouds offers a glimpse into the unseen world while taking the reader on an extraordinary ride. The adventure includes danger, mystery, humor, sweet romance and even a dash of thriller.
But the clouds are not what you think.

Excerpt:
There
was an element of danger in these dives, especially because of the
predatory sharks in the area. Yet it was unlikely a shark would
attack the divers. Tiger and Galapagos sharks were the most
aggressive, but even they preferred fish, turtles, and seals to
humans. So although he felt pretty confident, Drew still kept one eye
on Carly.
But as
the six divers began their survey, a strange light lit up one end of
the reef, diffusing illumination as if a floodlight were shining upon
it. This light was also inching closer and closer to the divers. When
it was near enough to touch, Drew stuck his arm into the light and
instantly the arm disappeared inside it. Frightened, he quickly
withdrew his limb. Yet now the arm felt dead as it dangled at his
side, refusing to respond to commands.
Carly
was too busy taking measurements to notice. But the light kept
moving. And before Drew could act, it fully engulfed his wife. She
instantly collapsed, dropped from the reef and started to drift into
deeper water. He charged after her, kicking harder than he knew he
could. But with dogged determination and a single full-functioning
arm, he managed to bring Carly’s limp body to the water’s
surface.
Drew was
now in a full-blown panic. Reaching the boat, he shouted for help;
the others quickly pulled Carly on board.
“What
happened?” asked one of the crewmen.
“I...I
don’t know. Some mysterious light...” Drew coughed and gulped
some air. “It passed over her, and she...” He shook his head in
disbelief.
“Still
breathing,” noted another crewman as he removed her mouthpiece from
around her neck and pulled off her oxygen tank.
When
Drew lifted Carly’s mask with his good hand, he was stunned to see
her blank-looking eyes staring wide open at him.

A nice little read that you can settle in for the night with. A little out of my comfort zone, which makes it even better. The plot of the story and the characters were pretty amazing and kept me interested in the book. I actually finished the book quicker then I had thought I would. Nice little twist on the paranormal side of things. A book everyone will enjoy!

Bio and Links:
J.C.
Whyte discovered her love for writing while still in elementary
school, creating children’s stories. But as an adult, J.C. had to
face the harsh reality that such writing seldom pays the bills. So
she earned degrees in both Journalism and Communications, and then
turned to Public Relations, where for ten years she focused her
creative energies into feature writing.
After
marriage, kids, several more degrees and occupations (including
stints as a travel agent and paralegal), J. C. entered law school.
While there, she became a columnist for the school newsletter and
later, one of her humorous articles was even published in The
National Jurist.
Graduating
and passing the Bar, J.C. realized within a few short years that
creative writing was still what made her heart sing. So now, as a
grandma, she has returned to where her life’s calling began,
beginning in 2013 with publication of her children’s book Karmack
and now in 2015 with her first novel for adults, The
Color of Clouds.
