"Beauty is not about looks, makeup or clothes. True beauty comes from being yourself. The more you show who you really are, the prettier you will be."- Xena Kim. Paano kung mainlove ka sa Hater mo? Yung tipong, ‘Ayaw na ayaw niya sa’yo?’ Yung, ‘Makikita ka palang niya eh maba-badtrip na siya?’ Yung, ‘ hindi matatapos ang araw mo nang hindi ka nakakarinig ng insulto galing sakanya?’ Di ba mahirap? At eto pa, “Paano mo ipaparamdam sakanyang ‘Mahal’ mo siya?” Na kahit ‘Ano’ pang ‘Trato’ niya sayo, ‘Andyan’ ka lang para suportahan at mahalin siya? Dahil hindi mo yun pwedeng ipakita sakanya ng harap-harapan. Itatago mo nalang. Bibigyan mo siya ng liham at palihim na sinusuportahan. Nag Tagumpay ka, napaibig mo siya. Napaibig mo siya sa isa mong katauhan na hindi niya kilala... Pero ‘nakahanda’ ka ba? Pano kung malaman niyang... Yung babaeng kinagagalitan niya at yung babaeng minamahal niya ay iisa?

Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.
