Be TRUE with Joyce Lamb (awesome book giveaway, ahoy!) Back to Blog
Update: The winner of TRUE VISION and TRUE COLORS is…Diane Sadler! Congrats, Diane! And thanks to everyone for the comments!
I love parties. Have I mentioned that a time or twenty today? Thanks so much for coming by to celebrate with me. 🙂
The next author that we are spotlighting at the party is multi-published, romantic suspense (with great paranormal elements!) author Joyce Lamb. Before I talk about the books, I have to share something I read on Joyce’s “About Me” page:
“Besides writing, I love to play tennis and board games and grill out with friends. My guilty pleasures include The Real Housewives of New York, Project Runway and So You Think You Can Dance. I don’t have time to be ashamed.”
I don’t have time to be ashamed. Oh, Joyce, that made me smile–and it may just be my new motto!
Today, Joyce is offering up a copy of TRUE VISION and a copy of TRUE COLORS to a commenter. Very cool. Here are the details for these great books:
And here’s the TRUE VISION blurb:
Newspaper reporter Charlie Trudeau is living an ordinary life, until witnessing a fatal hit-and-run accident gives her an intense psychic power she has no clue how to handle—and brings a Chicago police detective to her doorstep…
Noah Lassiter wants nothing more than to find the driver who killed his good friend. But his only lead is the beautiful Charlie Trudeau, who gets prickly when he starts nosing around town. Charlie’s clearly hiding something, but Noah needs her help unraveling the mystery of his friend’s death—even if the electricity between them complicates things.
But the more Noah and Charlie uncover, the more they realize they’re looking for a desperate killer—and the more danger they’re in. And if Charlie can’t gain control over her psychic powers, they may not survive long enough to explore the full sizzling potential of their desire…
***
And here’s the cover of TRUE COLORS:
Alex Trudeau has everything she ever wanted. She takes pictures for the local paper, she’s rescued a family of mutts, and hot police detective John Logan has finally asked her out. But then a near-death experience unearths an intense psychic ability she never knew she had…
John Logan moved to Lake Avalon, Florida, to escape a lifetime of hardship. When his darkest secret comes to town with revenge in mind, Logan lands the woman of his dreams in a serial killer’s crosshairs…
With their lives on the line and Alex’s hallucinatory flashes dragging her deeper into the twisted mind of a maniac, Logan and Alex face the ultimate test. The tension is electric, but to survive they’ll have to look more than skin-deep—they just might not like everything they find…

I wouldn’t want mind control. You would never know if its the person for your powers that wanted you.
I don’t thin I would want to see into the future.
your books look awesome! thank you for the chance to win. the psychic power that i would never want is the one where you can read peoples minds. can you imagine the headache? or being able to read peoples confessions. what happens if you cant turn it off? i think that would be a horrible power. thank you!
I probably wouldn’t want to be an empath. I think being able to feel others thoughts, pain and other emotions would drain me.
I’m with you, Jane. I don’t think I’d want to be an empath, either. I’d worry other people’s feeling might overwhelm me.
I would never want to read people’s minds. I wouldn’t want to hear the hateful and terrible thoughts going through some people’s heads.
I wouldn’t want to hear those, either! Sometimes, it’s really better not to know what others are really thinking.
I wouldn’t want to be a clairvoyant. It would be difficult to never know what you would see when you touched someone.
Mind control would make my stomach sink. I would never want to willingly control anyone.
I wouldn’t want to be a telepath! Can’t imagine some of the things people think about! shiver!
I don’t think I would like being an Empath. feeling other’s emotions must be very hard, especially if one is feeling pain or anger.
Im not sure what i would pick..But they all could be cool:)
Thanks for the giveaway!!
No to mind control.
I don’t think I would want to see the future! I can’t wait to read more sound so good Thanks for sharing!
I don’t think I’d want to see it either–unless I could change the bad things I saw coming at me!
I wouldn’t want to see into the future. Like the sound of your books, look forward to reading them.
These books sound great.
I wouldn’t want to be an empath.
Hi, Cynthia! Congrats on your Never Cry Wolf release!!! I can’t wait to read it. And thanks for hosting me. I’m at the RWA literacy signing right now but just had to stop by to say hi. Hi!! 🙂
I wouldn’t mind having the kind of empathy that the True Vision heroine has — there are some interesting, um, side effects that she discovers with the hero when they’re, um, naked. 🙂
Cheers!
Joyce
Hi, Joyce! I hope you’re having a blast at the signing!! Thanks for writing such great books. 🙂
I’d never want to hear peoples thoughts. I don’t like noise at all and that would drive me nuts.
I haven’t read your books yet. Are Charlie and Alex sisters? Thank -you.
These LOOK and SOUND like great books. Thank you for introducing me to another new author. I love the romantic suspense genres and these books are another to add to my to-read list.
A psychic power I would not want to have is knowing when and to who death is coming especially when I CAN’T stop it. What a curse.
Glad you came by! 🙂 I love romantic suspense, so I’m always on the lookout for more stories.
I wouldn’t want to be an empath. I am already an “emotional sponge” as it is, so I can’t imagine how painful it would be to have psychic powers and be an empath.
Amy, I have a friend like that! She says that when people are upset, she can feel their emotion draining on her.
I wouldn’t want mind reading, there is just some times i rather not know.
I would love to be telekinetic. Being able to move things with my mind would make cleaning so much easier.
I do not want to be able to read people’s minds. That way no one gets hurt..lol.
Thanks for the blog today because I have added a couple of new authors to read.
I’m torn on this– but I think I could deal with being an empath. I would never want to know the future. I just think it would influence everything we do, and that would take away freewill in a sense. I’d never want that.
I would never want to be able to hear people’s thoughts. I mean to hear all the hateful stuff some people think would be horrible especially if it was about me!
I think seeing the future is something I would never want to have!
I wouldn’t want the ability to read thoughts. I would be afraid that I would abuse the power or I would really hate what the person was thinking.
I wouldn’t want to have the gift of premonition.

I don’t want to be able to read the future. That would be awful because I’d always feel guilty when something bad did come to pass.
i don’t think I’d want to be an empath, feeling others feelings and emotions can get annoying
I wouldn’t want to be able to see into the mind of a killer. That would be very bad I think.
I would not want to be able to read thoughts, IF I couldn’t control it/turn it off. If I could? Maybe a different story.
Don’t enter me in this one since I have all the books signed! I just wanted to say that the series ROCKS!!!
I wouldn’t want to be see the future – I like to be surprised!
I don’t want the power to see the future. I already got these two books but I love romantic suspense with psychics power 🙂
It would be a toss up between mind reading and knowing the future…that would be way too much responsibilty on my shoulders.
I wouldn’t want to be an empath. How would you turn off all that pain others feel?
I wouldn’t like to read minds…. but I would like to have the ability to time travel and I would take the place of all these lucky ladies who are at RWA and are rubbing it in… LOL Just kidding… but I would take their places in a heartbeat
I wouldn’t want to be an empath at all! I have enough issues with my own emotions much less those of someone else…I would like the ability to read minds though:)
I would not want to see into the future, creepy lol
i wouldnt want to read peoples minds im a bit sensitive and would think if i heard hurtful things in there head be sad. and if they were thinking mean thoughts bout someone i would probably say something to them bout how rude there being. and to stop thinking that
I would never want to be able to read minds. I’m a very sensitive person and the complete opposite of my sister. She’s able to let things roll off her back, but I tend to read into things and am always nervous of what people think of me. Being able to hear what is actually on peoples minds would probably give me a complex, for me ignorance is bliss
I would not want the ability to see in the future..I would always want to change it..>LOL
I wouldn’t want to be an empath. I think that could be overwhelming.
These books look great, I love reading physic suspense. I would have to live in a cave if I was an empath…TMI!
I would hate to see the future…..
I don’t think I’d want to be an empath unless you could almost turn it on and off or shield very well.
it’s been said several times already and I agree, empathy would be a heavy burden. I confess I think I’m more emphatic than most people and emotions are a drainer for sure.
It seems like the empaths out there are out of luck. Nobody wants to be able to feel other people’s pain and suffering and neither would I. I’d struggle with that one.
Hey Cynthia and Joyce. These books sound so good. Thanks for introducing me. I would not want to be an empath because I can’t handle my own emotions so there would be no way I could handle everyone else s.
I would not want to hear what others are thinking. I’d probably not be able to contain my anger.
