About the author
G.G. Collins
11books70followersG G Collins loves the southwestern US where many of her stories are located. She can be found hiking through ruins of the ancient ones and enjoying New Mexican cuisine. When not traipsing about, she makes up stories with great friendships, quirky characters and, oh yeah, dead bodies. In real life she shares her time with a man, several neurotic—and psychic—cats and the ongoing struggle to grow a garden.
Inspired by the American southwest, its many cultures and Native American traditions, GG Collins writes two mystery series set in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Whether you enjoy chilling paranormal mysteries/thrillers or cozy cat-inhabited puzzles, Collins delivers. The Rachel Blackstone Paranormals are infused with shamans, power animals and spirits while being grounded in contemporary issues and events. Rachel often finds she becomes part of the stories she reports while trying to avoid becoming the headline. The Taylor Browning Cozies are more time-honored. Taylor, a mystery editor at a book publisher, does a little sleuthing on the side. She finds she can’t edit her way out of real murder.

I was so excited to see G G Collins add another story to the Rachel Blackstone series. It is apparent this author does her homework. I love the way she explains the nine prophecies of the Hopi regarding the end times of life on earth as we know it. Her descriptions of Bandelier National Park took me back to my first visit. It is indeed breathtaking. I stepped into one of the kivas too and felt the energy and tried to imagine what it must have been like to live in those times. Quoting Rachel, "you can feel the magic." Rachel also is beginning to accept her new identity as a medium, although reluctant. I also liked the way this author compared our current corona virus to the day of the festival parade. My favorite part of the book was the description of how each principle character spent what could have been the last day of life, telling each other how they felt about each other, expressing love and friendship.
I have already told many friends a new Rachel Blackstone book is available. I have already read it twice! Exciting, tension filled and a must read for fans of paranormal activity. Great job.

Anasazi Medium is the fourth novel in G.G. Collins’s Rachel Blackstone Paranormal Mysteries series. I haven’t read the previous adventures, but I chose this one because I have had a long fascination with the Anasazi culture and history and because I found the concept of a paranormal mystery intriguing. I wasn’t disappointed. Collins had me from the opening paragraph and kept me captivated through to the very end.
The plot is straightforward, and as it develops, more and more clues are uncovered, and the spiritual, magical encounters multiply. As a reader, you, too, step out of everyday reality almost from the outset. That transition is seamless because Collins makes the paranormal world feel absolutely believable.
Rachel Blackstone and her close friend and co-sleuth, Chloe, face the perils and surprises of the mystical world with confidence and conviction. We follow the two in and out of life-threatening situations with the help of ghosts and spirits. All of this leads Rachel and Chloe back to a less chaotic life in the end. If Rachel and Chloe seem to accept the supernatural without question and welcome her entries into the spirit world, we have to keep in mind that this is the fourth book in the series. They’ve had plenty of time to become confident in dealing with the spirit world.
As advertised, Anasazi Medium is a paranormal mystery, but it becomes a thriller as the plot develops. The tension and excitement build to a fever pitch before the mystery is solved. There is a lot at stake here—the end of the world as we know it. While that may be fantastical, in Anasazi Medium, it’s both believable and enjoyable.
Collins has done her research into Native American culture and values, and it shows. I highly recommend Anasazi Medium. Trust me. You won’t be able to put it down.

Fantastic series!
I started this series out of curiosity. It didn't move very quickly in the first book, but
I hung in there thankfully! Each book was exciting, informative and colorful. If you like all things New Mexico then you need to read this series.
