Pre-Existing Condition - A Novel
Wicca apprentice Molly Mae Hawkins practices extrasensory perception to make relevant associations from objects through sensory contact. In the process of trying to discern the unknown history of three objects, she becomes terrorized. She has met Jake Reed, a dishonorably discharged marine who keeps his history a secret and becomes sexually captivated by the rocker chic look-alike. Molly wants to help him get a job but betraying her gifted intuition, she is aroused by the bad boy and projects conflicting messages. Her ambivalence prompts her to seek advice from Luisa Dawson, a Puerto Rican shaman who conducts ceremonies known as veladas where participants ingest psilocybin mushrooms as a sacrament to open gates of the mind. During an all-night vigil Molly discovers the buried horrors of her past life - terrors that show a shocking link between her and Jake in their former lives.
