  Could it be from Liam? Or Crixus?

  Letters cut from a newspaper had been pasted in ugly, staggered rows across the heart’s face.

  The resulting message carved an equally ugly scar across the muscle beating in my ribcage.

  Find the gold

  Or you die

  You have five days

  Good luck.

  Don’t miss Dr. Matilda Schmidt in Unlucky—coming March 14, 2014.

  About the Author

  Cynthia St. Aubin wrote her first play at age eight, and made her brothers perform it for the admission price of gum wrappers—a steal, considering she handed them out beforehand. Though her early work debuted to mixed reviews, she never quite gave up on the writing thing, even while earning a mostly useless master’s degree in art history and taking her turn as a cube monkey in the corporate warren. Because the voices in her head kept talking to her, and they discourage drinking at work, she started writing The Case Files of Dr. Matilda Schmidt, Paranormal Psychologist instead. When she’s not standing in front of the fridge eating cheese, she’s hard at work figuring out which mythological, art historical, or paranormal friends to play with next.

  Did Unlovable make you want to do a unicorn prance of joy? Did it make you want to stab puppies in the face?

  I’d love to hear from you!
