Tracy Whitwell, has written 2 books about a fictional medium,
though at the end of the book they say that it is based on truth!

They are quite amusing and possible, I have nothing to compare
her tales to.

Her books are called, "The Accidental Medium" and "Gin Palace",
I checked on Amazon and they sell both.

I gave up on reading books years ago Mike because having ADD plus due the tendency to fall asleep if I'm reading for any length of time, I haven't finished a book in that amount of time. I'm glad you are enjoying her books though. Would you mind giving a synopsis of one of the books?

Certainly OneEyedDiva, below is the "Blurb", on Amazon, from
her first book, which funny.

Tracy Whitwell, comes from the North East of England and the story is written about
that area and London, Tanz, The main character travels between them.

Mike.

The Accidental Medium is the first book in a hilarious series from Tracy Whitwell
featuring Tanz, the accidental medium who, with the help of the dead, is about to
become an unwilling crime-solver.

Tanz is a wine-loving, straight-talking once-successful TV actress from Gateshead, whose
career has shrivelled like an antique walnut. She is still grieving for her friend Frank, who
died in a car crash three years ago, and she has to find a normal job in London to fund her
cocktail habit. When she starts work in a ‘new age’ shop, Tanz suddenly discovers that the
voices she’s hearing in her head are real, not the first signs of madness, and that she can
give people ‘messages’ from beyond the grave. Alarmed, she confronts her little mam and
discovers she is from a long line of psychic mediums. Despite an exciting new avenue of life
opening up to Tanz, darkness isn’t far away and all too soon there’s murder in the air.
 

Thanks for the recs, I'm going to take a look at them. I love finding books that treat paranormal topic realistically....well, without a whole lot of hyperbole anyway.

I've been reading a new (to me anyway) author, Ruth Roper Wylde. She's got several books about paranormal England and I'm enjoying them

Ruth Roper Wylde: books, biography, latest update

Also going hard on Fortean books, the It Happened To Me books kept me busy for a couple of days (couldn't put them down!)

Hi NewlySenior, I remember the Fortean TV series, hosted
by the Reverend Lionel Fanthorpe, there are some bits of the
series to be found on the Internet!

I took the liberty of asking Google and the link below is to
the page of findings, I hope that you enjoy any or all of the
videos etc.

I've never cared much for paranormal stuff except for Marilyn Messik's books. Her "strange" series (Relatively Strange, Even Stranger, and Stranger Still) is really good; I wish she'd come out with another book in the series. She's a UK writer.

I can't believe I forgot to mention another UK writer, Jodi Taylor and her Elizabeth Cage series; really good! (I haven't read any of her other series so don't know about them.)
