Remember, it’s all about the books!
About Farsighted: Alex Kosmitoras may be blind, but he can still “see” things others can’t. When his unwanted visions of the future begin to suggest that the girl he likes could be in danger, he has no choice but to take on destiny and demand it reconsider. Farsighted is the winner of the 2011 Dragonfly eBook Awards.
Get it on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

I am curious to why Alex is blind? I am sure that this might provide an interesting twist or not???? I’ll have to read to find out. Had a chuckle about the Ms. Teak name.
Ms. Teak is a nice name 😀 very clever
I’ve had this one on my wishlist for since I first saw the cover and read the blurb.
