When mobsters frame her aunt, one psychic dives headfirst into a criminal conspiracy.
Mary Catherine, MC for short, inherited her family’s psychic abilities and a knack for trouble. When her fortune-telling aunt is accused of murdering a Russian mobster and refuses to defend herself by revealing what she saw in a card reading, it’s up to MC to divine the truth.
But if MC isn’t careful, she could end up sharing a jail cell with her aunt … or swimming with the fishes.
The Russian and Aunt Sophia is a madcap cozy mystery novella that could only take place in Florida. If you like surreal plots, well-rounded characters, and quirky comedy, then you’ll love Rita Moreau’s psychic whodunit.

What drew you to writing these specific genres?

“These are my favorite genres to read.”

How did you break into the field?

What do you find most rewarding about writing?

What do you find most challenging about writing?

“Producing books as quickly as the market today demands.”

What advice would you give to people wanting to enter the field?

“If you go the indie route just be prepared. Writing the book is just the beginning. You will need to market and sell the books.”

What type of books do you enjoy reading?

“Michael Connelly, Robert Crais, Mary Higgins Clark, Sue Grafton.”

Is there anything else besides writing you think people would find interesting about you?

“I teach group fitness and have taught group fitness since 1991. I teach all types of formats. I really enjoy teaching my SilverSneakers and Zumba.”
