Publisher's Note:

The Intuitives was edited by Sybil Carey, a former editor at Harbridge House. She spent her later years as a freelance editor and co-director of the Abbie Greenleaf Library in Franconia, NH. She "went to dance with the stars" on Sunday, December 20, 2015. The Intuitives was her final editing project.

Although she died before she had the opportunity to write a formal editor's review, Sybil spoke often of her love for these authors and for this book in particular. "The writing is so vivid!" she would say. "The characters are so real!" We wish she were still with us--for far more personal reasons than for the review she would have written.

"I love being part of this team. xoxoxoxo," she wrote on October 5, 2014. We've run our fingers over the x's and o's a thousand times since, cherishing each one, wishing they were more than just memories. She is credited for her editing on the very first page of The Intuitives, and she is in the final acknowledgments as well: "Sybil Carey--for being our angel, even when you still walked this earth." The book both begins and ends with her.

We hope readers will love it and believe in it as much as she did.
