Abigail Vertuccio has three goals in life. One. Don't let people find out about her infuriating habit of seeing

the future.  Two. Stop seeing the future.  Three. Get as far away from Fairbanks, Alaska as she can. She thought she'd succeeded when she hopped in her ancient motor home, Big Ellie, and hit the road. Only now she's back - Grandma's orders - to help run the family rural air service, Alaska Virgin Air.

Home only a week, Abbey stumbles onto a plot to destroy the family business. Never one to leave matters to the experts, she and two of her zanier friends orchestrate a counter-attack of stakeouts and spying that has even the Alaska State Troopers rolling in the aisles.

Despite all her efforts, she's batting zero on the spy front. Someone's trying to kill her. As if that isn't enough, things with her ex are alternately heating up and scaring the hell out of her.

At this point, she has only one question. What are the chances she'll end up in someone's bed, married again, or just plain dead? Okay. Two questions.

What the hell good is being clairvoyant if it never seems to work when she really, really wants it to?


RAVES for ALASKA VIRGIN AIR



"In her debut novel, Izzy Ballard has created a heroine who not only is clairvoyant but sassy, sexy, and warmhearted - the kind of best friend we all wish we could have.  Alaska Virgin Air is a comic romp through a northern landscape rich with quirky characters, the adventurous culture of Bush flying, and romantic intrigue. Snappy dialogue, strong characters, and plot surprises make this a compelling read for those who like their mysteries served with humor."
          Sherry Simpson, author of The Accidental Explorer

"Share intrigue, adventure and romance on the last frontier with an engaging set of quirky characters that include our Alaska born, independent-minded heroine, Abigail Vertuccio, her man-magnet mother, her airline-owning-rock-music-roadie grandmother, revenge-seeking British royalty, their spoiled man-child and enough handsome, charming save-the-day bush pilots that add the icing on this easy to devour book.  Alaska Virgin Air is a comic mystery told with wit and assurance . . . that keeps you engaged to the very end."
          Pat Walsh, co-author of Catch and Release

"To anyone who enjoys Janet Evanovich and is fascinated by Alaska, I recommend Alaska Virgin Air by Izzy Ballard."
           Juanita Helms, former Mayor, Fairbanks, Alaska

". . .the Alaskan setting and the snappy dialogue will appeal to readers . . ."
          Library Journal

"Alaska Virgin Air is a fun-filled ride of humor, intrigue and romance.  Readers will enjoy following its clairvoyant heroine, Abigail Vertuccio, as she tries to save the family air taxi business while navigating her way through mysteries that surround her family and friends in the Last Frontier."
          Laurel Bill, author of the Aunt Phil's Trunk Alaska history series
