Paranormal Mysteries & Unexpected Love

Welcome

Welcome to my world of mystery, memory, and intuition. Here, stories grow from whispers in the dark, from the places where the past brushes against the present, and from the people who refuse to let go of hope.

About Me

I’m Marie Bernadette Gifford — a writer who blends intuition, memory, and the unseen threads that tie people together. My stories are rooted in the places I’ve loved, the mysteries I’ve read, and the characters who refuse to leave me alone until their tales are told.

Why I Write

I write because stories have always been my way of understanding the world. Because characters arrive fully formed, demanding to be heard. Because sometimes the only way to heal is to follow the thread of a mystery until it leads you back to yourself.

What I Write

I write paranormal murder mysteries — stories where intuition matters, where the past refuses to stay buried, and where love and danger walk side by side.

Contents Warning

The stories I write explore intense emotions, dangerous moments, and the darker edges of human experience. They include adult content such as explicit violence, strong language, and detailed sexual situations. The paranormal maybe suggested in most of the stories. Reader discretion is advised.

Featured Story: Killer’s Choice

A Psychic Murder Mystery That Starts It All

Rain Gentile never asked for her psychic abilities — and she certainly never wanted to use them to track a killer. But when a series of brutal murders strikes in several counties in Florida, Rain becomes the only person who can see the truth hidden beneath the violence.

A Detective Who Doesn’t Believe in the Supernatural

FBI Agent Grant Marshall arrives to lead the investigation, grounded in logic, evidence, and procedures. Rain is the last person he expects to rely on — and the only one who can help him stop a murderer who is always one step ahead.

A Partnership Neither Expected

As Rain and Grant are drawn deeper into the case, their connection becomes impossible to ignore. Together, they uncover a truth far darker than either imagined — one that will change both of their lives and set the stage for the entire Psychic Crime Universe.

This page will be updated as new characters are added.

Trixie Belden Fanfiction

The Trixie Belden books were my first doorway into mystery — but the real magic wasn’t in the clues. It lived in the friendships, the family bonds, and the way these young characters worked through problems together, even when feelings were bruised along the way. Trixie’s restless curiosity, Honey’s gentle steadiness, and the loyal circle of brothers and friends created a world that felt safe, bright, and full of heart. The stories I’ve written here are my way of stepping back into that world… only this time, with a touch of the paranormal woven in.

First story to be added soon.
