Series by talented Elizabeth Delisi.

Kathleen Rowland, interviewer:
Tell us how you two met.
Lottie: We
met when I was moving to Cheyenne, ND and nearly got arrested by Harlan.
Harlan:
<protesting> I didn’t arrest you! I just pulled you over for speeding.
Lottie:
Well, you *could* have arrested me, if you hadn’t gotten another call.
<sticks out tongue>
Harlan: I
knew from the start you’d be trouble. Believe me, the last thing I want to do
is arrest you.
Lottie:
<smiles> You’re so sweet.
Kathleen Rowland, interviewer:
So Lottie, tell us a little about how you solve crimes using your tarot cards.
Lottie: I’m
psychic, and my tarot cards are the most common way I uncover information that
can be used to solve—
Harlan:
*You* don’t solve crimes. *I* do. It’s my job.
Lottie: I
know, honey. <pats his hand> I just help. <whispers to interviewer>
But he couldn’t do it without me.
Kathleen Rowland, interviewer:
What other psychic abilities do you have?
Lottie:
Sometimes I get visions. When one appears, I just have to go with it. They can
be helpful, but they don’t come on command.
Harlan: They
usually come during dinner. <grins>
Lottie:
<ignores him> The visions can be hard to interpret, as are the tarot
cards. But eventually the truth reveals itself.
Kathleen Rowland, interviewer:
Do you have a favorite tarot deck?
Lottie:
Actually, I do. A friend created a special deck for me, and it’s the one I
always use. My friend calls it the Lottie Baldwin tarot. I just call it mine.
Kathleen Rowland, interviewer:
To change the topic, I understand you two are engaged.
Lottie: Yes!
My sweet man proposed to me on Christmas Day. We’re planning the wedding now.
Well, *I’m* planning the wedding.
Harlan:
Lottie, you know I’m doing all I can. But the Sheriff’s Department has been
busy with—
Lottie: Yes,
I know. You’re doing all you can. <winks at interviewer>
Kathleen Rowland, interviewer:
Any plans for the future?
Lottie:
Beyond the wedding? No. I’m concentrating on getting Harlan down the aisle.
Sometimes you can over-plan these things.
Harlan:
Baby, you know I’ll be there—
Lottie: And
leave your pager at home?
Harlan:
<groans> Okay. Yes. Pager at home. Satisfied?
Lottie:
<smiles sweetly> Yes, honey. One hundred percent!
