Second Floor, Front is a lesbian cross-over paranormal, psychic sleuth/cozy mystery. Think Long Island Medium meets Long Lost Family meets Miss Marple. Or perhaps a lesbian version of Rear Window.

In her efforts to make sense of what she has witnessed in the crosswalk below her second-floor window, Marion, recently retired with too much time on her hands, hooks up with Amanda, also retired, known for closing cold cases for the local police using her psychic “gifts,” along with her chutzpah.

Marion joins Amanda on a trip to Maui under the guise of a well-deserved vacation after solving several emotionally grueling cases, only to find Amanda is searching for answers to her own mystery—the disappearance of her younger lover many years ago.

Humor and tragedy vie for attention as they blend their oil-and-water styles.
