Vero Beach’s vibrant local arts and culture scene is taking center stage in a newly released romance novel. Local author and intuitive psychic medium Pam Morley has officially published her latest book, Cardinal Choice, drawing heavy inspiration from the sights and sounds of the Treasure Coast.
While originally working on a memoir detailing her journey as a medium—a profession that has seen her conduct readings for clients across the United States—Morley found herself shifting gears to pen a coastal romance. Though the narrative unfolds in a fictional setting, the author acknowledges that locals will easily recognize the hometown influence.
The story is based in a fictional town – Carmine Beach, Florida. But if you’ve ever been to Vero Beach, Florida where I live, you will notice the similarities.
Cardinal Choice introduces readers to Claire Winters, a psychic medium enjoying a quiet, comfortable life in the coastal Florida town. Her peaceful existence is disrupted by the arrival of Angelo Santoro, an in-house attorney for one of Miami’s most dangerous crime families, who comes to her looking for answers.
According to the book’s release, the story dives deeply into several core themes:
- Navigating love and trust
- Discovering second chances
- Finding the courage it takes to embrace the unknown
For residents looking to support local Treasure Coast talent, Pam Morley’s Cardinal Choice is currently available for purchase on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats. Readers can also preview an excerpt of the novel directly on the author’s official website.
