From Quiz Being Odd, Part 2

Answer: Magic Beach

Odd, Boo and Frank Sinatra had been in Magic Beach for about a month. Odd had spent the time working for an old actor named Hutch. There he also met Annamarie, a young pregnant woman, who was in danger. He agreed to die for her if need be, and in the meantime had to thwart an extensive terrorist plan to use nuclear weapons on four major US cities. Along the way, Odd was forced to kill at least six people. He also made new friends, including a dog named Murphy (a name which Odd changed to Raphael) and an old lady named Birdie. Whiskey Beach was the setting for the Nora Roberts' novel of the same name, Hogsmeade was the town adjacent to Hogwarts in the "Harry Potter" series, and Liberty City was the setting for the video game "Grand Theft Auto 4".

From Quiz Being Odd

Answer: Bronwen

She liked Stormy better because she felt it sounded less like the name of an Elf than Bronwen. Odd admitted that his real first name was Odd. He explained that he and Stormy were soul mates destined to be together because of two things. One was that a fortune teller's card had said they'd be together forever and the second reason was that they had matching birthmarks. He later found out that her birthmark was actually a tattoo.

From Quiz Being Odd, Part 2

Answer: Gun and cellphone

Birdena "Birdie" Hopkins had developed a psychic twinge of her own after the death of her husband several years earlier. She'd found herself drawn to people who needed her, good people she'd said, and that night it had led her to Odd. She gave him those two crucial items and drove him to the harbor. He'd been chased by a crooked cop and gotten lost. He'd later be taken into custody by that same bad man. After the gun had served its purpose, he tossed it into the ocean, never to be traced back to her. At the end of his journey, he called her to let her know he'd made it out alive. Odd's boss and pal, Hutch, had given him money and a car. His friend Blossom, who'd also housed Annamarie for the night, gave them food and promised to join them on their adventure soon. Hutch also agreed to get rid of Odd's clothes for him.

From Quiz Being Odd

Answer: Terrible Chester

Odd went to visit Little Ozzie in book one after he'd had the crazy time shifting encounter at Fungus Man's house. Ozzie had also experienced some trauma that day by way of someone detonating a bomb at his house. The bomb had destroyed his beloved plastic cow, which Ozzie had preserved for years as a piece of lawn art. While at Ozzie's, Terrible Chester had expressed hostility at the presence of Fungus Man (Robert 'Bob' Robertson) outside. This led Odd to try and chase the weird man down. Odd had also discovered earlier in the day that Bob Robertson had an extensive collection of research on serial killers. He had posters of Charles Manson, Mohammed Atta and Timothy McVeigh inside his house. A bodach is one of the creatures that Odd will see when an impending large tragedy is imminent. Krevlornswath, also known as Lorne or The Host, appeared for four seasons on "Angel" and was played by Andy Hallett.

From Quiz Being Odd, Part 2

Answer: Harry Lime

In the case of the very corrupt sociopath Hoss Shackett, Odd had not planned on the depth of misleading that occurred. Odd had shared or transferred a vision to both Utgard Rolf (chin beard guy) and Shackett. This vision sharing was of the planned nuclear bombing that they were involved in orchestrating, so Shackett believed Odd to be psychic. Odd took advantage of the man's assumption about that, and the fact that the police chief believed him to be working for the government. He "admitted" to being the covert operative Harry Lime, having received a special psychic power-inducing drug, and being willing to take a bribe to look the other way. What he actually did was all that was within his power, and that was to incite Frank Sinatra into a poltergeist-like rage tornado. It freed him from custody. At the end of the book, Odd left town with Annamarie, Boo, Frank and their new (and alive) pet, Raphael the Golden Retriever. Milo Minderbinder was a character in "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller, Tom Ripley was from "The Talented Mr. Ripley" by Patricia Highsmith, and Bill Sikes was from "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens. Orson Welles played the character Harry Lime in the 1949 film "The Third Man".

From Quiz Being Odd

Answer: Stormy died

Dead Elvis also appeared in Charlaine Harris' "Southern Vampire" series. He was a vampire in those books, but a ghost in Odd's world. Ghosts did not speak in Odd's world, but they could communicate with him in other ways. He had been able to help some of them cross over into the next realm. In book one, Elvis did not cross over, but remained with Odd after Stormy's death. Stormy died in both the book and the film. She was played by actress Addison Timlin, who also appeared on the TV series "Californation" and "Zero Hour". The fabulous Anton Yelchin played Odd. He was also in the films "Terminator Salvation" and the remake of "Fright Night".

Answer: bodachs

He sees bodachs. He describes them as ink-black fluid creatures that float. They have appendages but are not human-looking; they look more like wolves or dogs.

He calls them bodachs because a little boy said he saw them too (calling them by this name) ... then was hit by a truck.

From Quiz Being Odd, Part 2

Answer: Jolie

Jolie Ann Harmony was in danger. She'd started hiding out from the mind control of the alien/human hybrid Dr. Norris Hiskott. She led Odd out of Harmony Corner via a former storm drain and explained about the last five years. The doctor worked at Fort Wyvern (an allusion to Area 51), a military base/experimental government facility. While working on an alien craft and its inhabitants, Hiskott injected himself with alien DNA. He escaped the facility-wide lockdown and came to Harmony Corner. Three days later, he'd transformed into a serpentine monster and hid inside one of the family homes. One new aspect of his hybridization was being able to read and control minds. He'd committed awful intrusions upon the Harmony clan, including forcing them to murder. Callie, Khloe, and Sofie are three lovely sisters I know.

From Quiz Being Odd

Answer: His aunt, Cymry

In book one, Odd established that none of his family members had known of his gift. His mom had her own special kind of mental issues, described to sound somewhat like borderline personality disorder. She had been emotionally unavailable to him throughout his life, and had threatened to kill herself in front of him many times. His father was a narcissist who refused to act his age, and that left the mysterious sister of his mom, Aunt Cymry. He'd never met her, and reports of her location were vague and inconsistent, but by the end of the book he concluded that she could possibly be locked away somewhere having the same "gift" as he'd been given. The film described his mom as being locked up by the time he was seven years old and no mention of Cymry. Carl, Shane and Daryl are all characters from the TV show "The Walking Dead".

From Quiz Being Odd, Part 2

Answer: Ed

Since the facility closing, Aladdin had been left in charge of security. Any human who'd been locked inside had long since died. One thing Ed was guarding was a massive alien sphere recovered with the alien spacecraft. Ed engaged Jolie in conversation, revealed it was not human, and helped her and Odd defeat Norris Hiskott, whom it knew all about. Ed explained that it had picked its own name, disliking the Aladdin reference. In the end, Odd was able to kill the hybrid. The town rejoiced quietly, burned down the house in which Hiskott lived, and said goodbye to Odd. Annamarie told Jolie to send her part of the story to Odd, via Ozzie Boone, and it would be included in the manuscript. This made Jolie very happy. The story ended with Odd, Annamarie, and the two dogs on their way to Roseland. And, the incorrect choices are characters from the TV series "Supernatural".

From Quiz Being Odd, Part 2

Answer: 1920

Roseland, at first, was deeply mysterious to Odd. They'd traveled there on his psychic intuition and garnered an invitation to stay by means of Annamarie's unique powers of persuasion. It was built in 1920 by a wealthy movie magnate named Cloyce Constantine. He had been married to a woman named Madra at the time, and told her it was just a coastal getaway. It was so much more than that. The entire estate was one huge time-controlled device. The people who lived there were able to stay young forever, but not without consequences such as homicidal boredom and grotesque visitors from the future.

From Quiz Being Odd

Answer: Panamint Resort and Casino - a woman named Datura

In the time after Stormy's death, Odd had fallen into seclusion. Where he'd previously been there for Danny, he was unable to support his long time friend after Stormy died. Danny's own mom had died of cancer, and his step-father had not been enough emotional support. So, Danny turned to phone sex lines for companionship. This was how he met Datura. She was a deeply disturbed woman, but also powerfully commanding. She found out about Odd's abilities from Danny and used that psychic pull to lead him to a resort/casino burned out five years earlier in the aftermath of earthquakes. She wanted Odd's ti bon ange for herself. That term, 'ti bon ange', means "little good angel". It is described as "the essence of a person, the portrait of the individual, the sum of their life's choices, actions and beliefs". She believed in dark magic and that Odd was a witch doctor. The name Datura refers to a poisonous plant, sometimes called angel's trumpets, and sharing that name with the Brugmansia. Early in the book, the Brugmansia tree, or Tree of Death, played a part in the story. Datura, over confident and fully insane, met her maker at the hands of a mountain lion prowling the casino area for food.
