I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn.

Being super doesn't come with a training manual.

No.3 plucked me out of my wheelchair and securely strapped me into a three point harness before I could even think to fight, not that I could have struggled much.

Sixteen-year-old Wyatt Simons has spent his entire life in a wheelchair, raised by his nanny Abigail since his scientist father wants nothing to do with him. That's why Wyatt is so shocked when his dad has him brought to his secret underground lab where Wyatt is exposed to a secret military experiment, one that transforms his body beyond all expectations. But physical changes can do nothing to erase the fact his father still treats him like he's in the way, or help find the dangerous saboteur undermining the project.

On my way back to my room, I overheard my father talking to Billy in his quarters. No, I wasn't sneaking a listen. The door was wide open. I didn't need my super hearing to make out what he was saying, either. Not that he was talking to Billy. More like he was talking to the tech next to him who logged observations on a chart.


"Disappointing," Dad said. "No manifestation to speak of. Strength seems to be at parallel with the first subject, invincibility a bonus. But I had high hopes for some other surprises here." He shrugged his shoulders and turned to the tech who stared at him, eyes wide behind her glasses. She got it, if my father didn't. "I guess you can't win them all."
