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.

When transsexual starlet Aisling is murdered, Detective Geraldine Meyers is assigned the case. With help from medical examiner Dr. Rachel Hunter, Gerri realizes this is no ordinary killing. While she might not want to call in over-eager anthropologist Dr. Kinsey DanAllart, the detective is forced to trust her friend's expertise in symbology, even though doing so means admitting "weird" things might be happening in Silver City. As the three friends unravel the mystery of the dancer's death, one thing is made absolutely apparent--something isn't right in their new hometown. And someone is doing everything they can to make sure the truth doesn't come out.

In Silver City, sometimes friendship can be murder.

INT. - 9TH PRECINCT INTERROGATION - MORNING


Emily didn't screw around. Less than an hour after their conversation, the ADA had Daryl Patterson, Ivan Bruts and the company lawyers-all three of them-parked in interrogation one. At their insistence. Since Gerri had no solid evidence against Patterson, and he was here voluntarily, she had to give him his posse. But, that didn't keep her from grinning at the CEO from her lonely place behind the desk as if she had his ass in her hands ready to hand to him.


For the first time in a long time, she wasn't on her own. And it wasn't Jackson Pierce sitting next to her, feet straining to reach the floor. Emily Pocket's grim expression would have been hilarious if her intensity mixed with doll-like perfect didn't scare the bejesus out of Gerri.


She would not want to face this woman in a courtroom.
