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. - GERRI'S CAR to 27 CLUB - EVENING


Gerri was waiting, impatient frown on her face, when Ray climbed in the back seat, Kinsey snapping on her seatbelt in the front. Unsure as to why she was feeling so antagonistic, so out of sorts, Ray held her tongue and stared out the car window as Gerri drove away.

The 27 Club was quiet and empty when they arrived, though the front door was unlocked. Ray held back, one hand on Kinsey's arm while Gerri eased inside, gun in hand.


"We should stay out here," Ray said. Not out of fear. This had nothing to do with her. The chill in her heart agreed.


Kinsey wrinkled her nose at Ray. "Where's the fun in that? Besides, Juliette was rehearsing this afternoon. I want to talk to her."
