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.

Gerri parked the Charger across the road from the grocery store rather than trying to cut through the picket line to use the parking lot. Her contacts had tracked Abigail Armstrong to this suburban strip mall and the shopping center presently under harassment by HACT. Abigail's organization. Humans Are Creatures Too, served as the activist's more legitimate touchstone. Gerri was well aware the woman was into more radical means of protesting that had nothing to do with holding up a "Meat Kills" sign and everything to do with breaking and entering labs for some constructive sabotage.


Abigail took one look at Gerri stomping toward her and grinned. "Detective Meyers," the woman said through clenched teeth. So, not grinning. And here Gerri thought she was happy to see her. "This is a legal protest. You have no right to be here."
