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.

She'd arrived at Chariot Publishing's West coast office over a half hour ago. And while the smiling receptionist told her it would only be a few minutes, she'd been forced to cool her heels in the waiting room while person after freaking person jumped the queue ahead of her, escorted into the offices beyond the front desk.


If the small, myopic man who just arrived was ushered in ahead of her, she was going to throw a fit.


The main door opened, the sight of Kinsey entering making Gerri feel a little better. At least she would have her to play interference if Gerri couldn't keep her temper. But, from the look of worry on the anthropologist's face, Gerri had more to think about than who was jumping the line ahead of her.
