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.

The blue joy is calling... but can Fresco survive it?

"Do you know what happened to you?" Joey's voice broke a little. Fresco shook his head. The kid nodded, like it was no big surprise." Yeah, me either. No one seems to. We just have normal lives, you know? Then suddenly you wake up with this thing eating into you," he swallowed hard, "and that's it. The rest is Wasteland."

Seventeen-year-old Fresco Conte is an ordinary All-American kid from an upper middle-class family. He plays football. His girlfriend is a cheerleader. Life is good. Until unexplained things, scary things, start to take him over. Like surviving an accident that should have killed him. Or hearing the thoughts of the people around him whether he wants to or not.
 
When the men in the dark blue coveralls come for him, Fresco is forced into addiction to the blue joy known as Wasteland and set free on the street, with no answers and only his hunger to keep him company.

Don't miss the rest of this dark YA urban fantasy series! Wasteland and Diamond City are now available.

Diamond City Trilogy

It didn't take long for the Master to come around.


We will succeed, he said as soon as he opened the link to One. There is no alternative.


One did not mention to the Master how uncomfortable he was alone. How he couldn't get the constant mental crying to stop or how hard it was to block the others without the Master to guide him. He never mentioned it because as soon as the connection returned he forgot all about it.


You must go, the Master said. A child has entered the next phase. Bring him back here so we can proceed.


One was on his way immediately. But not by himself. Strom and the rest of his team, minus Mitch of course, met him at the van. One could tell Parker cried recently. His contempt returned. In that moment he realized he missed his daily dose of treatment, but let it go. One had orders. He could have the injection as soon as he returned.
