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.

Trash Heaven has been Didi Duke’s home for as long as she can remember. The dumping ground of the galaxy provides her with everything she’s ever needed or wanted. Except, maybe, the attention of her inventor father, always busy with his next creation. Good thing he’s passed on his talents to his sixteen-year-old daughter. With the company of her best friend—the cyborg crow, Pip—Didi is happy to scour her territory for treasures discarded as trash. But, when an evil Underlord kidnaps her father, Didi can no longer hide herself away in the garbage. Her plan to resurrect a retired cyborg gunslinger and rescue her dad leads her into danger and the heart of the rotting planet—Trash City. She’ll figure out the rest of her plan—eventually.

Didi and the Gunslinger

She's a bit shocked at her own coldness, at how easy it is to write off her friend, but Elian seems pleased by her choice and Didi doesn't have the heart to worry about Bo right now. Not when he's left her again to fend for herself. And, she hates to admit, broke that same heart just by the act of running. While the possibility exists he's gone off to try to find an alternative method of escape from The Homestead does cross her mind, she shoves it aside in favor of sulking. Another new and unfamiliar choice that doesn't sit so well with her action oriented spirit. Still, she figures she's earned a bit of spoiled brat after everything that dastardly dirtdigger has put her through.
