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

Didi's numb body jerks violently as she-through force of will and utter despair-seizes control of herself and throws her last scrap of strength against the cruel plasstraps holding her down. Alfred seems unaffected by her sudden reclamation of motion, watching her fight with detached indifference that only feeds Didi's need to escape. He doesn't care what he's doing, who he hurts. His plan might sound like a good idea on the surface, but all she can imagine is a galaxy of automatons controlled and manipulated by the mad scientist. She will not be the carrier of such an infection. She will die first.
