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 knew he wouldn't react well and isn't surprised by Bo's instant rejection through the scowl on his face. Even Pip clatters in denial while the thief speaks.


"He's far past saving, Didi." Bo tries to turn away but she doesn't let him, grasping his arm in one hand and holding tight. "For certain Murta's wrung what she can from him by now and he's been slagged."


Does he have proof of that? She shudders an instant before shaking off the fear his words roused. No, he doesn't, the traitorous bagger. If he did, he'd be more certain, more insistent and less looking like he'd rather have surety than this misery of guesswork and betrayal.


Well, Didi won't let Bo's negativity stop her or change her mind, nor the cyber crow she clings to. If that's the case, if her gunslinger is bound for recycle and it's her fault, she'll deal with it when the truth is known. But until she sees his cold, crushed body for herself she's not giving up on him.
