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 hasn't seen him since yesterday but now it seems important she find him and shake him and slap him or punch him or something to express the unhappy seizures of disquiet racing through her system. Aimed at him, the liar, the jackbutt, the yoink of a thieving trash rat who she will see shredded to the core of his miserable soul for deceiving her this way.


They didn't set him free because of her. They didn't release him and let him wander the Underlord headquarters because Divinity Gont said to do so. They let his sorry, pathetic carcass wander free because he is one of them.


Now, fair enough. Didi's known there's more to his story and chose to ignore it. It's as much her own fault she's now furious and reacting so badly she's sure she's going to explode any second. As wildly hypocritical as her reaction is, part of it comes from fear.
