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 acts, reacts, instinct taking over before her grandmother can kill the man who still exists inside the body of the gunslinger. It's the least she can do, mind reeling from all she just overheard, from the evil woman whom she trusted.


She really needs to figure out when people are lying to her. For now, none of that matters. Didi's only focus is the rigid, silent form of the plastantium cyber soldier who is her great-grandfather.


Didi will not let his identity slow her or keep her from acting, nor is she frozen any longer. She already lingered far too long outside Emily's-she'll never think of her as her grandmother again-laboratory, eavesdropping when she should have been helping. But she heard things she maybe needed to hear, truths that cut her deep while lifting her heavy heart out of despair.
