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.

Banished to Victorian London

“Auburdeen Perneila Hayle,” Sassafras hissed, the amber glow from his cat eyes growing until the front of the wicker cage shone with it, “you will do whatever you can to behave yourself, to not embarrass me or your mother and to absolutely under every circumstance maintain a firm hand on your horrid temper.”

My anger simmered. Yes, I had a temper. And yes, it had taken me into situations in the past that perhaps I shouldn't have been part of, situations that usually devolved into fistfights and incoherent yelling at the offender. He should be grateful I always kept control of myself enough my magic never came into play. Except that one time. But it wasn't my fault. Not really. And the offender recovered. Eventually.

Auburdeen Hayle is the sixteen-year-old daughter of the next leader of her coven. When the transition of power becomes tense, Burdie is sent from her home in America to stay with old friends in London to keep her safe. But a handsome young man chooses to hide from the police in her hansom, drawing Burdie into an underground world of magic that challenges even her sense of adventure and puts her at odds with the very people who are meant to protect her.

Blood and Gold Trilogy

When we emerged from the dark unpleasantness of London's underbelly, Damon immediately steered us in a new direction and it only took me a few moments to understand where we were going.


"Are you certain this is a good idea?" I caught up with him as we entered the lovely residential district I'd come to know.


"We need to talk to Sassafras," he said, "and let Mum and Da know what's happening. Since he's with Georgina... we have little choice, sis."


I glanced behind me at Kate who seemed much lighter of step the closer we came to her home. "Nice try," I said. "We both know Kate could contact Sass at any point."


He sighed, shrugged. "Just for once do as I ask you, Tweet."


There was nothing I despised more than the nickname he'd shouldered me with when we were very young. I punched his arm hard for reminding me, forgetting and using my metal hand. He flinched and rubbed at the spot.


"Careful how you use that thing," he said.
