Eternal Daughter

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. What if Death fell in love with Life and they had a daughter…? Life or Death The old man’s body arched, his eyes flying open, a moan escaping his lips while the heart rate monitor speeded before settling into a strong, healthy rhythm. I jerked my hand back, weight in my chest as the mist dissipated and left me to stare at the body in the bed. While Nero’s hand grasped my arm and pulled me forcefully away, I knew the truth. The old man’s eyes fluttered, opened. And he smiled at me. Alive. Healthy. Full of Life when his fate was Death. No. Not again. Her unique parentage ensures Eve isn't like her angel siblings. She brings Death at the beginning of Life and Life to those meant to die. Her continuing failures create constant disaster for her parents and the mortals she tries so hard to serve. But when Eve accidentally interferes with the Loom of Creation, she sets off a chain of events that leads her to finally understand who she really is.

Chapter 28: Locked Away

I barely acknowledged the fact that not only had my mother locked me in my room, she'd done so after telling me some very frightening and horrible sounding things that made me wonder if maybe she'd started to lose it. Had Life gone crazy? Could being the mistress of all things in Creation somehow make one snap like a twig under too much pressure? I say barely acknowledged because I'd just started to put all the pieces into some kind of order in my head when movement under my bed made me jump and shriek like a terrified little girl.

Considering the day I'd had, a bit of girlish shrieking wasn't all that farfetched and anyone who chose to judge me for it could just take a flying leap from the Tree. As it was, I clutched at my chest, panting and gasping for breath while Lilith eased her way out from under the woven frame and deposited herself on my mattress.
