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 57: Plotting Matricide

I had barely thrown myself to the surface of my sofa, head lolling back on the cushions, when Mafdel decided my life needed to be more complicated than ever.

"You do realize," she said with a calm repose and total lack of empathy, "we're going to have to kill Isis to make this go away."

I sat up immediately, staring at her like she'd taken a shot at me. "Kill her?" While I had a serious hate on for my mother and had since she tried to manipulate me into murdering Dad, the idea of taking the life of the woman who gave birth to me appalled. Sure, I wanted her dealt with, and Chaos had offered up heart extraction images for my edification, but I understood Death intimately, thanks to my heritage. And ending her Life seemed excessive. "Why?" Was that a stupid question? It felt stupid and like my suddenly thick tongue couldn't speak around it.
