First Plane Trilogy

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. Sibling Rivalry I loved my sister with all my heart, but there were times like these when I hated her, too. I tried very hard not to allow the reality of being Syd’s little sister weigh on me, but it was so difficult when my entire life was about scrutiny, either from those who couldn’t wait for me to screw up, or from my family who watched with barely-concealed concern. Everyone waited for me to crack under the pressure. The next person who compared anything I accomplished to what Syd would have done was going to perish in flame and agony. Meira might sit on First Seat, but her initial four years as Ruler haven’t been as easy as she thought they’d be. Thanks to her father’s new policies, Meira’s power has been diverted away from Ruler and into the hands of her Second Seat and grandfather, Henemordonin, as well as the greedy and grasping court of Demonicon. Struggling to regain control while being constantly bullied and tormented, Meira faces a fresh concern—a cult of mysterious demons has risen in the outer planes, preaching love and peace, finding followers where no religion has ever succeeded before.

Chapter 48: The Demon You Trusted

The court had assembled and I could only assume my grandfather summoned them. Humiliation burned inside me as my

grandfather dragged me down the center aisle between the staring gathering of family. Flashing red-tinted faces, glowing

amber eyes, elaborate costumes and polished horns whipped past, blurring the features of those watching with almost

identical judgment on their pinched demon faces. I stopped kicking and screaming, allowing Henemordonin to escort me for

ego's sake, though he moved so fast I knew I had to look like an errant child being brought to task.

THE BASTARD! Ahbi writhed in fury, slamming against his power over and over again. HE DARES!

He did. And, by the time he pushed me with incredible violence to the ground at the foot of the throne dais, his power

flattening me against the cold stone, I knew I was in serious trouble. And that he finally had me exactly where he wanted

me.
