Nightshade Cases

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. When transsexual starlet Aisling is murdered, Detective Geraldine Meyers is assigned the case. With help from medical examiner Dr. Rachel Hunter, Gerri realizes this is no ordinary killing. While she might not want to call in over-eager anthropologist Dr. Kinsey DanAllart, the detective is forced to trust her friend's expertise in symbology, even though doing so means admitting "weird" things might be happening in Silver City. As the three friends unravel the mystery of the dancer's death, one thing is made absolutely apparent--something isn't right in their new hometown. And someone is doing everything they can to make sure the truth doesn't come out. In Silver City, sometimes friendship can be murder.

INT. - SILVER CITY MORGUE - MORNING

Kinsey slipped into the morgue, peeking inside first to make sure Ray was alone. It wasn't hard to fake her way past the two security guards at the front desk. They knew her by sight, and obviously hadn't been updated on her status. The fact she could no longer work with Gerri and Ray on cases thanks to her association with Simone Paris and Julian Black still irritated her. She wanted to have her cake and, well. Devour it with a passion that would startle anyone who knew her.

Ray looked up from the body on her slab and waved the blonde inside. Kinsey let the swinging doors slip shut behind her, crossing to her friend, careful to keep her eyes off the metal table and on the brunette in the safety goggles and lab coat.
