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.

Chapter 240

INT. - SILVER CITY COLLEGE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE - AFTERNOON

Mickerel was in his office when the pair arrived, and despite his receptionist's insistence he couldn't see them, Gerri kept on moving through the waiting room and through his well-marked office door. Kinsey's barely concealed grin vanished just in time. About the same moment Gerri slammed her way through. She took that to mean she was about to piss him off.

Awesome.

President Mickerel stood from behind his desk, outrage on his face, caterpillar brows crawling together as he stared down Gerri and Kinsey.

"What is the meaning of this?" He circled his desk in a rush, setting down the receiver of his phone in response to the sudden interruption. "Dr. DanAllart, I demand to know what the hell it is you think you're doing."
