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.

I tossed and turned, trying to get some sleep, wondering how I could ever sleep again knowing Demonicon was falling apart

around me. But even I needed rest, lest my judgment become clouded by stress and worry as well as the expended power I'd

used up in the last day or so.

It felt like putting everything on hold, lying there in my giant bed while the moons rose one by one through my window.

And yet, I'd done everything I could for the moment, or, at least, I told myself so. I'd tried to reach Syd again just a

half hour earlier, only to catch Sashenka in the basement when I opened the veil.

As the veil opened to the familiar family basement, Sashenka looked startled, hands full of candles. She squealed in

surprise, dropping the heavy wax cylinders, catching them with the family magic just before they hit the floor.

"Sorry," I winced.

She laughed and tossed back her long, dark hair, spinning the candles into place with a burst of energy before shrugging
