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. - DR. PANTHER'S OFFICE to YARDLY HOUSE - AFTERNOON

Gerri towered over Angela's desk, Cici's receptionist's gulp of concern doing little to make the detective back off.

"What do you mean," she growled at the girl, "she's not here?"

"Dr. Panther is out for the afternoon," Angela squeaked before clearing her throat, reaching for the phone with a frown forming between her brows though her voice and hand shook. "You really need to go, Detective."

Gerri almost laughed. The girl thought she was threatening her, did she? Acting out of control? Crazy? She had no fucking clue.

But Cici would. Oh, would she ever. Gerri just had to find her first.

She stormed from the office, not caring if Angela called Captain King to complain. This was about Ray. And while Gerri might not be able to save her friend from that bitch of a mother of hers, there was no way she'd allow the therapist to screw Ray up any worse than she already was.
