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. - THE MELTON HOTEL to INT. - SILVER CITY MORGUE - AFTERNOON

"Yes, thank you, I'll be right there." Ray sighed as she hung up the phone, the unfamiliar scent of another woman's shampoo clinging to her hair. The quiet bedroom's dim light brightened as the slim blonde she'd spent the last two hours with pulled back the heavy drapes of her hotel room.

Veronica-or was it Vicky?-smiled as she turned to face Ray, wrapped in a fluffy, monogrammed robe. Her blue eyes seemed sad, though. Did she know this would be the only time she ever saw the tall, slim brunette? That Ray could hardly bear to touch her now their afternoon tryst was over?
