Nurse-and-union-leader turned homicide-detective, Eminence Gray, uses her gifts of empathy and emotional labor to catch the most vicious of West Brandon's killers. Em's skillset will be put to the ultimate test when the highest-profile murder case her department's ever seen falls right into her lap. Add to Em's troubles a corrupt executive from her union days, and it might just be Eminence Gray requiring a little bedside manner... or a lot.

Mathematical Logician, as well as high school math teacher, in addition to genre novelist (though trying to phase out the teaching). Grew up in rural Manitoba, Canada, in the town of Dauphin. Primary (though unpaid) occupation has always been writing, so thought it a good idea to embrace independent publishing, as both the published and the publisher.
