Local news reporter Avery Shaw’s week is going from bad to worse. It’s bad enough there’s a dead body in the parking lot of the paper, but when the investigation into the death leads to drugs – and a tie to her own family – things continue to spiral downward. If she could focus on that, though, it would just be another normal week. Constant run-ins with both the men in her life – neither of whom seems to be showing her the level of respect she feels she deserves – are making things more stressful than they need to be. Avery is going to get the story – even if it means taking down her own cousin. Surviving to file that story, though, that’s a whole other problem altogether.

When I was a kid, I was torn between whether or not I was going to grow up and be the Incredible Hulk or Wonder Woman. I flirted with being a Jedi Knight for awhile, but I wasn't up for the intense travel associated with the gig. In my teens, I settled on being a writer—although I had no idea the effort that would entail. Not only am I a writer now, but I'm a writer in several different mediums. I'm a longtime newspaper reporter, an avid reader and a voracious science fiction fanatic.
