Eternal Daughter

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. What if Death fell in love with Life and they had a daughter…? Life or Death The old man’s body arched, his eyes flying open, a moan escaping his lips while the heart rate monitor speeded before settling into a strong, healthy rhythm. I jerked my hand back, weight in my chest as the mist dissipated and left me to stare at the body in the bed. While Nero’s hand grasped my arm and pulled me forcefully away, I knew the truth. The old man’s eyes fluttered, opened. And he smiled at me. Alive. Healthy. Full of Life when his fate was Death. No. Not again. Her unique parentage ensures Eve isn't like her angel siblings. She brings Death at the beginning of Life and Life to those meant to die. Her continuing failures create constant disaster for her parents and the mortals she tries so hard to serve. But when Eve accidentally interferes with the Loom of Creation, she sets off a chain of events that leads her to finally understand who she really is.

Chapter 26: Escape From Eden

Never mind the shock I felt that Lilith continued to help me or the soft exhale of Tulip's relief when the rainbow serpent dropped to the ground and slithered away without waiting for us. I was certain the oddness of my life since touching the Loom couldn't get any stranger until this moment.

"Should we follow?" Tulip's hesitation sounded biased, her body still tense with nerves. "I don't trust her."

"I never used to," I said. "But she's been trying to help. So maybe we let her and see what happens."

Tulip snorted, tossed her head. And followed the retreating serpent tail with reluctance.

None of my siblings seemed willing to interfere with Lilith leading us, though we did garner enough sideways looks I knew if we did retrieve the key Mom would know about it. But hopefully not before I had a chance to finally use it and find out what was behind the mist door.
