I write books and save lives. I throw axes for fun and a vampiric unicorn that farts rainbows inhabits my soul.
Between 12 hour nursing shifts and 24 hour parenting shifts, I redefined myself as an authorpreneur with my first book, "Growing A Rainbow: The Premature Journey of a Two Pound Hero." I’m a mother of a super-preemie with special needs, an often companionable wife, Canadian ER nurse, traveller and hobby medievalist. My debut urban fantasy, "The Queen’s Viper," is a grimdark take on UK folklore set in Elizabethan and modern London, with an anti-hero fairy who scoffs at glittery wings.

Viper is seeking her ultimate enemy and the resolution of a prophecy, but she’ll have to do it carefully. There are far too many people in this whole new world and she’s going to have to keep herself alive by taking their life essence ... without getting caught. But there are those who seek to fight her (including the Queen) and those who seek to assist her. It’s going to be an interesting time for her, especially when changes start to occur in her life that make her rethink some of her previous plans, like Owain, Graeme and Dhillon, in The Queen’s Viper by Lesley Donaldson. You’ll need to work out right and wrong and definitely who are the good guys and who are the bad guys in this book, and it’s not going to be as easy as you might think.
I liked this book from the excellent characters to the way you’re drawn into the story. It’s really interesting to read and you feel like you get to know the characters. Not only that, but they actually develop in entirely different ways than you might think. It’s a book that I would recommend to my friends because of the great development of the plot as well. I’m going to be looking for the second book in this series (and the third) because it really developed well. The Queen’s Viper by Lesley Donaldson will make your list of favorite books. It’s most certainly going to be one of mine.
