Gold Digger 255

Thanks to an unwitting error by visiting Ooshoosh hunters, a titanic alien life form lurking in a dimensional peninsula literally catches wind of were-cheetah Britanny's existence. Now this monstrous "TALF" is speeding toward her home in search of its favorite delicacy: felines!

The mysterious Hurt-Bot that tried to kill Gina and Brit' with mechanisms of the Death Trap Architect is still out for blood... so he gets himself a vampire.

But Natasha's got the need to feed, and she taps straight in the realm's lifestream, becoming ultra-powered! Gina's mystery mech foe may have bitten off more than he can chew!

The new Sci-Fi Cosplay Credit Union is throwing a block party, with debt-reduction incentives to those who bring family members to join. Britanny therefore reluctantly invites Gina, despite knowing she'll never hear the end of it. But behind the scenes, someone is paying a visit to the SFCCU chief Ben Palpatine, and he's altering the deal for the sisters. For their sake, they should pray he doesn't alter it any further!

It's the spring of 1898 and Dawson, Yukon Territory, is the most exciting town in North America. The great Klondike Gold Rush is in full swing, and Fiona MacGillivray has crawled over the Chilkoot Pass, determined to make her fortune as the owner of the Savoy dance hall. But Fiona has many obstacles to overcome, including her 12-year-old son, who is growing up much too fast for her liking. As well, she must cope with a former Glasgow street fighter who is now her business partner; a stern, handsome North West Mounted Police constable named Richard Sterling; and a wild assortment of headstrong dancers, croupiers, gamblers, madams without hearts of gold, bar hangers-on, and sourdoughs. Not to mention Fiona's own nimble-fingered past, which just might get to her first. And then there's the dead body on center stage.Gold Digger is a light-hearted historical mystery, peopled with an array of intrepid characters, the kind of characters who flooded into the Klondike to make Dawson, in its very short heyday, the most exciting town in the world. At the center of the hullabaloo is Fiona MacGillivray: resourceful, unscrupulous, ambitious, and (as she says herself) the most beautiful woman in Dawson. Gold Digger is the first in a new series featuring Fiona MacGillivray, her son Angus, NWMP Constable Richard Sterling, and the town at the heart of the Last Great Gold Rush, Dawson, Yukon Territory.
