Kidnapped...on the run...hungry...abused...terrified...
The BITTER MEMORIES Trilogy is an unforgettable, unnerving journey into a world of extreme neglect and criminal cruelty/abuse as I fight to survive under the worst conditions imaginable.
Book 1 - non-fiction:
Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival is written in novel style for easy reading, as I relive the true story of my life after being kidnapped by my father, then for six years living a life on the run, hungry, abused and terrified...so terrified that I split into my first of four multiple personalities not long after the kidnapping...strong adult language and graphic content.
Book 2 - creative non-fiction/crime fiction:
Trophy Murders delves into my vivid “where did that come from” imagination to deliver an action-packed crime story about a gang of serial killers; mixing in truth as I continue the journey after going to live with Uncle Henry (the cop) and his heavy-handed wife, Olivia. A life, by the way, that I wouldn’t wish on any kid!
Book 3 - psychological thriller/crime fiction:
Cutter's Revenge mixes truth with a ton of suspense to get the heart racing as my imagination runs as rampant as the stalking serial killer bringing terror around every turn! Using many of the same characters, I introduce several new ones — many you’ll love, some you’ll love to hate — plus a happy ending!
NOTE: Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival is NOT a cozy, feel-good book. It is a true story of extreme child abuse and my struggle to survive.
Bitter Memories was 40+ years writing. Time and again I had to stop because those memories became too painful. This book contains strong adult language and graphic content, but it was my life.
Trophy Murders and Cutter’s Revenge are filled with action, suspense, drama, secrets, a love story, and more. The language is toned down and the abuse is not nearly as intense or as often, and my fictional crimes are a bit twisted and sadistic, making for a very exciting, sit-on-the-edge-of-the-chair read!
My Newest Book - non-fiction:
From The Heart is a collection of fifteen poems from events in my life including short stories that inspired the writing of each poem. Starting with my first poem written at age nine after the death of my mother, I expose feelings never shared before … Also available in audio with Beth MacEwan narrating, From The Heart is not only inspirational but truly awesome listening to my words spoken. Beth did an amazing job bringing life to each poem and story.
