EXCERPT From BOOK 3 in the Series
Cutter’s Revenge, Book 3 continues my story after my adoption, mixing 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! Poppy tells me people are disappearing and warns me about a maniac, a killer in our mist. When I meet a handsome stranger and consider running away with him, I wonder if he could be the man Poppy had warned me about. Enter Cutter’s Sadistic World...If you Dare!
Excerpt, Book 3:
Thinking of going away—running away—with this guy intrigued me, but I didn’t know him, and I’d never seen him around town or at school before.
“Poppy said a maniac was in the area and people were disappearing,” I whispered. “Maybe Stan’s the guy Poppy told me about.”
The rest of the day my thoughts kept drifting back to Stan with the dark, wavy hair, dazzling blue eyes, a beautiful smile, and a body to die for.
“He didn’t look like a maniac.”
Walking home from school, I’d almost made up my mind, but then, not feeling totally comfortable about it all, I decided to sleep on it. Still talking to myself, I tried to convince myself of a reason not to go away with Stan…
Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival, Book 1 is 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 multiple personalities in order to survive...VERY graphic!
Trophy Murders, Book 2 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 my journey after going to live with Uncle Henry (the cop) and his heavy-handed wife, Olivia. A life, by the way, I wouldn’t wish on any kid!
Books 2 & 3 are loaded with action, suspense, drama, secrets, a love story, and so much more, plus my fictional crimes are a bit twisted and sadistic. I hope you enjoy reading all three books in this series as much as I enjoyed writing them.
Next in the Bitter Memories Series
Book 4 - memoir (currently being written)
After Midnight continues parts left out from the other books in the series. I expect, like the other three books, this one will also take on a life of its own before finished as I delve more into my life after leaving home, my involvement with my mother’s alcoholic sister and, what everyone has been waiting for—my big brother—who I touched on briefly in the other books. This story is coming!
Book 5 - non-fiction (not part of the bitter memories series)
From The Heart: A Collection of Poems and Stories is a book that came from low points in my life while searching for inner peace. It seems I can’t write poetry unless depressed, but these poems are thoughtful, not depressing. They are actual feelings with short stories about what inspired each poem. Truly written “from the heart” I expose feelings never shared with another person until this book. Also in audiobook, and to listen as my written words are spoken by Beth MacEwan who narrated is totally awesome! For a breathtaking experience grab a copy of the audio version today.
