YOU MAY NOT KNOW…
If you’ve been following my blog, or following me on Facebook, LinkedIn, plus other social media sites, then you already know I'm the author of the bestselling Bitter Memories series that used to be called a “trilogy.” I'm in the process of writing the fourth, turning the trilogy into a series.
Currently the first three books are available on Amazon as e-books. Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival and Trophy Murders were available in paperback, and you may still be able to buy them from Amazon and other retailers, but only until their stock runs out.
I suggest, if you really want the paperback, wait until I get them redone and on CreateSpace! The price will be cheaper!
The reason for this change is because I finally fired the publisher I had used on those first two books. With the second book I got sick and tired of the hassles and having to constantly fight to have my books done my way!
However, Bitter Memories will be back in paperback very soon, with an awesome new cover! Just waiting for the back of the cover to be finished and it will be ready to go.
The cover of Trophy Murders will also be redone, and back in paperback as soon as the new cover art is completed.
I haven’t decided about the cover of Cutter’s Revenge yet. Leave it as is, or redo it? I like parts of the current cover, but I feel it could be so much better. I guess I’ll just have to talk with my artist and friend, Gary McCluskey, and see what he thinks about it. By the way, Gary is the artist of the new artwork for Bitter Memories!
As I said, the 4th in the series will be coming later this year. I do plan on Gary doing all these covers, so be ready for AWESOMENESS, both inside and outside each book!
Bitter Memories (Book 1) isn't a feel-good book, but it is the true story of my life after being kidnapped at 3 years old by my father, then living a life on the run, hungry, abused and terrified.
The language is raw, the content is graphic, but there is no way to sugarcoat child abuse. The majority of reviews have been 5-star, but many of my readers have told me that they felt every emotion possible while reading, and they could not put it down!
The other books in the series continues my story after my mother's death (Trophy Murders, Book 2) and after my adoption by my mother's brother, a cop, and his heavy-handed wife (Cutter’s Revenge, Book 3). Readers also say they cannot put these books down, either!
In these two books I do lighten things up a bit and include fictionalized murders for my uncle (the cop) to solve, plus there’s a love story or two, and my fictional serial killer/s will get your heart racing.
The 4th, titled After Midnight, will continue parts left out from the other three, bringing out what my readers and fans have been waiting for --I talk about my big brother!
I also have a non-fiction book of poetry and short stories that inspired each poem. These poems come from different times in my life while searching for peace from my past. Cover artist on this book is Barbara Pack. It's also available in audio, and this version is totally awesome! Beth McEwan narrated.
