WRITE TO LIVE, BUT LIVE TO WRITE!
Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival is the book that started it all. Written novel-style for easy reading, this is a true story of a little girl (me) kidnapped by her father, living a life on the run, hungry, abused and terrified...NOTE: There is no way to “sugarcoat” child abuse, therefore be prepared for strong language that would put a sailor to shame and explicit content. Also in audio.
Trophy Murders is not only an action-packed fictional crime story, but I take you deeper into the journey of true events after going to live with Uncle Henry (a cop) and his heavy-handed wife, Olivia. A life I wouldn't wish on any kid! This book is mainly for my fiction fans, but my others readers also enjoy it. For the 100% true story see "Drowning In Memories," the second in the series if you really don't want any fiction tossed in.
Drowning In Memories continues the true story from "Bitter Memories," told in two parts. Some of the dialog has been recreated from memory, and some recreated using known characteristics and actions of the person being quoted, but the stories contained are as close to the truth as I know them to be.
Cutter's Revenge is the perfect way to round out my series—and to get a pound of revenge, safely. This book continues my story after my adoption, mixing truth with fiction. Anyone who’s read the other books will know what’s true and what isn't in this story. While another fictionalized serial killer stalks our little town, I write my story the way it could have been...if...turning tragedy into a fantastic, exciting read! Cutter’s Revenge is unrelentingly suspenseful.
From The Heart is a collection of fifteen poems written from events in my life, including short stories that inspired the writing of each poem. Included is the first poem I wrote at 9 years old after the death of my mother.
Also in audio.
Just for fun: The Rose is a cute fantasy, complete with talking animals that try to help their "Queen" in her quest when they learn of danger coming to the city and to the forest.
Also in audio.
One In A Million is a heartwarming story about a wonderful man who helped change my life while helping me find my way back from a never-ending abyss after my suicide attempt. An awesome story of friendship. This short story is also the bonus story in "Drowning In Memories."
After Midnight is part two in "Drowning In Memories," dedicated to my brother. It continues memories and many mistakes I made along the way. This up and down ride includes fun times, not-so-fun times and sad times that came to mind during and after writing "Bitter Memories."
