FROM THE HEART


From The Heart is a book of fifteen poems, exposing feelings never shared before. It also includes stories behind what inspired each poem in this book to be written.

If you’ve read Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival and the other two books in this series (Trophy Murders and Cutter's Revenge, then you already know most of my story, and you’ll recognize several poems from that time in my life.

If you haven't read my other books yet, to learn the full story, you’ll just have to read the bitter memories trilogy.

For so many years my life was a living hell on earth, but here's one of the poems in FROM THE HEART written after I'd gone on a three-day retreat. This was when my life slowly began to improve, but I still had a long way to go before I found true peace. Enjoy!

THE BRIDGE TO LIFE

I knew one day I would find a place
A place where all fears would fade away.
I spent my entire life trying to hide
Trying clever ways, I thought, to conceal
Afraid to let anyone see the real me.

I knew one day I would find a place
A place to build a bridge to You.
I was looking for a road or a path
A narrow road to love, to strength
A path to understanding.
I knew one day I would find a place
A place of sparkling waters.
There’s been so much missing in my life
I want to let love enter in
I no longer want to go it alone.

Did I let it just happen?
Or, did someone bring me here?
This place of peace and contentment
The place to build a bridge to You.
Never to go alone again, or, in fear.

I have found the place I looked for
The place to let my feelings free.
A place to let God enter in
With His love, His strength
His understanding.

I hope you'll get a copy of FROM THE HEART and take a short walk back in time with me. Or, get the audio version; sit back, relax, and listen as Beth MacEwan narrates.

I personally was totally blown away when I first heard Beth bringing life to my simple words, speaking with all the passion I felt during the writing.
The audiobook is truly awesome!

This is what one reader has recently said about my books:

"Sue Julsen's books make a very nice Christmas gift! She writes everything from the heart, leaving readers spellbound. Highly recommend." C.W.

I do write from the heart, taking readers on a journey into my life...into my world as a child, abused and terrified, trying to survive...

The crime fiction included in the second and third books of the Bitter Memories trilogy (Trophy Murders and Cutter's Revenge), I delve into my killer's head, and into his heart.

This Christmas give gifts that open another world...give the gift of adventure and learning...Books really do make wonderful gifts!

Check out the bitter memories trilogy, and From The Heart, my book of poetry (also available in audio). All e-books/kindle only $2.99 each!

NOTE: Due to strong language and content, the trilogy is not suitable for children.

"Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival"

Imagine: A happy little three-year old girl taken from her bed in the middle of the night by her father, a man she adores.

An earlier fight between her mother and father had left her believing her father didn't love her anymore, but here he was, waking her, telling her they were picking up her mother and going on a trip...just the three of them.

He helps her get dressed in the dark, then carries her out to the car he'd left running and puts her in the backseat. As he's driving away from the only home she's ever known, the little girl knows something is wrong.

Her father is acting very strange...

NOTE: This is not a cozy, feel-good book. It's a true story of extreme child abuse and the will to survive. Strong language, heart-wrenching content!

To learn more about this heartbreaking true story, go to my website: http://sj2448.wix.com/suejulsen

Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival

A True Story of a little girl (me) kidnapped at 3 years old...

IMAGINE: Taken from my home, my mother, my grandparents — everything I knew and loved — now living in the backseat of the car, feeling lost, scared and alone, not knowing if I'd ever go home again...

Please visit my website to learn more about the bitter memories trilogy, and my other book, From The Heart a Collection of Poems and Stories.

Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival
True Story of a little girl (me) kidnapped by her father...


** We stopped at a restaurant so Daddy could pick up his next "score" but not finding anyone he liked, he said he'd find someone better, and younger, at our next stop. After eating, we left unnoticed.

With a strange look on his face, Daddy drove for awhile before telling me to sit up and listen to him. Moving forward on the backseat, Daddy told me he'd called home and he had bad news about Mama... **


Other books in this series:
Trophy Murders combines truth with fiction to make an action-packed crime story while delving more into my life after going to live with my mother's brother, Henry (the cop) and his heavy-handed wife, Olivia.

Cutter's Revenge, again mixing truth with fiction, continues my story after being adopted. While another serial killer, maybe more ruthless than the gang of killers in the last book, stalks Henry's little town, I'm living a dream as I write my story's ending the way I wished it could have been.


To learn more about the bitter memories trilogy, and From The Heart, my new poetry book that includes stories that inspired the writing of each poem, please visit my website.

All my books, based on or from events in my life, have received 4 and 5 star reviews, and would make a great gift for Christmas.

NOTE: Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival is not a cozy, feel-good book. It's a true story of extreme child abuse and the will to survive. It contains strong language and heart-wrenching content, while Trophy Murders and Cutter's Revenge has the raw language toned down, a lot.

Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival
True Story of a little girl (me) kidnapped by her father...

I never knew from one day to the next what life was going to throw at me. I wanted to believe Daddy would be there to protect me and to take care of me, but Daddy was a cruel man. He only cared about himself, but I still loved him. I trusted him and I believed in him for six long years — until I found out...

Other books in this series:
Trophy Murders combines truth with fiction in an action-packed crime story while delving more into my life after going to live with Uncle Henry (the cop) and his heavy-handed wife, Olivia.

Cutter's Revenge, again mixes truth with fiction as I continue my story after being adopted. While another serial killer stalks our little town, I'm living a dream as I write my story's ending the way it could have been if...and it's an ending my fans love!

All my books are based on or from events in my life and have received 4 and 5 star reviews. Books are wonderful gifts, and any or all of my books would be a great gift this Christmas for yourself or for a loved one. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays to all my friends and followers! My wish for everyone is peace and joy and an abundance of love and precious memories this Christmas season.

Thank you for all your continuing support this year! I look forward to meeting many more new friends in the coming year!

THE BOOKS:

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...

Other books in this series — creative non-fiction/crime fiction:
Trophy Murders is not only an action-packed fiction crime story, but I take you deeper into the journey of true events after going to live with Uncle Henry (the cop) and his heavy-handed wife, Olivia. A life I wouldn’t wish on any kid!

Cutter's Revenge continues my story after my adoption, mixing truth with fiction. Anyone who’s read the other two books will know what’s true and what isn’t. 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, and happy ending!

My Newest Book — non-fiction:
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. This book is also available in audio with Beth MacEwan narrating, and she did an amazing job bringing life to each poem and story. It is awesome!

NOTE: Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival is NOT a cozy, feel-good book. It's a true story of extreme child abuse and my struggle to survive. It contains strong language and heartbreaking content, but it was my life.

The language is toned down in the other books in this trilogy, and the abuse isn't nearly as intense or as often, plus tossing in the serial killers does make for a very exciting (even a bit twisted and sadistic) read.

Turning to poetry for a time, in From The Heart I expose feelings never shared before.


All my books are based on or from events in my life and have received 4 and 5 star reviews.
