I know it has been a long wait since I first said this next book would be out in a couple of months.

Well, we hit a bit of a snag with the cover art -- my artist went and got herself pregnant! Her and her hubby are very happy, as am I, but this has slowed things down just a bit.

If all goes as planned, the cover will be done within the next 5 weeks.....just before baby makes her arrival.

So, dear friends and fans, hang on just a while longer. It is a book worth the wait!

In the meantime, if you haven't read the first two books in this series, you have a little longer to get that done.

Fascinating, yet Horrifying
5-stars for Author R J Parker

If you expect a thick book, you won’t find it here, and that is a good thing! What you will find is an overview of many unsolved crimes committed by numerous serial killers. Knowing these killers may still be walking in the shadows is unnerving.

Questions arise when a killing spree ends: Did they die? Did they move? Did they just stop killing? Are they in prison for other crimes?

Questions we may never know the answers to.

Serial killers are calculating. They are dangerous. Some taunt the police, daring to be caught. Others strike and seem to vanish until their next victim surfaces, leaving the question of: will they surface again?

“Unsolved Serial Killing” tells of the FBI and the Profilers who try to put together whatever information, if any, the killer left behind, whatever information witnesses can provide, if any. As you will discover, most of the time there’s not much to go on, leaving law enforcement agencies in the dark, waiting for a break in a case.

These unsolved murders should open the eyes of many. Some might not sleep as well when they discover so many serial killers have never been caught. I hope by R. J. Parker exposing the acts performed by such killers, giving description details when possible, the reader’s eyes will be opened. Pay attention to your surroundings; be observant of who might be lurking in the dark, and hopefully by learning what this author has searched out and put in one convenient place, lives will be saved. Highly Recommended.

Haunting Memories…Secrets…Lies…

A Serial Killer Stalking…



In the last of the bitter memories trilogy, a man believing he has amnesia walks the streets in Haskell trying to remember who he is; where he came from. In reality, Stan Clark has blackouts where one or more personalities take over Stan’s life, leaving him with no memories of that timeframe.



Numerous men and women are vanishing from small area towns. Henry Frye, Munday’s police chief, is at his wits end after one of his own officers’ turns up missing and a “secret” town meeting is called. Henry fears his days as police chief are numbered. He doesn’t know a serial killer will soon be stalking his own backyard.



Jasmine Goldberg, a dispatcher Henry hires from Abilene is determined to find out all she can about the missing people. She uncovers an old Army report with a picture showing frightening, sadistic eyes of a Stan Clark, later nicknamed “Cutter” by the Army.



A car fitting Clark’s vehicle is spotted on the highway, but seeing the patrol car, he makes a run for it. Officers from area towns join the chase, pursuing the vehicle to a house high on a hill. Once inside, the officers stumble upon a delusional maniac hiding in the basement, and a gruesome sight upstairs.



Before years of lies from the past can destroy him, Henry opens his heart and soul to the two women he loves deeply—Lori, his new mistress, and Sarah, his dead sister’s daughter he adopted—praying Sarah can forgive him as she learns the truth.

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

Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival
True Story of a little girl (me) kidnapped by her father, living a life on the run, hungry, abused and terrified...

I don’t even know if Daddy knew how to tell the truth. His whole life consisted of one lie after the other, but two of the biggest lies told to me were:
1) I’ll never hurt you
2) I’ll never leave you
Daddy did both of these, many, many times.

Of course, the first time he hurt me was by kidnapping me, but compared to the other hurts over the years, the kidnapping was nothing! He hurt me by yelling at me, something he never did until after the kidnapping, and he backhanded me a few times, also something he’d never done to me before running off with me.

He knocked Mama around, a lot, but with me, the few months before he took me from my bed in the middle of the night, he just acted like he hated me…like he wished I’d never been born. That hurt, deeply, but even that didn’t hurt as much as what happened the time we stopped at a motel…


Other books in this series — creative non-fiction/crime fiction:
Trophy Murders is not only an action-packed pure 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. While another fictionalized serial killer stalks our little town, I write my story the way it could have been if...turning my life 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. She did a fantastic 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, and tossing in the serial killers does make for a very exciting (even a bit twisted and sadistic) read.

All these books are based on or from events in my life and have received 4 and 5 star reviews. If you still need a gift this Christmas, or would just like a new read for yourself, please consider one or all of my books. Thanks, and Enjoy!

All my life I tried to run from myself. I tried to forget the horrible, unspeakable things that had happened to me as a child, but I couldn’t.

I’d been left with scars from so many bitter memories, voices in my head, and nightmares. Horrendous nightmares that I felt sure would haunt me for the rest of my life.

Starting at age three, kidnapped, neglected and molested—a life no child should ever experience—hurt time and again by people claiming to love me, growing up in the shadow of fear, uncertainty and hate, my heart filled with unbearable sorrow.

Thanks to my father running off with me, I lived a life on the run, starving, abused and terrified. So terrified, in order to survive, I split into multiple personalities. This disassociation allowed me to detach from the abuse as if it was not happening to me.

But, without my other personalities I would have died at the hands of all those people who claimed to love me. Without those voices in my head, there would be no Bitter Memories series; no book of poetry. There would be no me at all.

Most of my life I cried inside while faking a smile. I felt ashamed. I felt the way I had been treated was my fault!I felt alone. Unloved. Unwanted.

My life was a living hell; one of the extreme worst.

As more time passed, I felt my life wasn’t worth living. The pain from my abuse became so intense! My hidden pain became so overwhelming I attempted suicide—more than once. However, the last attempt was almost successful. The doctor at the hospital said, “Another five minutes, I wouldn’t have been able to save you.”

Although unnerving, my story is a gripping account of the extremes a child can undergo—and still survive.

Written from the heart, taking on a life of its own, I relived those memories of heartache, sadness, extreme hunger, and intense fear in hopes of helping other adult survivors find a path toward healing their “hidden” scars before it was too late for them.

My story deals with explosive topics former child victims of mental, physical, and sexual violence will understand, while helping others not familiar with child abuse, or it's effects, learn so they too will know how to save a child from years of pain and sorrow.

NOTE: Bitter Memories is not a cozy, feel-good book. It is a true story of extreme and horrific child abuse and the will to survive.

1) Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival (non-fiction) is written like a novel for easier reading of this difficult subject as I begin the true story of my life after being kidnapped by my father.

2) Trophy Murders (creative non-fiction/crime fiction) delves into my vivid, “where did that come from” imagination to deliver an action-packed crime story; 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 I wouldn’t wish on any kid!

3) Cutter's Revenge (psychological thriller/crime fiction) 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 — and I give you a happy ending! Also, I had more fun writing this book than the other two combined!

My newest book below could be considered a continuation of the series, but without serial killers (darn it). LOL

From The Heart (non-fiction) is a collection of fifteen inspirational poems from other times in my life. It also includes short stories that inspired the writing of each poem. Starting with a little background, then moving into my first poem written at age nine after the death of my mother, I expose feelings I've never shared with anyone before writing this book of poetry. This book is also available in audio with Beth MacEwan narrating.

So, will there be another in the Bitter Memories series? Time will tell, but there just might be.

The Bitter Memories trilogy deals with the “do not talk about” subject of child abuse. While most of society doesn’t want to admit children are abused, within a family the abuse that goes on there is a forbidden subject — always.

Being a survivor of extreme child abuse, my first book, Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival was easy to come up with the perfect title even before the book was written. I don’t remember many happy times growing up, but I do remember the bitterness I felt and the heartache on a daily basis. Still, no matter how badly I was treated, I always had this fight inside of me. I was determined to survive.

The second in the trilogy, Trophy Murders, was a little harder to find the perfect title, and I was nearing the end of writing before it came to mind. Continuing my own story, remembering the murders from my childhood that had never had closure I needed to bring them into focus, but of course, I also needed to give my uncle, the cop, an important role. So, I expose more about my life after the kidnapping while dear Uncle Henry is fighting his own battles — not only with the secrets and lies he’s kept hidden for so many years, but I give him a gang of serial killers to deal with. Will he bring this gang to justice? Will I find answers to the dark memories of death from my nightmares?

Cutter’s Revenge, the last in the trilogy, was almost as easy to come up with the perfect title as Bitter Memories. While writing this book I decided I'd had enough.
I wanted revenge! And I wanted some happiness in my life!
Introducing another serial killer for my uncle to battle, he continues to struggle with years of secrets and lies that he knows will destroy him if he doesn’t confess, but he also believes if I learn the truth that could destroy me.
Of course, there’s a lot more to Cutter than meets the eye. But, with Cutter’s help in this twisted tale of terror, will I get my revenge? Not wanting to hurt me, does my uncle reveal the long-kept secrets and admit to years and years of lies?

NOTE:
Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival (non-fiction) is not a cozy, feel-good book. It is a true story of extreme and horrific child abuse and the will to survive. Strong adult language and graphic content!
