Back Cover Copy for my next book

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 woman 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.


"Cutter's Revenge" will be out in about 5 to 6 more weeks, if all goes well.

BITTER MEMOIRES, THE TRILOGY

BITTER MEMORIES: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival tells the story of events that changed my life forever. This is a story of extreme child abuse, but also about the will to survive.

My story exposes a life on the run after being kidnapped by my father——a life of hunger, fear and abuse. When the FBI finds me and I return home with my mother, I think my life is going to improve...but does it?

NOTE: Strong language and heartbreaking content in Bitter Memories is not suitable for children.

TROPHY MURDERS is the creative non-fiction/crime fiction sequel, and is an action-packed story about a sadistic gang of killers, and the life of the cop (my uncle/adoptive father) who tries to bring justice and solace back to his little town while struggling to keep his own family secrets hidden.

CUTTER'S REVENGE, although mostly fiction, completes the trilogy with another ruthless serial killer stalking our small town. But this time years of secrets and lies are finally revealed ... and an ending to die for...

While BITTER MEMORIES is the actual true story of my life, TROPHY MURDERS and CUTTER'S REVENGE have a little bit of everything a reader will want: action, suspense, drama, a love story or two, and so much more; both mixed with truth, making this a trilogy you will not want to miss.

After reading Bitter Memories you'll know truth from the fiction included in the sequels of this series.

Please visit my website for more about these books, my new poetry book (also in audio), as well as what will be coming out soon. Links to amazon are available on the site for your convenience.

BITTER MEMORIES, the LIES (part 1)

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...

Daddy had lied from the start, even while dating Mama. He told everyone he was an only child, but he had a brother...a twin brother!

We stayed with this brother and his family for quite awhile, but Uncle Frank wasn't a nice man, and his three sons were no better than their father. Staying with them was one of the worst and most terrifying times in my short life...



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 book of fifteen poems written from events in my life. Included are short stories that inspired the writing of each poem. This book is also available in audio, with Beth MacEwan narrating. Beth did a wonderful 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 heart-breaking 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.

All my books are based on or from events in my life and have received 4 and 5 star reviews. Please consider my books as a great gift this Christmas, either for yourself or for a loved one. Enjoy!

BITTER MEMORIES, the LIES (part 3)

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!

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!

ZIP TIES and LIES Coming SOON!

TRUE CRIME

NEW BOOK COMING VERY SOON!

Zip Ties and Lies is the story of the Anderson/DiMaggio coldhearted, coldblooded murder case that started in San Diego, California and ended in the Idaho wilderness, leaving three people and a dog, dead.

Who REALLY killed the Anderson's?

Who's behind the cover up?

Was Jim DiMaggio innocent of murder, arson and kidnapping?

As a kidnapped survivor, I became interested in this case immediately. From everything I've seen and read, Hannah Anderson has not acted like a kidnap "victim" in ANY sense of the word.

More information to follow soon on the actual release date for Zip Ties and Lies.

Go to my website to find my own personal story of kidnapping, Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival, and the sequels: Drowning In Memories, Cutter's Revenge, Trophy Murders, and From The Heart: A Collection of Poems and Stories.

I will also have the cover art for Zip Ties and Lies added to the website in a day or two.

FYI: I am no longer associated with Taylor Street Publishing in any way whatsoever. They also do not have permission to publish any of my books — past, present or future.

HANNAH ANDERSON — Victim or Not? — Part Seven

Written by the author who researched for eight and a half months to get the "facts" on this case, Zip Ties and Lies is the true story — as we know it to be — about the alleged kidnapping of Hannah Anderson and the brutal murders of her mother and brother, Christina and Ethan Anderson, and Cali their dog, and the "firing squad" murder of Jim DiMaggio.

Who REALLY killed the Andersons?

Who’s behind the cover up? That is the question!

A 9-1-1 call to the San Diego police department on August 4, 2013 reporting a two-story home on fire in Boulevard, California is only the beginning of many harrowing events to follow.

After a woman’s body and the body of a dog is found inside a detached garage, murdered, a bloody crowbar next to the woman’s body, the dog shot in the head, the homeowner and two kids are reported missing.

Assuming homeowner, James Lee DiMaggio killed the children’s mother, Christina Anderson—the woman’s body discovered in the garage—rigging his home to catch on fire, he then kidnapped Anderson’s two children, Hannah age 16 and Ethan age 8.

The following day the remains of a child, burned beyond recognition, is found inside DiMaggio’s burned-to-the-ground home. And even this is only the beginning.

After a week-long manhunt, DiMaggio, maybe an innocent man, based on information from San Diego’s sheriff Bill Gore, is then shot down by the FBI in what appears to be actions of a firing squad.

The public has doubts on the validity of what is being told. Stories continue to morph, and more doubts arise. More and more lies brings the question of Hannah and Brett Anderson’s innocence into doubt—at least for the public.

But the story doesn't end here.
This story is only beginning…

HOT NEW BOOK! Zip Ties and Lies, The Anderson/DiMaggio Case: Coldhearted - Coldblooded

HOT NEW BOOK!

Zip Ties and Lies, The Anderson/DiMaggio Case Coldhearted - Coldblooded by Sue Julsen Zip Ties and Lies explores the coldhearted "facts" -- as we know them to be -- of the brutal murders of Tina and Ethan Anderson, police cover ups and screw ups, and the coldblooded "firing squad" murder of Jim DiMaggio, maybe an innocent man, shot down by FBI sharp shooters.

Before briefly getting into some of the details of this case, I want to share one of the 5-star reviews from amazon.com about Zip Ties and Lies:
"It was nice to read new information about the people surrounding this case and theories that weren't discussed earlier. There were some "WOW" moments that left me wondering "How in the world were you able to get that information?" I look forward to reading more of your books in the future! Thank you for taking this one on!!!"


The Anderson/DiMaggio tragedy actually started on August 3, 2013, but it wasn't until after a 9-1-1 call came in to the San Diego police department on August 4th, reporting a two-story home on fire in the rural area of Boulevard, California, that partial information was broadcast to the public.

However, the devastating fire was only the start of many harrowing events yet to be discovered.

After a woman’s body and the body of a dog were found inside a detached garage, murdered, a bloody crowbar next to the woman’s body, the dog shot in the head, the homeowner and two kids were reported missing.

Then, assuming homeowner, James Lee DiMaggio had killed the children’s mother, Christina Anderson — the woman’s body discovered in the garage — rigged his home to catch on fire, he then kidnapped Anderson’s two children, Hannah age 16 and Ethan age 8, an Amber Alert was issued for both kids, stating DiMaggio as the suspect.

The following day the remains of a child, burned beyond recognition, was found inside DiMaggio’s burned-to-the-ground home. And even this was only the beginning.

After a week-long manhunt, DiMaggio was located in the Idaho wilderness with Hannah Anderson. Based on information from San Diego’s sheriff Bill Gore, DiMaggio was then shot down by the FBI in what appeared to be actions of a firing squad.

Since that 9-1-1 call and the "alleged kidnapping and rescue" of Hannah Anderson, there have been more questions than answers, and many, many lies told.

From the very beginning the public had doubts on the validity of what was being told. As stories continued to morph, more doubts arose. More lies and more inconsistencies in Hannah Anderson's multiple "made-up" stories only brought the question of Hannah and Brett Anderson’s innocence into doubt — at least for the public.

And this story doesn't end here. This story is only beginning…

Who REALLY killed the Andersons?

Who’s behind the cover up? That is the question!

Hannah Anderson’s Granny Britt Left In The Dark, Again

As you probably know, my new book Zip Ties and Lies, The Anderson/DiMaggio Case - Coldhearted - Coldblooded came out about a week ago.

What you might not know is that Channel 10 News, San Diego, interviewed me yesterday about the book. I talked for about half an hour with reporter Jennifer Jenson about the book, and I thought at the time it was a nice chat we had. Then, I saw the newscast last night.

During our “nice chat” I told Jenson that I had communicated with Jennifer Willis, by email, a few times. I even went so far as to tell her some of what those emails from Willis had said. I also told her that I did not get to talk to Hannah’s family, (other than Willis), because they wouldn't talk to me, and that Brett Anderson’s publicist wouldn't allow them to speak with me.

However, none of this was revealed in the newscast.

Jennifer Willis has claimed to be on the “outs” with the family because of statements she already made to reporters, so I’m sure she wouldn't tell Granny Britt that she had ever communicated with me! What I didn't tell the channel 10 reporter, at the time, was that I briefly spoke with Bernice Anderson, and her statement is in the book.

Why the reporter called Granny Britt is beyond me. She already knew I hadn't talked with her! But, nevertheless, Granny was called, saying that I had never contacted the family about my book.

Well, let me tell you this: it wasn't for lack of trying to talk to Hannah and her family!

I also informed Jenson that I had talked to DiMaggio’s sister, other relatives and friends of Jim‘s. Again, none of this was mentioned.

To be fair, the reporter should have called Willis, not Granny, but she didn't. One thing Granny stated was true. A lot of Zip Ties and Lies is speculation, as stated in the book, because the TRUTH has not been told.

However, the emails from Willis are comments that I’m sure she wouldn't want to admit to saying, especially to her sister, Granny Britt. Too late! The contents of those emails, as written, are in the book, and they are very revealing.

Find out what Jennifer Willis had to say. Also find out a tidbit of information that was told to me about Brett Anderson’s past. I’m not talking long-ago past on this one. This was in 2010. Also very revealing!

Head on over to my website for links to order your copy today.
