Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival (non-fiction) is written like a novel for easy reading, as I tell the true story of my life after being kidnapped by my father, then living a life on the run, hungry, abused and terrified ... so terrified that I split into multiple personalities ... a truly unforgettable, unnerving story of extreme child abuse and my fight to survive ...


Trophy Murders (creative non-fiction/crime fiction) mixes fiction with truth for an action-packed crime story as I take you further on 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 ...

Problems at school, continued nightmares from my past, and a narrow-minded, bigoted Olivia, brings me to a dangerous low in my life ...

After a gang moves into the house on the hill and a murdering spree begins, Police Chief Henry Frye (my uncle) is asking himself how many must die before he catches the ones responsible for turning our quiet, peaceful town into a place of terror ...

Still trying to hide his own secrets and lies, Uncle Henry is afraid if I find out the truth it will destroy me ...


Cutter's Revenge (psychological thriller/crime fiction) mixes about five percent truth with fiction, however, anyone who’s read the other two books will know truth from fiction instantly. Using many of the same characters, I introduce new characters—many you’ll love, some you’ll love to hate ...

While another serial killer, maybe more ruthless than the gang of killers, stalks our little town, I continue my story after my adoption, leaning more toward the way my life could have been IF ... turning tragedy into a fantastic and exciting read with a happy ending!

My Newest Book:

From The Heart (non-fiction) is a collection of fifteen poems from events in my life including short stories that inspired the writing of each poem.

Starting with my first poem written at age nine after the death of my mother, I expose feelings never shared before ...

Also available in audio with Beth MacEwan narrating, From The Heart is not only inspirational but truly awesome hearing my words spoken. Beth did an amazing job bringing life to each poem and story.


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

Trophy Murders and Cutter’s Revenge are filled with action, suspense, drama, secrets, a love story, and more. The language is toned down and the abuse is not nearly as intense or as often, plus my fictional crimes are a bit twisted and sadistic, making for a very exciting, sit-on-the-edge-of-the-chair read!


All my books are based on or from actual events in my life and have received 4 and 5 star “not paid for” reviews. To learn more about the bitter memories trilogy, and my poetry book, plus other books coming soon (just waiting on cover art), please follow the link below to my website:
