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 adult language to put a sailor to shame and explicit content. This story was my life.

Book 1 - non-fiction:
Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival is the true story of my life after being kidnapped by my father, then for six years living a life of hell while on the run, hungry, abused and terrified...so terrified that I split into multiple personalities in order to survive...VERY graphic, adult language!

Book 2 - creative non-fiction/crime fiction:
Trophy Murders delves into my vivid where did that come from imagination to deliver an action-packed crime story about a gang of serial killers; mixing in more truth as I continue the journey after going to live with Uncle Henry (the cop) and his heavy-handed wife, Olivia. A life, by the way, I wouldn’t wish on any kid!

Book 3 - psychological thriller/crime fiction:
Cutter’s Revenge brings a man believing he has amnesia, a sadistic psychopath, and more family secrets are revealed. This book was fun to write while it provided me with the perfect opportunity to get “revenge” against a few who made my life hell. Mixing truth with enough suspense to get the heart racing, my imagination runs as rampant as the stalking killer who brings terror around every turn! Although pure fiction on the revenge it does make for a pulse-pounding crime thriller. You just might find yourself listening for strange noises and things that go bump in the night when you enter Cutter’s Sadistic World...

Trophy Murders and Cutter's Revenge are loaded with action, suspense, drama, secrets, a love story, and so much more. And, my fictional crimes are a bit twisted and sadistic. I hope you’ll enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing these two books.

Next in the Bitter Memories Series
Book 4 - memoir (currently being written)
After Midnight continues parts left out from the other books in the series. I expect, like the other three books, this one will also take on a life of its own before finished as I delve more into my life after leaving home, my involvement with my mother’s alcoholic sister and, what my fans have been waiting for—my big brother—who I touched on briefly in the other books. This story is coming!

Book 5 - non-fiction (not part of the bitter memories series)
From The Heart: A Collection of Poems and Stories, is a book that came from low points in my life while searching for inner peace. It seems I can’t write poetry unless depressed, but these poems are more thoughtful, not depressing. They are actual feelings from these times with short stories about what inspired each poem. Truly written “from the heart” I expose feelings never shared with another person until this book. Also in audiobook, and to listen as my written words are spoken by Beth MacEwan who narrated is totally awesome! For a breathtaking experience grab a copy of the audio version today.
