THE TRILOGY

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

Living a life on the run, hungry, abused and terrified ... so terrified that I split into multiple personalities ...

This is a truly unforgettable, unnerving story of extreme child abuse and my fight to survive ...

Dedicated to all survivors of abuse, Bitter Memories was written in the hope that exposing these horrors of my own life would educate people and help prevent them from happening to others.

This book is not suitable for everyone! Please read the "NOTE" at the bottom.


2) 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:

Trying to deal with problems at school, continuing 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 ...

But, by not telling the truth, he's afraid his secrets will destroy his own life ...


3) Cutter's Revenge (psychological thriller/crime fiction) mixes about five percent truth with a lot of suspenseful fiction. However, anyone who’s read the other two books will know truth from fiction instantly.

Using many of the same characters, I introduce several new characters — many you’ll love, some you’ll love to hate:

A man believing he has amnesia walks the streets trying to remember who he is; where he came from. In reality, he has blackouts where one or more personalities take over his life, leaving him with no memories of that timeframe ...

As another serial killer, maybe more ruthless than the gang of killers from the previous book, stalks our little town, I continue my story after my adoption, then I lean more toward the way my life could have been IF ...

Officers from area towns join the chase, pursuing a vehicle to a house on a hill. Once inside, the officers stumble upon a delusional maniac hiding in the basement, and a gruesome sight upstairs ...

Henry opens his heart and soul, praying I can forgive him as I learn the truth ...

Turning years of tragedy into a fantastic and exciting read, I bring this part of my story to a close, and with a happy ending!


My Newest Book:

From The Heart (non-fiction) is a collection of fifteen inspirational poems from events 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 now ...

Also available as an audiobook, From The Heart is not only inspirational but truly awesome to listen to as Beth MacEwan, the narrator, brings 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 struggles to survive. It contains strong language and heartbreaking content, however this was my life and,
to tell it any other way, or to cleanup the language, would take actual truth and turn my story into lies — something I'm not, and wasn't, willing to do!

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

All my books are based from actual events in my life and have received 4 and 5 star “not paid for” reviews.
