Hi!
You might wonder why a sweet woman like me writes dark books focused on fictional serial killers. (The Darkness and the soon to be published Last Breath).It's simple--the whole thing fascinates me.
Having confronted the dark side, I now have the experience of knowing a sociopath or two. One was a serial rapist that threatened to kill me, ("I'll only murder them if I have to."). Another was an ex-liife partner. I've communicated on a deep level with remorseless, compassionless humans with no conscience or authentic emotions. And I have learned from these experiences and more.
The Beautiful Evil and Dream are both psychological suspense novels that have paranormal elements. The Beautiful Evil is based on the myth of Pandora's Box. Dream is a tale about a shapeshifting tribe that can only be accessed by dreams. No serial killers. They are both multi-award winners.
The Darkness won the 2024 Page Turner Book Adaptation Award, with a prize of The Darkness being adapted to a screenplay. This psychological/suspense thriller is now adapted. Besides last year's award, The Darkness is a Pageturner Long and Short List Finalist, Book Awards finalist (one of eleven finalists), Pageturner e-book award finalist, and the Readers' Favorite Five-Star Award. The Darkness has won five other writing awards as well.
The Darkness is Book 1 of the trilogy, The Legacy of Darkness. Book 2, Last Breath, was just completed, and The Becoming, Book 3,is in development. All serial killers.
My award-winning books include a novella, six novels, five short-story collections, and one book of poetry. Published in magazines including Readers Digest, Redbook, Penthouse, and also college textbooks, my work has also been included in several anthologies. As editor-in-chief of the Redwood Writers 2018 anthology, I supervised the creation and publication of REDEMPTION: Stories From the Edge. An article I wrote was optioned twice for TV’s Movie of the Week, and I appeared on the Jane Whitney television show to discuss my article, “A Victim’s Revenge.”
Besides writing, my professional focus is developmental editing, content editing, and copyediting. I am also a watercolor artist, and, as I said, a sweet woman.
