About the Author
When I was seven, I was bored. That happened a lot when I was a kid since I’m an only child! I whined to my dad, “I’m bored!” His response, with a magnanimous wave of a hand, “There’s a bookcase. Go get a book.” So, I grabbed the biggest, brightest book there (a college biology book) and began from the beginning. It took a long time, a looong time to finish that book. Never one to do anything by halves, I wanted to be an actress, a vet and an astronaut–simultaneously, of course–but decided to be a horse trainer instead. (Really? A horse trainer? Yes, what of it?) No, I’m not a horse whisperer. A horse doesn’t care what you whisper at it. A horse wants apples, carrots and cookies. Especially cookies. Just like people. I’m also not a cowgirl (cows scare me!) and I don’t race my horses. Sigh… I’ve heard it all a million times! LOL Anyways, my mom was a reader, books tucked everywhere around my childhood home, and my dad was a writer, little half-finished stories under the coffee table and between the cushions. I’ve acquired both habits on a grander scale (remember, nothing by halves? LOL) and have boxes of books above your head filling up a whole room and my computer hard drive filled up with bits and bytes of half-finished stories. It’s a disease, I kid you not!
The Bittersweet Series:
The Bittersweet Saga is a three book character arc about the last, remaining members of a government endorsed, pseudo-syndicate style family, not of blood, but of bond. At the hub is a misogynistic, torture loving tyrant (The Devil’s Godfather) killed in a suspicious car accident along with his daughter. The first in the series is about Terese, the widow of the Devil’s Godfather, and her guilt about not being able to save the girl. The second in the series (Coming Soon) is about Malice, the dead man’s brother, and his revenge for the death of his brother. Not that he cared about his brother, not even a little, but because the hit taken out on his brother also killed the little girl, an innocent, that’s something he cannot forgive. The third in the series (Coming Soon) is a bit of a twisted mess for both characters.
Their progression from victims of survivor’s guilt, to saviors of the innocent, is the story of every wounded warrior who pulls himself up by the bootstraps and rights the wrongs of the past.
