About the Author

What brings me joy above all things, is touching lives. Meeting random
people and having Spirit share with me what I can say to uplift their lives
is incredible! Every encounter is a precious gift, even the challenging
ones.

Spending time with my hubby of over three decades is sacred to me. Watching
my daughter learn and grow from everything she encounters as an adult is
fascinating. I don’t worry about our future when I notice the choices
she makes. All is well.

My favorite activities are going out to dinner, going for walks with joy in
my heart, and watching movies that inspire me. I also look forward to Spirit
waking me up in the middle of the night with a new chapter for us to write
together. What an amazing gift my life is. I hope that you enjoy this book
given to you by my Angels and Guides.

EXCERPT

While aging is a natural process that everyone experiences, understanding the factors that contribute to aging can help researchers develop strategies to promote healthy aging and potentially extend lifespan. We’re going to examine and discuss these factors in layman’s terms (since I’m not a scientist or a doctor) in greater and hopefully easy to understand detail in the pages to follow.

FUN FACT: The villain of our story is a vile, crusty curmudgeon called “Father Time”. As I’m sure you are fully aware, Father Time isn’t our friend. He’s a bully who loved to torment me until I learned how to put him in a headlock and reinvent myself into a guy who could fight back. (Most bullies learn to leave you alone and find weaker prey once you punch them in the nose.)

Off Edge Virtual Book Tour

Young Adult Contemporary

Date Published: 09-26-2024

Publisher: Black Rose Writing

Do you know what it’s like to win an Olympic gold, then have it stripped
away? I do.

Gold is every figure skater’s life dream. At fifteen, I experienced the
thrill of wearing the medal for a few minutes until judges accuse me of
being too young to be eligible. That’s when I realize my father’s ultimate
lie could cost more than my title.

During our daring escape from Russia, I pressure my coach to tell the truth
about my adoption. But the quad combination and two world titles aren’t
enough to keep the scandal from erasing my career and identity. Disgraced,
disqualified, and devastated, I can’t face a rink, fans, or daily life. My
controlling dad’s betrayal lights a fire to break free from his bad
decisions. My best friend and a journalist who will tell my story step in to
stop the downward spiral and help me uncover my past.

The story of Docia’s fierce determination to discover her true identity,
unerase her career, and find the passion to skate again will engage teen
readers, figure skating fans, and anyone who’s ever experience betrayal from
someone close.

EXCERPT

“He’s trying to help you.” Her voice switches from authoritative to desperate. “He’s still your father. He cares about you.”

“Funny way to show it.”

“That’s not fair, Docia. He has given up so much for you.”

“Yeah, like what? And ruined my life in the process. You’re not even my real parents. I’ll find them so you don’t have to worry about me anymore.”

There’s no usual cheerful response. In fact, Mom says nothing. Her mouth goes from gaping open to shut. The muscles in her face tighten when she clamps her teeth together. Then she walks away, leaving me looking down from the top of the stairs.

I slam my door, lie on my bed, and squeeze my stuffed penguin, Fred. The fiery orange sun peers through my window and hovers above the horizon. As it slips away, the words Lily said as we left the rink replay in my head. “It’s time to face this.”

How can I? I’ve done nothing on my own. Mom tells me when to study, when to eat, when to sleep. Lena makes every skating decision—when to practice and how long, ballet, strength training, programs, music. And Dad’s like a symphony conductor who directs it all. He tells me what to think, who to trust, what to strive for. I always do as I’m told. When I do, everyone’s happy.

They lied to me. Ripped away everything I knew. My parents. My country. Everything I am. They left me on a giant empty stage for everyone to stare at. The imaginary crowd laughs at me, “Look at the fake. What a freak!”

I squeeze Fred as an ache sets into the pit of my stomach. How do I know who to trust anymore? Who can help me show I did nothing wrong? Prove I’m not an imposter?

The Salvation of Henry Maxwell Virtual Book Tour

Gothic Thriller

Date Published: September 18, 2024

Publisher: Wild Rose Press Inc.

Henry Maxwell, once a celebrated figure in Gothic horror cinema, finds
himself trapped in a life of grief, resulting in severe depression and
hallucinations after the tragic death of his wife, Lillian. Maxwell’s
battle with reality sets the stage for his emotional and psychological
exploration. The novel captures the essence of a man haunted by his past,
struggling to find solace.

Jessica Barrow, the young attorney appointed as Maxwell’s
conservator, and David Grovene, a film studies professor with a penchant for
sixties B-movies, form the central supporting cast. Their involvement in
Maxwell’s life brings a fresh perspective to his plight, blending elements
of clinical psychology and film history into the story.

The setting itself acts like a character, reflecting Maxwell’s
internal turmoil and the Gothic essence of his past. A mysterious serial
killer adds a layer of creepiness mirroring scenes from Maxwell’s
films interweaving the past and present, making for a compelling and
suspenseful read.

The Salvation of Henry Maxwell is a unique blend of Gothic horror,
psychological thriller, and detective story. The Salvation of Henry Maxwell
is imbued with a sense of tragic grandeur and serves as an underlying
commentary on the ephemeral nature of fame and the enduring impact of
grief.

EXCERPT

The room melted into a haze and Maxwell went into a dream—a dream so full of joy and happiness—a dream with Lillian, vivid with sensual smiles and radiating tingles, frolicking beneath the moon, playing hide and seek among the statues. He sensed her tenderness, her gentle touch that would greet him after a trying day. But it was on set, his films that kept overriding this sweetest of dreams. Films offered security and a wonderful life for Lillian and himself. This man Tony, this sleazy Dago, insinuating things about his work, bad things. Maxwell began to sweat.

… the old olive building, how can I forget? The bloated body in the cellar, grotesquely rotting, eyeballs resting on his maggot-squirming chest. The director had planned well. Herbert Bass, yes, I remember his name. He pulled a coup with the grotesque corpse. I wanted real eyeballs, gleaming and shiny, dripping with vitreous, maybe from some real corpse. No, Herbie called for glass ones, like marbles. His only mistake in my opinion. Come to think of it, Herbie died several years ago. A fantastic director, eyeballs or not. I must say that scene outclassed Vincent Price’s Morella. Oh, we had such positive competition, Vincent, and me, all in good fun.
