The worst thing that can happen is to be silent in your opinions. Discussion is the best cure.

The one thing that had the most influence on my writing was the 15 years I spent visiting Satanic Covens and interviewing victims of ritual abuse--yeah, yeah. I know, ritual abuse doesn't exist. Try telling the victims that. Plus I spent time studying White Witches, Black Witches, Druids. I investigated hauntings and have gobs of photos and voices on tape that still blow my mind.
During 2010 I obtained all of the rights on my books from my publishers due to non-payment of royalties. You can't tell me that you have my novels in 48 stores both nationally and internationally and sold only 2 novels during the entire year. Especially since during the 7 years I was with Dorchester, I sold a half million novels under their Leisure Books Horror Line, and have the royalty statements on sales of my 7 novels to prove it. At present I'm considering using AuthorsDen to republish my novels on my own. Soon as I design new covers, I'm submitting them here. If you click on the novels currently shown on my list at this site, linked to publishers, you'll be faced with a dead end. However, keep checking AuthorsDen Bookstore for my titles.
Birth Place: Peekskill, NY USA
Accomplishments: I was on the Dean's List every semester in college. Awarded Phi Alpha Sigma and Alpha Beta Gamma. But I had no common sense. LOL Also won awards from civic organizations for my investigative reporting of scams perpetrated by county officials while living in Florida. I'm also a state and county licensed teacher who taught Adult Ed classes in high schools, libraries and AOL.
