About

I am a self-publishing author with 7 books out.All my novels are available to purchase at www.rosedogboostore.com and Amazon.

I encourage you all to check out my published novels on Amazon, where they are cheaper than buying them directly from my own publishers. I write a bit of everything; Horror is more ME, but I wrote a series of soap operas/romance books for female readers as well as a fantasy book for my pre-teen son. I have been receiving a lot of positive feedback from people I know and am hoping that others will help me pass the word along about my books.

Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<p>My boss ended up reading this book and was highly disturbed.  She said that she could not believe that somebody so innocent looking could write such horror.  She admitted to having skipped some parts because of the gore (and she used to read Steven King novels).  However, she did enjoy reading my novel and resommended it to others.  </p> <p>My co-worker wrote an article about me and this book, which was published in The Suburban's online magazine (March 29 2013 issue, page 19)<a href="http://www.thesuburban.com/article.php?id=1232&amp;title=A-Self-published-Novelist-In-Our-Midst">http://www.thesuburban.com/article.php?id=1232&amp;title=A-Self-published-Novelist-In-Our-Midst</a></p> <p><strong>Comment posted by reader Chrysal on my Facebook novel page:</strong></p> <p><em><span><span class="UFICommentBody"><span>Bloody details and a chase for recognition will keep you awake or follow you into your dreams... if you dare read the book,, mouhahaha...</span></span></span></em><a href="https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=327359027386813&amp;id=341568232621583&amp;comment_id=1485557&amp;offset=0&amp;total_comments=1&amp;notif_t=share_comment">https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=327359027386813&amp;id=341568232621583&amp;comment_id=1485557&amp;offset=0&amp;total_comments=1&amp;notif_t=share_comment</a></p> <p> </p> <p>I got other positive feedback on this book in my personal inbox or Facebook a while back, but eventually deleted the messages.</p>
