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>A mythical jewel of a story… A true story told on a beach in Yucatan, A Shadow tells Stephanie's story but it was also the story of the golden time. Its nostalgia sings like cicadas in the heat.</p><p>An American ‘Under Milkwood’, this distilled novel of the Sixties evokes the sounds, music and optimism on the free-wheelin streets and parks of Coconut Grove. You can hear Bob Dylan still strumming acoustic; smoke a joint with Fred Neil; and Everybody’s Talkin is carried on the wind.</p><p>Stephanie, a young hairdresser living in lodgings finds herself pregnant. Refused help from her hard Catholic mother in New York, unable to abort her baby, she accepts the kindness of Miriam, her Jewish landlady, whose own barren life spills into compassionate assistance for the daughter she never had.</p><p>The poignancy of its ending, its generosity and acceptance, echoes the bitter disappointment of those of us who hoped for so much more, but who remember its joy, and its promise, as though untarnished by time.</p>

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>
