During my years with an alcoholic, abusive spouse, my overall physical health gradually deteriorated. In fact, I was well on my way to being as much an alcoholic as my husband. I didn't realize until I left the relationship just how badly the alcohol, the abuse, and the overall constant stress and fear had effected my health beyond the physical abuse.
Domestic violence, as the name implies, is considered by many to be the physical harm perpetrated by one member of relationship on another member, whether it be between husband and wife or parent and child. But there is more to domestic violence, or spousal abuse, than physical attacks. As one who survived and escaped the abuse of an alcoholic spouse, I experienced the full range of different forms of domestic violence. It starts slow, with little things easily overlooked or ignored. A playful smack on the arm can be a precursor to a full speed punch in the face. A rant about a bad day at work leads to vicious verbal tirades, personal attacks that leave emotional scars long after the bruises heal. And if a man will use his fists on a woman one day, he is likely to use a weapon the next day. Based on my personal experience as a victim of domestic violence for twenty years, it is a vicious on-going cycle that does not end until you leave, or end up dead

Some of My Works
When Navy SEAL, Damien McAllister, dropped into her life, he turned it literally upside down. Laurie had never found the love and acceptance she needed from anyone but the daughter who loved her unconditionally. She didn't trust her feelings in the intense situation she'd been thrust into, and she didn't want to risk her heart on a man like Damien-a man who would always be a warrior-and yet what the heart wants it will not be denied, regardless of the heartache that's sure to follow.
When the terrorists re-enter their lives demanding the release of the traitor, Nathaniel Crawford, Damien and Laurie are confronted by the demons of the past. But Laurie has already been battling Damien’s personal demons and his belief that SEALs shouldn’t have families. Can their new marriage survive?

Stunned that she actually had family, Rachel returns after twenty five years to the hometown she does not remember and with Kyle Chandler's reluctant help, finds the answers to her lifelong mystery. Who is she? Where did she come from? What happened to her? Will she finds the remnants of her family, the painful answers to her questions, and the love of Kyle Chandler as well as the passion that has eluded her all her life?
Unable to remember much of her childhood in Locke Ridge, except in the horrors of her dreams, Zoe tumbles into lust with Dominic and, in the course of passionate play, remembers her heritage. She is the descendant of the supernaturals who moved into Locke Ridge when its early inhabitants played with satanic rituals, opening a portal between the supernatural world and earth and releasing evil into the world. Zoe's birth was arranged to either unite warring factions or to, in league with Dominic, defeat Malakai, the evil leader who would rule not only Locke Ridge, but the world.
