I work full time as an Investigator for a Sheriff's Office and investigate all felony crimes ranging from murder to theft. I investigate a lot of Domestic Violence Crimes against women. Working with victims gives me a sense of relief when I lay my head down at night just knowing that I have helped others to do the same without fear of Violence. I spent several years in a violent marriage and never had help from anyone then one day after fighting back, I was raising my children in a better atmosphere. Now I am proud to say that I can make a difference in some one's life and maybe they will be more fortunate than I was.
I am proud to anounce my new book "Held Against Her Will" which promises to be one of the best thriller's you ever read. This is a fiction book but is based on Violence Against Women and I hope to let every woman out there know that you really never know what is going to happen in the future. When you take long trips by your self, always think of who is standing next to you and who may be watching you. This is why "Held Against Her Will" was written. To let you know.

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.

My wife shares much in her past with you. She had a bad life until we met, (I hope she's happier now). I write dark psychological thrillers which attempt to 'get inside' the heads not only of the victims, but of the perps as well.
Hi Anne,
Just popping in to say “Hi” and see what you have been up to lately!
Best,

hey anne - i was in portland wordstock (book festival) and heard about book about domestic violence - 'color me butterfly; by L Y Marlow. thought about u and your work; by the way how is your book doing and where is it available?
wow - glad to hear about your work. much needed. i have 2 daughters and the global century-old epidemic of violence against women freaks me out. your work to break the cycle is awesome. i will pass the word. if you get a chance check my book out on amazon 'in their footsteps' - reflections on black history featuring 366 folks - 1 for every day - and i deliberately included as many women as i could find - not easy when you go back in history.
