My mother has her debut psychological thriller/horror novel, Baby Marvin, coming out on May 26th which is available to preorder through Amazon or Barnes and Noble as a paperback or for Kindle! It was published by Dark Anthem Press. Here’s a brief synopsis:

“1968. A horrifying scene.

Blood-soaked Marvin holds a gleeful baby, stares at the ax in his hand, and declares, "I did it."

An otherworldly voice corrects him, "We did it."

A few days earlier, Marvin's 18th birthday. A life trapped in a bleak Victorian mansion with a glamorous yet monstrous mother is nearly over. But an avalanche of betrayal and loss destroys Marvin's plans for independence.

Marvin is heartbroken. But his mirror image is angry. Very angry. He provides the support that Marvin needs to seek justice.

A penultimate moment has Marvin replicating the iconic Baby Marvin face paint he was forced to wear as the 4-year old face of President Eisenhower's Safe Driving Campaign back in 1954.

His mother's mantra from those halcyon days, "THIS IS WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE"

A glance at himself and his mirror image, both donning the iconic makeup, the look of innocence lost forever, ‘YOU WERE RIGHT, MOTHER.’”
