My new book cover for Bad memories

I decided to change the book cover to a more dark and sinister one. The book starts at a mental asylum where patients were abused. The characters were either doctors, patients or visited there. I felt a change was warranted.
this is the exact setting John Miller described in the book about his former job, which he lost trying to stop the abuse.

latest review

Review by: smk on Oct. 02, 2015 :  gave it 5 stars
This is an action packed western, combining all the good points of a story.

It starts with Marshall Allen Johnson’s pregnant wife being taken hostage, with the promise of a safe return, but when the promise isn’t honoured, the story becomes one of vengeance.

I do like a good western, and thought it was a great story with a spectacular ending, I certainly would recommend it.

Review by Linda Strong:

Hi Douglas! Thank you again for allowing me to read and review for you.
Below is my review ,,,and all the links where posted.

Happy Reading!

BAD MEMORIES by DOUGLAS SANDLER

This debut novel by Douglas Sander came as a surprise to me. It started out rather slow .... my first impression was a very sad man married to a shrew who did nothing but whine and complain and expect her husband to do everything. So my first thought was ... he is going to kill her.

When John Miller decides to take a weekend away from the shrew and the monotony of the job, he first has to put up with the wife's complaints. For a change, he doesn't let her conniving ways stop him.

I was still a little perplexed, and then the author started drawing me in. I found out that what I had seen in John Miller was a result of his past. While a doctor at an asylum, patients died because of an incorrect medication dosage.

This weekend he is going fishing with a friend. Unfortunately the friend is murdered. Another man of his acquaintance is murdered shortly after. These deaths bring about ....bad memories.

The story line is unique and became more mysterious and suspenseful the more I read. The characters are multi-dimensional. And once I got into it, I did not want to put it down!

 Many thanks to the author who so graciously furnished a digital copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

A Kiss Before Strangling book 2 of the series

The book blurb to the sequel of A Kiss Before Strangling, titled "A Kiss Before Strangling:Blood Rules."
The killer told his victims, "This is how they do it," he whispered, "can you hear me? Listen! DAMN you, listen." Her eyes were rolling, her mouth twisted with pain as she died...."It's been 2 1/2 years since Sally was murdered, 2 1/2 years since we got her killer, 2 1/2 years and I still miss her." Lieutenant Younger mused.
When they rolled the body over, he froze, a cold shudder shook him. She looked like Sally, but wasn't sally. The bruises around the throat gave him a cold deja vu feeling. Damn, just like the murders 2 1/2 years ago when Sally and the five others were killed. He noticed on her forehead "remember" was written across it. Lieutenant Younger thought was it happening again? Do I have to deal with this again?
Get the sequel to A Kiss Before strangling and find out if the nightmare is starting over again, and if Lieutenant younger can stop it again.
this is the teaser to the second book in the A Kiss before Strangling series. get the first book so you won't miss out when the second is released.

I realize that my books are competing with thousands of other books for attention of readers. I also know that not all readers may like my books, my books and where they are for sale. Please buy, read and review and if your a book reviewer or blogger contact me for (need to see your existing reviews) free book coupon, must be a real and serious reviewer and blogger not a freebie seeker.

A Kiss Before Strangling The twists and turns of this thriller come at the sweetest moments just before the women are killed, just when you are sure you know what's coming! Sgt. Younger stood in the office while the chief & sheriff argued who had jurisdiction Younger wondered will it stop, before the killer kills again; get the book to find out what happens and if the killer gets caught. Get this book to see how far one man will wander from reality! The acts of twisted revenge also drive a man to extremes to right the wrong he perceives, but is wrong.

new marketing for my books and update about me

I joined booksgosocial today and iauthor to help me market my books. I hope book review bloggers will agree to review either of my books and I will send them a coupon to get a free copy to review.

I suffer from Adult ADHD disability of math and WRITTEN expression, inner personal/occupational personality disorder(1995) and schizotypal personality disorder(1995), so writing the books (written in 1998) was tough. I was diagnosed in 2006 with ADHD which is the most serious issue.

I have received two degrees an A.A. in 2010; A.A.S. 2012 and working on my B.A. at FSU Panama City, Fl will graduate May 2017. Going to college has helped my writing skills, but the ADHD is still a struggle to overcome, even on meds.

I hope people will see the books and not the ADHD.

why I want to be like Barrett Brown

I want to be like barrett Brown because he wrote stories that made a difference. He uncovered stuff that people needed to know, and I want to do the same, but avoid jail. I am a semi-new freelance journalist I have 7 articles published and three books; I hope this will get me fans, so when I start to write meaningful stories people will read them.

I can't travel places to cover stories and I don't have the computer savvy to hunt secrets on the internet. I want to be a journalist because I can get information out to people and hopefully make a difference somewhere. This is why I want to be a journalist.

FOR ALL ETERNITY by   on Amazon US and UK... amzn.to/RKN37L from what I see at the Amazon page it looks like a great read and I would recommend it

my thoughts on flatlined sales

I realize that my 3 books have been out for a month and between the two novels I sold 4 of 1 and 3 of another with 2 Amazon ku/koll's, 2 5 star reviews one for each book. Been interviewed on TV twice, radio once and local paper story. I post on 23 or more Facebook groups and tweet like hell, what must I do to get more readers?

I did not publish to be a best selling author but I would like to have lots of sales after all 2 TV morning shows, 1 radio show and a local paper and 2 readers can't be wrong.

": ღღThat Captivates The Mind Tales of the Dragonfly Book II In Flight "

Guns of Vegeagence

This is my fourth book due out May 2015




Why I write as I do

This is why I write and how.

when I write my books I keep it simple I lead my readers into the characters so they can use there imignation to see and get into the characters. I want my readers to get into the book by using there imignation which is more richer than I can write.
I believe in keeping plots simple so as not to confuse readers with very complicated plots, I believe you can write a book, a good book without graphic violence, sex. Look at Stokers Dracula, Edgar Allen Poe, Victor Hugo they wrote great books classics and did not use graphic viloence or sex, but allowed the readers to use their imignation.
I published these books for myself and to share with readers my love a books and reading. I realize that not everyone who buys the book will like it. I keep the book covers simple but enough information as my mind can not get into graphic sex or violence. I have to do covers myself or ask friends to help. This is why I write.

Poems from the Heart

This is my third book a book of poems





Available AT Poems from the Heart

Written by me between 1976 and 2010

Bad Memories

This is my 1st novel




Available at Amazon Bad memories sales link



Who is murdering who in Millersburg? John Miller was a doctor at Allendale Asylum. He was sure he didn’t kill three people with the wrong dosage, but the screams haunt him still. The thriller gives you a tangled web of love, abuse, betrayal, double-cross and manipulative people. The link will suprise you about how the characters are connected.

Also is you notice something strange at the start of Chapter One it is intentional to see if people actually read the book and if they mention in the review I know its a honest review and that they read the book.
