Memoir..True Crime  Inspirational ...California Law
Published by BERKLEY BOOKS, an imprint of Penguin USA

"This book is truly a page turner....
a shocking account of  deception and betrayal."
In her page-turning memoir A DANCE WITH THE DEVIL: A TRUE
STORY OF MARRIAGE TO A PSYCHOPATH, Barbara Bentley weaves
a story of how fairy tale dreams, trust and hope collide with the
crazy-making world of
psychopaths and domestic violence.

Psychopath -- the word evokes fear and reminds us that serial killers
stalk our society.  Alarmingly, most psychopaths are not  killers like
Ted Bundy or John Wayne Gacy, or even killers.  Recent studies
reveal psychopaths
(a.k.a. sociopaths) permeate our everyday lives as ordinary people
who move through life wreaking havoc on unsuspecting victims.

As frightening as this revelation is, it is Barbara Bentley's hope that
her compelling story will help others recognize the psychopath’s
deviant behavior before it’s too late for them.  

Lessons learned are lessons to be shared.  Through personal
experience, Bentley shows in her book that inspiration is culled
from mayhem, hope shines light through darkness, and strength
emerges with belief in
one’s journey.

Welcome to my web page where my goal is to educate  the
public about psychopaths (sociopaths), and to provide links
to agencies and websites that can help a victim after an
encounter with one.  

Psychopaths look for their victims at work, at church, at
organizations, and in romantic relationships.   The best
defense against them is knowing how they operate.  

I also share my writing journey for my book A DANCE WITH
THE DEVIL as it shows how passion, planning, patience, and
persistence can lead one to success.  

Thanks for visiting and I hope you find all the pages
informative.
