Welcome to Doriot Books, a website which took sixty years to create!
I have wanted to be an author since the second grade and have been writing my entire life. Seven years ago, I began taking all my ideas and stories and transformed them into books I could share with you.
Please note there are two paths for you to choose - Books For All Ages and Ghost Stories. Enter Books For All Ages for my children's books and poetry. Enter Ghost Stories for, yep you guessed it, ghost stories and thrillers.
When my father first read Dr. Seuss to me, I wanted to be him. As I got a little older, my father introduced me to Edgar Allen Poe and I wanted to write stories like him. My stories and books still reflect those early desires and influences.
I think you'll enjoy either path you choose. Thank you so much for reading my books and encouraging me along the journey. I love your feedback so please leave a review on Amazon (it helps my books become easier to find in their system). Also, don't hesitate to contact me via email - I'm happy to discuss any aspect of my books with you!

I am so excited to share that my friend Kasie Oswald has developed a series of Activity Packs for teachers based on some of my Oreo books! You can purchase one for "Oreo and Joan Find Their Way Home" and "I Hope It Snows For Oreo" from her Etsy store. These include activities based around the books you can print from home to bring Oreo's sweet adventures to life. Perfect for classrooms, homeschool

I'm excited to announce that selected poems from "Slowly, I Grow" are being featured as part of Meter - a podcast experience from Daydreaming Network! These poetry selections are professionally narrated and enhanced with peaceful and soothing nature sounds to momentarily transport your mind. I'm so excited for this new way for you to experience these words. You can listen to a sample of Meter for free wherever you get your podcasts or subscribe for just $3.99 a month for unlimited episodes.
Check out my interview with Teacher Kasie on her YouTube channel!
