I know how you feel. I am a full time caregiver to my mother also. She hasn't been diagnosed with Dementia but a lot of her meds make her appear to have dementia. I understand about the long days and late nights of taking care of an elderly parent. If you ever need someone to talk too thats in the same boat as you are please feel free to message me and we will chat.

Now for some of my fave authors... I love horror and paranormal romance so most of mine of in these genres...

Laurell K Hamilton- Anita Blake Vampire hunter novels and Merry Gentry Novels
