I’m thrilled to announce the launch of the new website for The Forsaken! It’s still a work in progress, but there’s much more to come.

We’ve just completed our final interview, and soon we’ll be putting on the finishing touches before sending everything off to the publisher. I have to say, one of those last interviews was truly eye-opening, and we are truly blessed that this person reached out to us.

I’m especially proud of the homepage image I created. It features scenes of Simi Valley from that era, including a view of White Face Mountain—one of my favorites. You can see it from nearly every spot in the valley, and it’s always reminded me of home.

There’s also a picture of the “Welcome to Simi Valley” sign. While it may not be the original, it’s very close and stands just outside the housing tract where we grew up at one of the entrances to Simi Valley.

Another photo shows the cross atop Mt. McCoy, a cherished memory from my childhood. The cross was visible from my home and always lit up beautifully at Easter.

Of course, I included a photo of Rhonda and Donnie—the true heart of The Forsaken—along with a newspaper headline from the day after their murders.

The backdrop of all these images is a grove of eucalyptus trees, once abundant throughout Simi Valley. A few still remain today, though not nearly as many as there once were.

The website will continue to grow, so I hope you’ll visit often or subscribe for notifications. Alicia’s and my email addresses are available if you’d like to get in touch.

The website is very easy to find since it is simply named rhondadonnie.com: https://rhondadonnie.com/
