“The most insidious and damming breach of trust is elder abuse at the hand of siblings.”

Hollywood, CA (USA), June 02, 2014 — Author and elder abuse prevention advocate Rich Motel will debut his novel “The Curse of Balmoral Lane” (iBooks, Barnes & Noble, Amazon) Jul. 18, 2014. It is the first in a series documenting how sex addicts have been known to abuse elderly parents to maintain their sex habit.

Set against the backdrop of an opulent and ethnically diverse 1980s Los Angeles, “The Curse of Balmoral Lane” brings to light the often ignored symptoms and consequences of sex addiction. The plot depicts how unintended parental misguidance at a very young age influences the life of fictional sex addict Derek Freeman. He develops a relentless addiction to pleasures of the flesh that mushrooms into a full-blown and out-of-control addiction. In addition to mistreating the women he pursues for sex, Freeman financially abuses his aging parents in order to fund that vice. All throughout, he blames family dysfunction for his dilemma and as uses it to justify decimating the lives of nearly everyone he encounters.

Motel is a native Los Angeles resident who strives to raise awareness about elder abuse and its prevention at both the local and national levels. He is active with the National Committee to Prevent Elder Abuse (NCPEA) and co-sponsors a help and support group for the sole purpose of providing assistance to victims of elder abuse. Motel is an alumnus of Long Beach State University.
