Author Interview with Jayne Dough of The Blue Abyss


We would like to introduce you to Jayne Dough, she has written an amazing book, which tells her story of surviving Domestic Violence, but hers is a story of what is known as "Officer Involved Domestic Violence" or OIDV for short. It is well known and documented how Law Enforcement Officers here in the US can be incredibly violent and abusive to their spouses. It is people like Jayne writing their stories, which sheds light on what was so rarely spoken about in the past...


Hello Jayne, I'm so happy you were able to do an interview for us...


Thank you, for the opportunity to chat with you about something very intimate and dear to me my book, “The Blue Abyss: a true story of a Domestic violence survivor within the executive law enforcement community”.


Please tell us about your book


I am a survivor of Officer Involved Domestic Violence, my abuser is an executive law enforcement official. He raped me and tried to kill me- sharing his master murder plan with his peers within law enforcement. Because of his position of power- no one would intervene. Yes, he still is an executive officer, you see he was never investigated, charged or brought to trial. I have been relocated to several states to avoid detection and been an invisible woman for 5 years.


What made you become a writer? My pen name- is Jayne C. Dough.


medical field when they refused to treat me as Jane Doe, requesting identifiers that would surely lead to the discovery of my current location.


Silly, perhaps- but it was a way to thumb my nose at the Jayne C (which stands for Cookie, by the


way) was not a default program in their system, so I could receive medical attention without alerting his radar. My social worker and I created a system called “The Jayne Dough Patient” system, where a victim could receive medical attention without a name as an identifier- simply a number, so grant funds could be tracked, but the victim could not.
