I rejected organized religion but longed for a relationship with God/Spirit. One day I had an epiphany of supernatural proportions that forced me to go in search of myself, my spiritual …

Under Arrest by Tom Parks is a true story of a young rebel who gets arrested and ends up behind bars. It tells of the 10 months out of the author’s life and 10 months where he witnessed just how cruel people could be to each other. More a nuisance rather than a proper thug, this is an insight into the young, mis-guided mind. The law-abiding general public never see the inside of a prison cell, receive a prison sentence, or be on the wrong side of the law. Harrowing and emotionally stark in places, perhaps that public should know …

Since my book Matters of the Mind…and the Heart, the trend toward care of the person with Alzheimer’s has shifted from mainly finding a cure to a focus on improving quality of life for both the person with the disease and the caregiver. I became a caregiver this past decade. It is quite different being a family caregiver from teaching other families how to manage relationships throughout the caregiving journey. Some of those lessons were featured in Matters of the Mind. This book continues telling of many more lessons I learned. It is a personal account. The hope is that …

The title of this book – A Life Without Edges – is the best way I can describe what my life became following a very damaging and vicious sexual attack when I was sixteen. Like most stories, mine developed over a period of time, twenty-five years, in fact. It took several traumas for me to develop the numerous masks behind which I retreated into my own fantasy world: a place where paranoia, internal voices and imaginary friends became my reality, and obsessive/compulsive and self-harming behaviors became my tools of survival. A complete mental breakdown was the catalyst to my recovery …
