Book Description
A horrifying childhood. A devastating disease. In his darkest despair, he finally found hope... Lewis Kempfer nearly destroyed himself searching for something that would make him happy. His battle with self-hatred began with physical and psychological abuse from the trusted male adults in his life and continued into adulthood when the church rejected him for being gay. Traumatized and suicidal, his only salvation came from getting himself on stage. Moving from city to city in search of fame and love, he lands in the dog-eat-dog-world of Hollywood showbiz. But a terrifying diagnosis casts a dark shadow on a promising Tinseltown career, and he falls into a downward spiral of dangerous liaisons and hardcore drug addiction. It will take a near-death overdose in his blackest hour to find strength from the last place he ever expected... Don't Mind Me, I'm Just Having a Bad Life is a raw, rapid-fire account of one man's frightening journey to self-acceptance. From dicey sex clubs to crystal meth motels, Lewis holds nothing back in this bittersweet tell-all. His emotional tale of love, loss, and redemption will move anyone who's ever felt alienated or outcast. It is a shockingly candid true-life story. If you like authentic narratives, stories of triumph, and surmounting the challenges of being LGBTQ, then you'll be enthralled by Lewis Kempfer's riveting memoir. Winner of the 2021 IndieReader Discovery Awards for the Category LGBTQ+ Non-Fiction, recipient of a 2021 Gold Medal from Literary Titan; 2020 and 2021 Winner of the Silver Medal for respectively, Autobiography and LGBT, from the Reader's Favorite International Book Awards; Finalist in the 2021 Page Turner Book Awards, and an Honorable Mention for Memoir in the 2019 Writers Digest Self-Published eBook competition.

Book Description
'I Had a Black Dog says with wit, insight, economy and complete understanding what other books take 300 pages to say. Brilliant and indispensable.' - Stephen Fry 'Finally, a book about depression that isn't a prescriptive self-help manual. Johnston's deftly expresses how lonely and isolating depression can be for sufferers. Poignant and humorous in equal measure.'

Book Description
Brenda James, Rachel Tims, and Lee Jordan are three very unlikely best friends who produce the perfect formula for trouble as they fight for the love of a married man, a single man, and a man who must R.I.P., all while they struggled to finish their last year of college at Peaton University, located just 120 miles away from Atlanta, Georgia. The East Coast -Visitor Brenda James, whose first love Greg left her with a broken heart instead of a marriage proposal on a hot summer night after finding out about his new lover, and unborn baby on the way with her best friends’ sister. Rediscovering love was not lost for long; she would meet Theo Shell a stranger who would explore her precious temple; which allowed her to embrace her womanhood. Before graduation she would need to choose between a life alone, and an unexpected marriage proposal. The West Coast - Native Rachel Tims, a woman with quiet strength and startling beauty, whose ambition to become a lawyer led her to quench her thirst for success in the arms of a man who was torn between her and his home. Her millionaire lover Phillip Daniels placed the world at her feet, yet she must decide to step forward or step away from what her heart was leading her into. The Southern - Peach Lee Jordan used lustful married men as she roared like a lioness in pursuit of her prey. Yet, her “manizing” ways made her fall for a much older married lover Sergeant Ethan Robinson, whose death would cause her to abruptly change the way she embraced love. Making wrong and right decisions would predict these women’s futures. JUST GOING THRU SOME THANGS together is what they must do to get to the next “journey” in their lives.

Pages : 390
Book Description
In the past decade, depression rates have skyrocketed, and one in four Americans will suffer from major depression at some point in their lives. Where have we gone wrong? Dr. Stephen Ilardi sheds light on our current predicament and reminds us that our bodies were never designed for the sleep-deprived, poorly nourished, frenzied pace of twenty-first century life. Inspired by the extraordinary resilience of aboriginal groups like the Kaluli of Papua New Guinea, Dr. Ilardi prescribes an easy-to-follow, clinically proven program that harks back to what our bodies were originally made for and what they continue to need. The Depression Cure program has already delivered dramatic results, helping even those who have failed to respond to traditional medications.

Book Description
Inconception: The last thing on his mind was her red hair...Doctor Richard Bradford was fading, his eyes focusing on a lone point, an atom or a spark of luminosity that faded into strange psychedelic hues as his eyes tightened and his life leaving him forced his focus. In an atomic world there was no color as the neurons in his brain went out like exploding stars in the sky. It was as if the universe was going black and one tiny star remained in it all, one tiny dream and desire of a dying man. His eyes lingered on that point of light, questioning, oh this is what it is like and that moment.
