The beast of my life has not been satisfied by my most recent Autobiography “The Forgotten Son” and although I am very proud of the work I have put out giving the reader a picture of my whole life, there is one piece that still affects me each and every day and that is my depression and my anxiety along with other ailments that plague me, which deserves attention for the reader and allow to completely speak about it and it deserves its own book.
I am in the process of working towards getting the beast out of me and kill it, but has been difficult as this new project which will be a memoir, is both painful and therapeutic for me. The book will be raw giving the reader a true picture of what I continue to struggle with, but it must be said not just for my sake, but for my family and those who choose to read, to you know you are not alone although it feels like you are.
If there is one book I would hope this memoir would mimic be that of Susanna Kaysen who wrote Girl, Interrupted. Although our stories are different and having never read her book, but watched film that would the idea way I would hope readers could see my struggles. I found the film very well done, but it will my own unique writing style and layout.
I hope to have the first draft completed with four months with hopes of a release towards fall 2025 and if I could release it on national suicide prevention day that would be ideal, but only time will tell.
