I am pleased to announce the upcoming release of my memoir, *Runaway, Shame*. This book, which I began before writing my autobiography *The Forgotten Son*, focuses specifically on the various forms of shame that I encounter daily. Those grappling with depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder often find it difficult to articulate their feelings or understand their origins. My memoir offers an intimate insight into my experiences with shame and will be released on December 1st.
You might wonder why I am announcing this release so early and why it is scheduled for the end of the year. The reason is simple: I have already released a novel, *The Stricken*, and an autobiography, *The Forgotten Son*, this year. Additionally, I am planning to release my autobiography in three chapters across June, October 2025, and February 2026, as well as a collection of childhood short stories on August 30th. Another novel is also anticipated for release in September.
Given the significant number of publications in 2025, I aim to avoid overwhelming my readers with monthly promotions. While I am not on the same scale as Stephen King, with millions eagerly awaiting his works, I strive to maintain a balance and respect for my followers’ and readers’ attention.
