About Me and My Book:: I went to a party when I was 11 and didn't get back until I was 45. More than 30 years of drug and alcohol addiction ended with a stretch in prison. When I was released I went to school and didn't stop until I earned a Ph.D. My doctoral dissertation set the foundation for my recently published book, Scumbag Sewer Rats: An Archetypal Understanding of Criminalized Drug Addicts. For more on me, please click here! to read the Desert Dispatch newspaper article that was written about me.

As you can see, I'm a bit behind on my correspondence on this network! So good to know you've included spiritual experiences in your book. I mention Al-Anon in my book, and the mystical quality of the Lord's Prayer as it's typically said in circle holding hands at the end of Al-Anon meetings. It's important for people in 12 Step programs and at other junctures of healing in life, to know that spiritual experiences aren't "weird," that they're part of life as a whole human being, and they connect us to the depth of who we are! Every good wish, Ceci

I am about to begin an author interview program on Internet radio on a developing website called "The Authors' Roost," and yours might make an interesting -- even compelling -- story. If this appeals to you, please get in touch so we can investigate the possibilities. pmcneese@opaauthorservices.com

Congratulations on writing your book and impressively turning your life around. How can we work together to let others know about our books, actually our lifesaving information and stories of hope.
Thanks for adding me to your list of friends. This is such a great site for sharing books you have written or just read and enjoyed with those who enjoy reading. I hope that you have the opportunity to visit my web site. I would love to hear your impression and get some feedback about my site, book and purpose for writing it.

I would love to link your web site to my web site www.LifeInterrupted-nolonger.com . I was wondering if you would be willing to do the same for me?

Thanks and God bless,
Chris

I'm doing a new book that will have Barstow as the site of one scene. Not contemporary Barstow. Barstow in the mid 1930s when there was no air conditioning and Route 66 went right through it. The highway was best driven at night in those days.

My first book came out in September. BUFFALOed. Check it out on Amazon.com.

Good luck on your writing.

Wish you nothing but the best. Bet you'll get it, too.
