  Me Too: A Therapist's Journey to...

  A story of trauma, survival, and healing, narrated in the author’s own voice. 
  This gripping and emotional journey takes you through Demarra's triumph over the adversity of complex childhood trauma into a life rooted in joy, purpose, and love.  
  Demarra’s earliest memory of trauma came at six although the violence she witnessed at the hands of her stepfather was present long before that. By the time she was thirteen, Demarra experienced eight Adverse Childhood Experiences which nearly caused her to take her own life. Many people, including professionals positioned to help her, such as her therapist, had written her off, as she endured nearly all-consuming pain that only trauma and grief can bring.  
  More than thirty years later from that first memory of trauma, being a successful therapist and entrepreneur, and a wife and mother, Demarra realized that she too, had deep healing to do.  
  This awakening caused Demarra to start again, leaving behind everything that was familiar to her, including a loving husband of fifteen years, and moving into uncharted territory in search of herself, and all that had been lost. 
  As a therapist and holistic practitioner, Demarra offers insight for readers seeking to overcome past trauma and live abundantly in every area of their lives. But equally important, it’s for those charged to support survivors so they can begin the healing process immediately. 
  As listeners journey through the story, they are left with a resonant and hopeful promise, an assurance that, no matter who we are, and what we’ve been through, the path to healing and joy is not only possible but part of our birthright and inherently worth pursuing.

  England in the time of his boyhood was a cold and colourless country. They had seen to that, the Autumn Men. They who had been lifted high, the old men of his country and other countries, who in the autumn of their years, reflecting on the unfulfilled promise of their youth, and their failures as yet unredeemed, feeling as any old man adrift alone on a small boat, sails broken, oars lost, swept hopelessly onward towards the deafening roar of the approaching weir, might feel, decided that too few had sweetly and honourably been called. So call out the young men, wide-eyed and brave of heart, to don uniform, bid sweethearts farewell and forfeit their future. And murder in the name of God. Until they too are harvested 'neath the Autumn Men's sickle. And the lark song is stilled as passing bells are heard anew. ------------ No longer could the innocent look to the heavens for salvation, only look on in horror as the devil poured the contents of hell over them. And so it was and so it remained until Satan, who had found refuge in the hearts of too many, was cast out and the women had cried.."enough!!" ---------- And on countless memorials in towns and villages across the cold and colourless country, new names were added to the old and memorials once again were baptised with tears of the innocent for the innocent. And in the great city as the weak winter sunshine filters through the mists of an early November morning, the Autumn Men in their black coats and polished shoes still stand, shameless, in solemn line to bow their heads and lay poppy-lit wreaths, mankind's apology to its youth. ---------- This then was the wasteland of his boyhood. One from which he would spend the rest of his life trying to escape.

  Bonaparte & Brimstone - a life...

  Napoleon Bonaparte’s defeat in 1815 came at an inconvenient time for John Monk, an ambitious young naval officer. Forced to rethink his plans, John turned to the merchant service, where he encountered storms, shipwreck and even piracy as he traded between Liverpool and the Mediterranean through the 1830s and 1840s.  ‘Bonaparte and Brimstone’ is the fascinating and engaging biography of a little-known Georgian naval lieutenant and mariner from Parkgate on the Wirral and brings him unforgettably to life. Vibrantly written, it is the beguiling story of one man’s hopes and fortunes, and is ultimately an emotional tale of family and belonging, enriched with abundant personal documents, among them the remarkable diary of a stormy voyage to Italy in 1824. John Monk saw ten years’ service across the seas of Europe and survived the horrific bloodshed on HMS Impregnable during the Bombardment of Algiers in 1816, but he grew dismayed at his lack of progress and battled the Admiralty just as he had once battled the French.  ‘Bonaparte and Brimstone’ paints a portrait in miniature of British society in the nineteenth century and of the country’s seafarers who attempted to navigate a path through it.
