    Dr. Liz’ Pocket Book of Poems is subtitled a companion to Dr. Liz’ Life Launch series, which includes her Amazon #1, multi-international, best-selling memoir: Life Launch! Surviving the Storms of Physical and Sexual Abuse, Book One, and soon to be published Life Launch! Book 2: A New Dawn of Healing and Recovery. 
    In Dr. Liz’ Pocketbook of Poems, Book 3, she shares with her reader her entire body of poetry that she has written since she was 12 years old. The majority of these works were written as an outlet to self-soothe during her own teen and young adult years that Dr. Liz recounted in her best-selling memoir: living in abusive environments; navigating the tragic, accidental death of her older, only brother and other family and friends’ suicides; and her own struggles with drug and alcohol abuse. Indeed, in this book she shares through rhyme and prose her struggle to make sense of these traumatic experiences, and further, how they fuel her desire to help others (YOU) find hope, healing and a renewed passion for your lives and know that you are not alone in your journey. 
    This is Book Three of a 3-book series. Life Launch! Book Two (coming soon) will reveal the struggles Dr. Liz overcame during the 2nd half of her life: the suicide of her husband, the death of her father, abusive relationships, and being engaged at one time to a man who later became the Butcher of Brooklyn. 
    15% OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK WILL BE DONATED TO CHARITIES THAT SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH (through the author’s own BJD Memorial Rainbow of Hope Charitable Foundation for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention that she established in memory of her husband, as well as too many friends and family members, who died by suicide or other tragic means).

    It’s 2016, and Dalton Edwards is tasked with fitting in with the locals in Briarton, Ohio. There’s something going on in this rural, sleepy county of only 28,000 people, and his higher-ups want Dalton to uncover it. Easier said than done! 
    Dalton immediately discovers the community is tight-knit, and not easily infiltrated. His boss says it’s a pot-growing operation, but Dalton thinks it’s much bigger than that. Before his assignment is over, eight family members are murdered under circumstances that Dalton knows have nothing to do with a hydroponic weed operation or a custody dispute. 
    As the mass murder makes international news, Dalton is determined to find the murderer (or murderers) and expose the guilty to seek justice for the slain. It won’t be easy, and in the end, one more local will perish. Dalton will not rest until those responsible are held accountable. 
    *This novel is fictional, but based on true events that happened in Pike County, Ohio, in April of 2016. The names and locations have been fictionalized, and the conclusions contained in this work of fiction are purely a product of the author's imagination.

    A collection of five plays by Alexi Kaye Campbell.
    The premiere of The Prideat the Royal Court Theatre in 2008 marked the emergence of Alexi Kaye Campbell as a distinctive new talent. With its bold and ingenious structure and its daring take on sexual politics in the 1950s and today, the play combined thrilling dramaturgy with profound insight into the affairs of the human heart. It went on to win an Olivier Award, the Critics' Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright, and the John Whiting Award for Best New Play, and was revived in the West End in 2013.
    Published here alongside that remarkable debut are Alexi's four subsequent plays, which together demonstrate his rare ability to harness theatricality in pursuit of emotional truth.
    Apologia(Bush Theatre, London, 2009; revived in the West End in 2017), a perceptive look at what has happened to 1960s idealists and their children. 'Sharp, funny, wise and humane, Alexi Kaye Campbell is a writer to cherish' Telegraph
    The Faith Machine (Royal Court, 2011), an exploration of the relationship between faith and capitalism that asks fundamental questions about the true meaning of love. 'An urgent play of expansive ambition and largeness of spirit' Guardian
    Bracken Moor (Tricycle Theatre and Shared Experience, 2013), a haunting tale of grief and denial, set against the economic crisis of the 1930s. 'A superior kind of ghost story… intellectually as well as emotionally haunting' The Stage
    Sunset at the Villa Thalia (National Theatre, 2016), a passionate and deeply personal play about the impact of foreign influence, planned and unintentional, on a nation and its people. 'This play is a winner, a thought-provoking slow-burn story that works on many levels' The Times
    Also included is an introduction by the author.
