Because it’s been such a big part of my life—and being in recovery from it is something I work to maintain every single day— learning more about chronic pain has become a passion of mine. I have spent years researching trends, reading books and blog posts, participating in online forums, and fielding questions posed by other people in pain who have contacted me for advice.

I’ve also had the good fortune and privilege to be able to experiment with hundreds of pain recovery ideas over the years—both the traditional and the wacky—personally test driving their effectiveness.

Since there are so many people in pain who are in crisis, I felt it important to share the information I’ve learned, especially since people with chronic pain are often misunderstood and underserved by the medical community.

My goal with this book is simply to give hope to people who don’t have a lot of it right now. I have been incredibly saddened over the past five years watching people from my pain community succumb to their pain—either by suicide or from complications related to their use or overuse of opioid prescriptions.

When my pain was very bad, I remember feeling very hopeless, alone, and at the end of my rope. I don't want anyone else to have to feel that way. If this book can keep even one person in pain from falling through the cracks or taking their own lives, this project will have been worth the effort.

This book has an excellent premise and a great FMC. Right off the bat, you're pulled in and recognize that this is a totally unique story.

This was a fun read and Lucy is a pretty great hero (and Howie is an awesome side kick who could have used a bit more screen time). I enjoyed that this wasn't so much book about a necromancer, but of a girl who is forced to become one to save other p ...more

This was light and fun, with the whole "ability to predict your soul mate" angle lending some intrigue. The love triangle was a little silly since one guy is clearly the better match, but I'm not looking for deep realism here. The FMC wasn't my favor ...more

This was fascinating. Like any good Minnesotan, I've heard this story. It was great to read all of the details. In particular, the author did a great job of putting history into context (like when some insights on wave mechanics explained that one of ...more

TBH I wasn't terribly familiar with the details of Cleopatra's story, so this provided some nice groundwork delivered with enough creative window-dressing that it didn't feel like a history lesson. It is true that the titular hero still remains a lit ...more

I loved, loved, loved this book. I had no idea this creature ever existed and I really enjoyed the first section, where it was discovered and then when it was catalogued and rendered for people to see. But then the story wandered into the woman who p ...more

I thought the premise sounded amazing, but the story had such a dreamy quality that I found it a little hard to connect with, personally. However technically, the writing is beautiful.

This is a strange book that defies easy categorization. The concept is pure fantasy--a dam is being released that will flood a small town, but rather than move, the residents decide to all live underwater. But strangely, in the future, no one in the ...more

This book about a writer/editor who takes a job at a TMZ-esque website, didn't necessarily real like satire to me. Instead it seems more like a cautionary tale, as our hero starts to take too much pleasure in the dopamine hits from identifying scanda ...more
