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 is totally charming.

Yes, it has a gruesome premise...and it does open with our hero snacking on a dead body. But he's a giant preying mantis in disguise as a human man, given a mission to rescue a wizard lost in a demonic sinkhole (which i

What an odd and interesting book. It's not terribly focused on pursuing the fantastic Whys and Hows of romance with a fish man. And honestly? As a middle aged woman, I dug that narrative choice. In this story it's just a thing that happens, because t ...more

I hadn't realized this was an older book, or part of a series, when I added it to my queue. So I approached it as a one-off, and to that end, it's a solid thrill ride.

Some of the characters were a little one dimensional, and the mystery of what's ha

This book kind of let me down a little bit. I liked how weird it was, but I think I was hoping it would have gone a bit deeper into that insanity. It felt a bit like the plot wandered.
