Blackout: A Look Inside Wernickes

by David J. Steele

Wernicke’s Encephalopathy was almost the end of the line for me. This is a first-person narrative of Wernicke-Korsakoffs from the inside, the patient’s point of view, from the time drinking took its toll, until today when few know I have Korsakoffs. I don’t have the answers to why I recovered when others don’t, but if you’re interested in how the disease feels to one who went through it, this book is for you.
I believe there is hope for those with the disease.

"I live with my wife and a couple of cats in the thumb of Michigan. I was born and grew up in Kalamazoo, and attended Eureka College as a Ronald Reagan Scholar. While in college, I had the pleasure of mentoring under authors Clive Cussler, Terry Brooks, and Stephen R. Donaldson. After seventeen years professional service with the Boy Scouts of America, I decided to try something new and write novels full time."
