About the author
Wendi Bear
7 books50 followersI started blogging in the Fall of 2012 after enduring a lifetime of trauma and neglect from those closest to me. Prior to that time, my world had spiraled into a web of vices, addictions, and self abuse. What began as a healing journey, hidden among the pages of a private blog, soon transformed itself into a way of repairing my inner wounds.
Once I decided to make my stories public, I realized I had attained not only an active audience, but a tremendous support group filled with people who had experienced the same type of horrendous situations I had. No longer was I alone. In fact, I was now a voice for those still stuck in the pattern of abuse.
Unfortunately, the depth of my novels have also exposed my weaknesses to predators. Because I present a no-holds-barred account of my past, individuals with personality disorders see me as the perfect target. Thus, my writing continues as I surpass each new experience and relationship in my life.
My characters express the ugly realities and revelations from each of us. I use my own pain as guided inspiration behind my tales and hope that those who seek truth can find it somewhere within these pages. My words should be greeted with caution, as I choose not to hold back on the grim details. This material is not for sensitive readers and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Of course, no healing could be complete without a twinge of humor. As most comedians do, I find that making fun of myself and others to be a monumental way of releasing built up frustrations and rage. Especially when the jokes are crass and below the belt.
Though I write about my personal experiences; time lines, names, descriptions and sometimes the endings of my stories have been changed in order to protect the privacy of those who have inspired me and, of course, prevent a lawsuit.
As I say in all my books; “This is not a memoir; It is a highly exaggerated piece of filth. Shame on you for reading!”

this is the second time i have read a story going in blind ( as in i didn't know the full details of what the story was about) yes i know it is part 2 of the first book.... but does it have the same banter and craziness? i didn't know until i started reading it. i could not find any mistakes as i read the story of course in all my years of reading if there is a mistake in the book my mind fixes it and i read it the way it is supposed to so mistakes don't stick out like a sore thumb. if i ever had to choose which one i like the best..... can i get back to you on that one? i have to say those that were very judgmental about the first book are missing on a great second book. As I read this I noticed they were all different stories of her life growing up, the men she had met. It wasn't all one story like the first book it was different things about her life that wasn't in the first book. You got to learn more about her and what makes her tick. I loved this. It was wonderful I found nothing I disliked about the book I loved it as much or maybe more then the first one

"It's Not My Fault" is the tale of a woman who's been through insane, outrageous experiences that would have given the late Hunter S. Thompson a heart attack. Wendi Bear has written something that is not only compelling, but draws you in and has you thinking, "yeah, that could just as easily have happened to me." I really enjoyed this and I look forward to more from the author!

Sacrifice & Survival is a unique and emotional look into some of the darkest and ugliest places in life. The reader is quickly consumed within the short stories. The layout of the book is different than anything I have ever read, yet still thought provoking and done in a way that holds the readers interest throughout. Despite the darker feel to this book, it is still riddled with humor and laugh-out-loud situations. Although I hadn’t read the first book prior to this, I was not lost at all. Sacrifice & Survival stands strong on it’s own though I can not wait to download Self Discovery & Admission next!
