Tollesbury Time
Nothing is real
And there's nothing
To get hung about
sing the children...
In September 2008 I accompanied the police as they entered a house in Tollesbury. I was a psychiatric nurse at the time. The owner of the house was one of my patients. He had not been seen for two weeks - neither had his wife or his son.
What I saw that evening will stay with me forever. On the walls of the lounge, in tiny, neat black writing, were thousands and thousands of words. The torch beams picked them out as if they were groups of well-ordered flies. The words continued up the stairway, onto the landing walls and into the main bedroom. I had been in the house before and had seen some of the writing upstairs. Still I was mesmerised.
What you are about to read are the words that I saw on those walls. I have ordered them into chapters and taken the liberty of providing chapter headings. I have inserted two documents midway through which I trust will make sense when you come to them.
I have since resigned my post as a community mental health nurse and no longer work in psychiatry. The patient of whom I speak is called Simon Anthony. I have met him only once - yet he is, and will always remain, my hero.

Ok, I guess I should throw my hat into this ring too...!My name is Angelo Marcos and I've just published my first psychological crime thriller - The Artist.
It's not a conventional crime thriller in that my focus is more on how the events of the book effect the characters, rather than being a straight-forward whodunit - although this is definitely part of it too.
The story revolves around a serial killer known as The Artist who gives actresses a perverse trade off - they get Warhol's fifteen minutes of fame, but that time will consist of the last minutes of their lives.
Meanwhile, 14 year old Kaylin lives with her mother Kimberley, an out of work actress. One night at a friend’s house, Kaylin discovers that a man is murdering actresses all over the city. She tries to warn her mother but is promptly dismissed, sparking a spiral of rage that will ultimately change both their lives.
The book is available as both an eBook and paperback, and the Amazon link is:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Artist-eb...
It's had some really positive reviews, both on Amazon and on various other websites. Some of the nice things people have said are:
“a well paced, well-written and exciting novel, with an incredible twist at the end that few could possibly anticipate” - DustJacketGang.com
"a real page turner, with twists that will stun you. Thoroughly enjoyed this one! " - Iconicgifts.com
"...similar to Shutter Island in that it causes the reader to reconsider a number of events in the book...a tense psychological thriller" - Parikiaki.com
Oh, and for anybody that does read it, then any feedback would be very much appreciated!
Thanks everyone!

Here you go!There are at least 16 personalities inside James Darrell Williams. But who is he really? And why? “Which One Am I?” is a singular story about universal truths, horrors and grace. Setting their work apart from other memoirs, the authors explore the nature of family and how Darrell – and all of us -- are shaped by culture, history and geography. After two years of research, Darrell and his partner Thomas Smith dug deeply into family secrets, Southern culture and Darrell’s own psyche to explore portrayals of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) in popular culture and the psychiatric community, linking them with the events that made Darrell the man he is.

'UNSUNG' Just released, the third and final book in series, 'Undone'.Unsung
I like the literal meaning of 'psychology'; the 'study of the soul' (psyche). The study of the soul is beyond psychology as it is understood, the science of the mind. In my opinion, psychology, like everything else, is paradoxical. It is both a science that can be rationally understood. And it is a mystery that is spiritually revealed.
As such, the diary has both an ordinary voice grounded in daily reality, and a voice peculiar to the voice of the mystic.
Both are authentic.

Okay - I am actually going in a 180. I am promoting my craft business, because this is the business that helps pay for my books and other cost that relate to school- right now it is just on Facebook-still working on my other two sites but trying to put it all in with school and being a mommy makes it a little difficult! https://www.facebook.com/GiftsByVaugh...
So sorry to hear about your grandson, Jeanne. Our book deals with similar abuse which lead to Dissociative Identity Disorder. I hope he gets all the help he needs.
Hi, I'm a member of several science and history groups but I just recently found this cool board. Anyway, some of you might be interested in checking out my memoir, Intrusive Memory, which is about overcoming sadistic child abuse and PTSD to accomplish my goal of becoming a physician. It's just a self-pub, but has gotten six favorable reviews on Amazon and is available on Kindle and in paperback. Hope you enjoy it!

Guises of Desire - a biographical novel exploring the early history of psychoanalysisMy novel Guises of Desire, based on the case of Bertha Pappenheim, the 'founding patient' of psychoanalysis, is now out on Kindle.
Vienna 1880. A wealthy young Jewish woman falls ill, manifesting a series of bizarre symptoms. Diagnosis hysteria.
Her doctor, Josef Breuer, treats her with hypnosis and a new form of therapy called the 'talking cure'.
Some of her symptoms abate. At the same time the treatment arouses in Bertha a turmoil of primal emotions which spiral out of control and ultimately lead to the breakdown of her relationship with her doctor.
A vividly imagined account of the case of Bertha Pappenheim – the ‘Anna O’ whose treatment formed the basis of Freudian psychoanalysis – Guises of Desire presents the story of a young woman’s struggle to survive a repressive upbringing, neurological disorders, drug addiction and a pathological attachment to the doctor who misdiagnosed her.

Amazon review:
Guises of Desire offers a fascinating insight into the beginnings of psychotherapy. The book is both interesting and captivating: Interesting, because Reilly's obviously detailed research pays dividends and captivating, because the well drawn character of Bertha demands that the reader lives through her trials and tribulations.
If you enjoyed "A Dangerous Method", you will love "Guises of Desire".

I'd like to respectfully suggest we consider reading Craving: Why We Can't Seem to Get Enough Since the group focuses on the study of mind, I think its a great fit.The book reviews the neurobiology and psychology of why we crave, is heavily referenced and provides and evidence-based exploration of why we crave, what we crave, and what strategies are most effective in diminishing craving frequency and intensity. I'm an addiction psychiatrist and former medical director of Hazelden, so I include many relevant and compelling real life examples.
Based on your recent book club choices (phantoms in the brain, oliver sacks, welcome to your brain) I think its right-in-line with the readership.
Let me know if I can help or if you prefer author participation in the discussions.
Warmest,

Thanks!
TrollI'd like to offer my newest novella, TROLL, to SOTM members who enjoy thoughtful fiction. Troll is 68K words, about 200 pages in paper. I will provide either a paper review copy or an ePub, Kindle or pdf version. Here's the pitch:
At what point did humanity learn to fear each other? To hate? Paleo-Anthropologist Ariel Connor thinks she knows. She just can't prove it yet, but her newest find, high in a Norwegian Valley may give her the proof she needs. Those scary stories we've told our children to keep them from roaming too far outside the gleam of the porch light may have come from real incidents, many, many years ago. As Dr. Connor's excavation continues, the story of what happened is slowly revealed.
Two clans are converging on the remaining game lands. One will have to leave their homes, one will tell stories and sing songs of their own bravery. One people will disappear while another will bring their history into the modern world. One way of life will be lost, but does the better way endure? What have we learned from the ancients that would have been better forgotten?
I look forward to hearing from you. Please send me a message here on Goodreads.

(Long Beach, CA): Thomas Smith and James Darrell Williams will be bringing their new book, 'Which One Am I' to a series of events in Southern California with a little help from long time friend Kelly Z. Laced with a few songs from Kelly's new CD. 'Plain Simple Me' , readings from the book will be shared to audiences as they learn about Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) through the story of Darrell’s life growing up with multiple personalities.
The tour launches Wed, Jan. 23, 7 p.m.at Cahuenga General Store (5510 Cahuenga Blvd., North Hollywood, California) with more dates throughout California to be announced. (Please see complete list of dates above.) Thomas, Darrell and Kelly will be signing books and CDs as well as taking questions following each free event. Audience members wanting to avoid a potential sell-out are encouraged to pre-purchase book, CD or both at WhichOneAmI.net and KellysLot.com.
‘Which One Am I?’ is no standard memoir. From the beginning of the research – annotated in the eight pages that end the book – the writers dedicated themselves to unraveling the social and family functions that caused Darrell’s multiple personalities. Most of Darrell’s story occurs in West Memphis, though he also experienced life-changing events in Memphis itself where, as an abandoned teen, he found solace as a drag queen and eventually found his way out of the South and into Long Beach.
Kelly Z has a knack for writing songs about others with empathy and a keen sense of the suffering she feels in others. She will blend the songs from her fresh new acoustic CD ‘Plain Simple Me’ with Darrell's story. This unforgettable evening of words and music will allow audience members to dive into a world that will tear at the heart and teach you about the struggles of souls living on society’s edge.

Wow, there are a lot of great sounding books listed here. I'm definitely going to go buy a few.I wrote a memoir about sex work, called Whore Diaries. It's just $2.99 on Amazon, and it's been ranking in the top 15 in Amazon's Social Psychology category for a couple weeks now! I'll paste a little excerpt below:
I look at the camera he brought. It’s one of those old fashioned ones with a spot for a little tape. There is no tape in it, and he swears it’s not recording anything and he can’t get off without it. I don’t see any place for a little digital card or anything. He says that he used to have baby monitors, which the whores weren’t afraid of since they never record, but one day he got pulled over driving, and the floor on the passenger side was filled to overflowing with porn and baby monitors, so the cops thought he was a pedophile. They took him down to the station for questioning and he explained to them that he was not at all interested in children. Just that the only way he can get off is to watch prostitutes’ feet through a camera screen, leaning over to sniff them sometimes. The prostitutes didn’t let him use digital cameras or anything cause they didn’t want to be recorded. The police advised him to ditch the baby monitor and get an old camcorder like this with no tape. They were mean to him, too, the female detective kept asking if she had nice feet, and they all laughed at him.
First he rearranges the lamps in the room for optimal lighting, and then we sit on the edge of the bed and he sits on the floor. He points the camera at our feet and tilts the screen up so he can watch it. He sets one of my shoes next to him, and one of Mac’s shoes in his lap, both of which he sniffs deeply. He asks us to lie down and not look, he doesn’t want us seeing him. We would laugh. The poor guy is so embarrassed, and the worst part, I think, is that the whores who laughed at him probably didn’t mean to hurt his feelings. They just misread him as having a humiliation fetish. So we lie back, expecting him to start licking and sucking our feet, like most foot fetish guys. But nothing happens. We look at each other questioningly and whisper, “is he touching you?” “no, is he touching you?”
“I’m just looking,” he says, and in responding I take the opportunity to peek. He is, indeed, looking at our feet in his viewfinder and jacking off. I lie back down and Mac and I make funny faces at each other and try to remember what time we started and what time it might be now. Then he has us stand up, so he can see the muscles in our feet. We stand and point our toes and go up on tiptoe and down and turn and wiggle our toes. He moves the camera back and forth between our feet, gasping at this realization of fantasy.
I think this is when I realize that this is not just a foot fetish and it’s not just a camera fetish. It’s a toxic mimic of a foot fetish, of a real, participatory sexuality where you touch and connect with other human beings. It’s a couple levels removed from actual experience, an obsession that leaves him empty and always wanting more. That’s why these things are so addictive – you think you’re getting what you want, but it’s just a toxic mimic of the real thing. Really, I just want to jump on his cock and look deep in his eyes. I imagine holding him and making eye contact, or at least give him a foot job, but the poor guy would probably jump out of his skin if he had to interact without a camera between us. This is exactly why I want to be a whore, I think...

Hi there everyone,Just to say that my new novel - psychological thriller Sleep No More - is now available as both an ebook and in paperback.
The story revolves around a young woman who finds herself plagued by increasingly violent dreams, which start to somehow leech into her reality.
It is based on my own experiences of insomnia and sleep paralysis (which is where you wake up but find that you are totally paralysed – and yes, it is as horrible as it sounds…!)
It can be so disturbing in fact that it’s easy to feel as though it’s not a sleep disorder at all, but something being ‘done’ to you by some outside force. I wanted to explore this further, as entire mythologies and legends have built up around this throughout history across numerous cultures.
The details are below for anybody who wants to take a look:

Hi everyone,I'm really happy to announce that my psychological thriller Sleep No More is now available for only 99p/99c!
This is my second novel and has been really well-received. It's the story of a young woman - Ariadne - who is plagued by nightmares which increasingly seem to be leaching into her reality.
The line between what is real and what is not becomes increasingly blurred as she finds herself waking up bruised and bloodied on a daily basis.
But are the nightmares really seeping into reality, or is she suffering from some psychological disorder?
Unable to trust herself , Ariadne finds herself in a deadly race against time, because the next time she falls asleep, she might not wake up again…

Hey guys, after about six months of work (fun), which included going through 50+ publications from the field of social psychology, my new Kindle book is finally ready. It's for all those who are curious about how the mind works and want to learn more about psychological effects such as the placebo effect, chameleon effect, actor-observer bias, effects of music on the mind (including a look at the popular Mozart effect), ... The book contains links to the original studies as well as an appendix to help the reader understand the quantities commonly found in scientific publications (mean, standard deviation, p-values). No prior knowledge required. I had a great time writing the book and learned a lot about myself and people in general in the process. Hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
Note for Kindle Unlimited users: the book is included in the Kindle Unlimited library.

I am nice. I am respectful. I am not a number nor spam. This is cause promotional. I can see nobody has posted here in months and probably this post is a meaningless pee in the Amazon River. But let the book that I just published be known, since this is where I can leave one without being reprimanded. This is to inform, and entertain- but mostly to drop knowledge: Kids are hurt in residential placement meant to protect them. Dead, Insane, or in Jail is my book, and that was the range of options that was threatened to me- if I ran away. I'm not unique there are thousands like me- they couldn't put years into explaining it to you, as I do. Based on a true story, erase this post if you must, but this read can change things. People say its good, this is goodreads.com- look us up.

Hi!Last year saw the publication of my book, "MiXED NUTS or What I've Learned Practicing Psychotherapy." It has been described as an "...insightful psychology memoir told with humor." I have been quite happy with how it has been received.
"My wife and I were still up at 2 AM reading this book... and I had to be up for work at six!"
"What an astonishing book. You might be fooled by the cover into thinking this was anything but a serious look at psychotherapy, but under the irreverence and the humor, Mr. Cormier shows that he is, in equal measure, earnest, compassionate and wise. I'm reminded of Oliver Sacks at his best."
"I loved this book. I couldn't put it down and was often laughing out loud. I am a therapist but you certainly don't have to be one to click with this book."
"This book helped me more than all of my years in therapy. Even though it's written using simple words, it's a true masterpiece."
"Cancel all your appointments, ignore your family, call in sick, and prepare to read this in one sitting!"
"Rick is gut-busting funny in the way he presents these serious cases. Excellent read!"
"Rick was a bit hard on psychoanalysts. I suspect poor potty training." ~Sigmund Freud
As a word of warning, if you cannot imagine seeing humor in the human condition, "MiXED NUTS" is not for you.

Warnings Unheeded reveals the missed opportunities to intervene before a mentally-ill, former Airman committed mass murder and a reckless pilot crashed a B-52 bomber during an air show practice mission.
The book makes extensive use of the troubled airman's journal entries and medical records to paint a vivid picture of his decompensation and progression toward violence.

Hi everyone,For this week only my psychological thriller Victim Mentality is only 99c/99p across all ebook formats!
I wrote this novel as a way of exploring the concept that we are all victims of our own minds - that we do what we do because we are compelled to rather than because we choose it.
You can read the full blurb below:
“If you love psychological thrillers, you must buy this book!” – Amazon US Top 50 Reviewer
A criminal genius. A comedian on the edge. A secret that should have stayed buried…
Nick’s life is about to change, and not for the better.
After his comedy and acting agent lands him a film role, Nick meets with a prisoner to help get into character.
Enter Gideon Matthias, who explodes into Nick's life like a nuclear bomb.
Gideon is a criminal genius with an almost superhuman gift of perception. A man who beats other inmates to death while describing the emotions they're feeling.
The first meeting changes everything for the two men – for very different reasons - and Nick finds himself drawn into Gideon's chaotic world.
As Nick battles his inner demons and tries to get his life on track, Gideon contends against his own enemies inside the prison – one of which he’s crossed too many times.
He may be a criminal genius, but even a genius can bleed. And so can his new friend.
The lives of Nick and Gideon are on a collision course, and there’s only one way out for them both...
I hope you enjoy it!
Angelo
