Intense, Raw, Hysterical, Thought Provoking and Hot: The Men Talk Book Series

Sept. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- I grew up on the south shore of Long Island N.Y. Pretty good childhood. From nursery to college, I never really liked school, but I still did a lot of it. At age 18 I almost died in a motorcycle accident. Luckily I was drunk, so I was pretty loose when I crash landed. Having no idea about what to do with my life, I did the Army for 3 years.

I had a desire to help people so decided to go to college. While in school, I started seeing a therapist. I was pretty uncomfortable emotionally, mostly depressed, anxious and very confused. Counseling turned my life around. I also realized that I loved the work and decided to go back to school again to pursue a degree in mental health therapy. I worked as a therapist for years, working with kids, adults, families and clients suffering with drug or alcohol addiction. Loved the job. Hated the paper work.

I started compiling material for the books in 1990 and came out with the first one in 2000. Just after the book came out I went home to help the family. My mom had been fighting cancer for years and the family was pretty burnt. Mom passed 2 years later after a 6 year battle. Pretty rough time.

2nd book, More Men Talk, came out in 07. I was working as a therapist on an acute case lock down unit at the time, and just didn’t have the jam to promote a book.

The basic premise of the book is that a man can read it and see that he is not alone with his thoughts, feelings, fears, pain and desires. A woman can read it and see what’s going on in the minds of men. They can learn about thoughts and feelings that men often keep to themselves and even rarely share with other men.

Currently living on Long Island again. The first two books, Men Talk and More Men Talk have been completely revised and are greatly improved over the originals. I’ve also completed, “Men Talk Again”, which is the third book in the series. All 3 books are available as ebooks through Lulu and will also be available before the end of 2011 as softcover books.
