My book - An Occupational Hazard - which is available in paperback has now also been made available on Amazon Kindle. As a UK author I'm intrigued by the growth in ebook sales in USA , it will be interesting to see if the more conservative British take to this publishing form with the same enthusiasm.

Growing up poor in the small town of Vicksburg, Miss., Alexander Devereux didn't have much. But there was no lack of remarkable personalities, each of whom left an indelible imprint on his life. Gar Fish & Long Gravy collects the stories, insight, tragedies, and uproarious wit of an unforgettable cast of characters. Meet Granmama Lia', whose hard-won wisdom on life, love--and mistresses--is dispensed to in her kitchen to her beloved grandson, sometimes over Johnny Walker Black. There's Ms. Peaches, who raises chickens in her ramshackle hut yet might be one of the richest people in town. Big Daddy is an imposing hulk, but his massive frame hides a vulnerable past and humiliating secret. Ms. Annie Laurie is a fabulously wealthy white woman who never had children of her own. But her love rains down on young Alexander. And that's just for starters.

Based on real-life experiences, Gar Fish & Long Gravy is about the mistakes we make, the loves we share, and the stories we tell each other that make us who we are. And it is the touching story of a boy who ultimately breaks free of the poverty and abuse of his extended family, yet never forgets the important lessons he learned along the way. As Grandmama said, "If sense were common, everybody would have it."

About the Author, Alexander Devereux

An ordained minister, he works in the administrative field of higher education. Devereux is at work on his second book, a follow-up to Gar Fish and Long Gravy. He lives in Atlanta.

Hello; I am considering Kindle.

Book Description: How can we have less pain and suffering in our lives? Is it by avoiding or by embracing our feelings?

My book "Emotional Health: The Secret for Freedom from Drama, Trauma, & Pain" is an owners manual describing practical methods to release your physical and emotional chronic pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

This book shows you how to embrace your feelings rather than continually avoiding them. This skill once mastered brings us relief from suffering, for in-stance feeling empowered rather than victimized.

The book shows you how to become more aware of your critical, negative self-talk and how to change it to have more success and happiness rather than having your unconscious sabotage you.

This book shows you how get in touch with your wounded inner child and begin healing that emotional part of you that in the past ran your life with repeating patterns of drama and trauma.

This book shows you how to recognize your codependent patterns in abusive relationships and how to begin recovery by becoming aware of your needs and feelings and expressing them and also by practicing setting healthy personal boundaries.

Finally, this book shows you how to recognize your unconscious shadow the parts of ourselves which we dislike which healed reveal new strengths and creative abilities.

Other books in my genre of health/mind/body explore one area of improving awareness and releasing pain and suffering to improve your physical/emotional health. I, however, give you five areas with stories, techniques, and tips for greater happiness and success.

The Secret for Freedom from Drama, Trauma, & Pain takes you on a journey through the lives of over twelve people who have endured years of physical and emotional suffering. They describe how to release trapped emotions such as anger, depression, and grief from the physical body, as well as chronic physical pain. People also describe healing deep-seated wounds from sexual and mental abuse, as they encounter a growing empowerment for the first time in their lives.

Through reading and using the methods in this book your emotional health will improve, you will gain greater awareness of your emotions and how they affect your thoughts and behaviors. You will learn more about your strengths, as well as your weaknesses and how to turn them into strengths. You will increase your levels of self-esteem and confidence.

You will gain skill in taking charge and managing your emotions in healthier ways. Most important, you will have greater choices to be proactive rather than reactive as you did in the past and suffered at the mercy of emotional dramas. In addition, you gain the ability, as well as understanding to express your feelings and needs easier. You will also have and maintain healthier relationships with better communication, work with less conflict with others, and manage your own conflicts easier.

My purpose is to inspire you to heal and increase your self-awareness and happiness. If you see or feel that this book could benefit people I would appreciate your vote and support.
