Share the Pain

About Share the Pain:

A story of tragedy and sacrifice
He arrived in the derelict village as a broken man, having left behind all he once knew and severing his attachments with the world. He wanted to be left alone.

His world now consisted of an old, rundown bed and breakfast and a long-forgotten pub in an abandoned village. His personal tragedy was too much to bear, and he sought an end to it all. Fate, however, had other plans for him, plans that would take him on a journey far beyond his imagination.

Haunted by demons from his past and personal tragedy, his present and past became entwined in unexpected ways. Memories of regret filled his mind, and as he attempted to make amends, he found it was too late.

When he decided to end his pain, his plan took a tragic turn, leaving him lost and alone in a dark, treacherous forest. As the rain fell and the wind howled, his own tragedy materialized, and reality and hallucination became indistinguishable. Only a miracle could save him.

Lost and alone, contemplating a way out, he met a gentle woman with her own painful history. Soon, emotions grew, and despite her love being one-sided, she saw him as her salvation and offered to share her pain with him, hoping to alleviate his suffering. Their fates became intertwined, and he found himself bound by the vow they had made. But when the woman disappeared without a trace, leaving him a circumstantial suspect in the eyes of the police, he regretted ever setting foot in the village.

He was teetering on the brink of madness, tormented by sickening voices in his head as he waited for an end to this harrowing episode of the disappeared woman.

This is a story of love, tragedy, and regret, a tale of redemption and absolution, and the conflict between emotions and actions that can weigh heavily on the conscience. It is a haunting reminder that the past is never truly gone. This story will leave a lasting impression on the reader, offering a profound understanding of the human experience.

The Italian Holiday

About The Italian Holiday:

Struggling writer Keats McCall is Italy bound by Valentine’s Day – but it’s certainly not for amore. She needs to escape her mindless barista job, the four walls of the rented room closing in on her, and the memories of last year’s disastrous break-up. Thank the Roman gods she can pack a bag and passport and run to her sister in Florence, Italy, in the hopes of getting her life back on track.

Keats expected to spend her days meandering through the rain-soaked cobblestone streets of Florence. What she didn’t expect was Lorenzo, who smells of espresso, Italian history and self-assurance, to propel her on an unimaginable journey.

From Florence to Venice, Keats basks in a luscious exploration of Italy and Lorenzo while she tries to figure out if the escapist mindset of an Italian Holiday can duct tape her life back together.

“Oh my God!” The sight of him caused me to jump a little. Of all the ways I expected my day to go, this was maybe the least expected.

“He’s dead!” Callie gasped. I wasn’t sure what to think or what to do at first. I just stared at this man, whom I did not know, lying dead in my kitchen. He didn’t look that much older than me.”

It soon becomes clear that the “Grand Opening Day”, will be one of the biggest challenges Lydia will ever face.

The Tired Child: How Sleep and Sleep Breathing Can Change Your Child’s Life

Kids across the United States are experiencing a sleep crisis. Sometimes, they can’t sleep because of anxiety or too much screen time. But other times, the problem runs deeper.

For some children, the lack of high-quality, restful sleep is due to sleep-disordered breathing. When children can’t breathe properly, they can’t sleep. And a lack of sleep negatively impacts children’s healthy development and puts them in crisis.

The Tired Child provides parents and healthcare providers with a comprehensive look at pediatric sleep-disordered breathing. It dives into why sleep is so important and shares how to get kids the proper treatment if they have a sleep condition, like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
