I Forgot Me
About I Forgot Me:
“I Forgot Me” by Cecilia Okugo is a compelling exploration of self-discovery and personal transformation. The book begins with the protagonist, Umay, grappling with a profound sense of lost identity as she gazes into the mirror, seeing a stranger instead of herself. The narrative delves into Umay’s journey through various relationships where she constantly adapted to meet the expectations of her partners, ultimately losing sight of her own passions and desires. The book intricately portrays how Umay’s endless giving and self-sacrifice in love left her feeling empty and disconnected from her true self.
As Umay’s story unfolds, the reader witnesses her gradual realization of the importance of self-worth and boundaries. Through chapters like “The Chameleon Effect” and “Emotional Rollercoaster: Giving Without Receiving,” Okugo vividly illustrates the emotional toll of Umay’s self-erasure and the resultant burnout from unreciprocated love. The narrative is set against the vibrant backdrop of modern-day Istanbul, providing a rich cultural context to Umay’s experiences. Her transformations to fit the molds of different partners—whether as a corporate maven, a muse, or an academic—underscore the destructive nature of losing oneself to others’ expectations.
The turning point in Umay’s journey is marked by her conscious effort to reclaim her identity. “I Forgot Me” highlights the steps Umay takes towards self-rediscovery, such as revisiting her artistic passions, engaging in intellectual pursuits for her own fulfillment, and setting firm boundaries. The book emphasizes the importance of balance in relationships, where giving should not lead to self-depletion but instead foster mutual growth and support. Cecilia Okugo’s narrative is both a cautionary tale and a beacon of hope, encouraging readers to maintain their authenticity and prioritize self-care amidst the complexities of love and relationships.

What do the readers have to say about Different Prisons?
A Journey You Never Expected to Take, But Will Cherish
I have loved this story so much. It will make you laugh cheer and cry. And what is so special is that you will meet and fall in love with the author along the way. I confess I have never spent much time thinking about the lives of prisoners, or caring either, but this story opens up that world and despite yourself you will care in a way you never have before. It’s rare, I think, that a book or story teaches you so much, including about yourself. Highly recommended. A must read.
I Truly Love This Story
I like watching movies about what life is like inside of prisons. But, I realize Hollywood tends to exaggerate things to make a film more exciting. So, I decided to try this non-fiction Vella written by a guy who teaches felons inside prisons. I love this story! It is so real. He gives the reader insight into the day-to-day life of a prisoner. I give this story my highest rating and recommend you try it, you will be hooked!
Fresh and New
This is the most honest look at life on the inside of a prison I have seen. The accounts are real, and so raw. They are honest and allow you to feel everything the author and his students feel. A story filled with insights into somewhere most of us will never go. Well worth your time and a gripping read.
A Story That Enlightens You
I’ve become enlightened by the stories of those who are/were incarcerated for whatever reason. I’m inspired by those who chose to better themselves while serving the sentence they been given. Yes, I believe most everything is a choice. A choice to do what is right, a choice to take the higher path, a choice to believe the best of others. Doctor D’s experiences show what society may say is irredeemable truly is if one only provides guidance to the light.
A Powerful and Deeply Moving Story
It’s wonderful how you created Writing and Reading Clubs inside the Prisons where you worked.Bravo! Doctor D. You offer so much interesting insight into prison life. I respect what you do so much. What a great story and Journey this is.I agree that respect is the core of so many things in life. I can only imagine how important respect must be for the convicted felons. I love your addition of prison-themed poems. They are so raw and moving. I know exactly what you mean when you talk about different kinds of prisons. I have imprisoned myself with negativity. Your ability to struggle through to reach these men is inspiring to read. How lucky those guys in prison are to have someone like you to teach and guide them. If one man finds a new life after prison because of what he learned from you, then that one man is reward enough for anyone. Your heart for education and service is crystal clear and what you have to share is so appreciated.I have learned so much about the life of inmates. Thank you for sharing this amazing story!

SON OF THE SIREN by Kristina Elyse Butke
SON OF THE SIREN by Kristina Elyse Butke
Sometimes love is a curse, a twisted, unnatural obsession.
Such is the dark magic of a siren’s song, the power of which half-siren Lirien witnesses for himself as he watches his mother sing his father, the King of Ardeth, into the sea. In a fruitless attempt to reverse his father’s fate, Lirien sings the siren song himself, not knowing its true power is seduction. Instead, he ensnares his stepmother, the Queen, with its hypnotic melody.
When Lirien refuses her desperate advances, she turns to forbidden magic to force her love on him. But wishing upon a havoc stone is an invitation to chaos. The queen’s own son and daughters, Lirien’s beloved siblings, are whisked away and transformed into animals. They flee the kingdom, and Lirien chases after them, his beautiful voice also gone.
Through elven mountains, fae forests, and siren waters, Lirien will stop at nothing to find and save his family. Threats come at him from all sides, but there are allies, too—Kitra, a shapeshifting fae fox who vows vengeance on the Queen for killing her brother, and Brandegil, an elf who can awaken the sacred sword Alibrandr to help break the spell on the children.
Together, they’ll bring the stars raining down from the heavens if that’s what it takes to save Lirien’s family, but there’s still the matter of breaking the spell on the Queen. And Lirien’s own deadly curse haunts him should he stray too long from the sea.

The Amorphan Effect by K. E. Brungardt
Shapeshifting is impossible.
(It’s not my only secret.)
About to embark on a two-week journey to a far-off planet to become an exchange student at an alien university. I’m honored and thrilled to be chosen for this first-of-a-kind adventure.. But seconds before departing, Mom tasks me with uncovering the truth of how my brother, Devon, died on the same starship many years before.
I’m not a detective and Mom knows it so she must be desperate. I have very little to go on except an illegal copy of Mom’s memories that she pressed into my hand at the last second. How she expects me to find the answer all these years later baffles me, but, hey, it’s Mom so I’ll try in spite of the danger.
Early in my journey with four other human students, I find out the hard way that I am a shapeshifter. This is huge because there are no others like me. At all. I don’t know why or how but I know it’s real. Is this new ability somehow connected to my brother’s death?
My sentient, telepathic hair and shapeshifting abilities are definitely assets during my investigation—as long as I can keep them hidden from everyone else, human and Imurian. But, when I uncover a deadly conspiracy, I need help—but who among my classmates and the Imurians can I trust?
With only two weeks onboard for this journey and very few clues, can I solve Devon’s mysterious death? An even bigger question is how do I keep my strange abilities secret and can I survive their discovery?
If you’re looking for your next incredible new syfy read, check out The Amorphan Effect. Featuring an unsettling mystery, a shapeshifter in space, and an evil plot, this YA coming of age story has you covered. It even has a cat-like alien race that controls space travel.

Donald Trump in the Footsteps of Adolf Hitler The Dangerous Parallels Between Trump and Historical Dictators – A European’s Perspective by Geir Sivertsen
Donald Trump in the Footsteps of Adolf Hitler The Dangerous Parallels Between Trump and Historical Dictators – A European’s Perspective by Geir Sivertsen
Donald Trump in the Footsteps of Adolf Hitler is a detailed exploration by Geir Sivertsen, a Norwegian who has lived and worked around the world. The book captures his initial intrigue with Donald Trump’s direct approach to complex issues, such as his dealings with North Korea, and his subsequent realization of Trump’s potential dangers to democracy.
Sivertsen discusses Trump’s transition from a reality TV personality to a political figure with authoritarian traits. The book is rooted in facts, personal observations, and a deep analysis of Trump’s impact on American values and democratic structures. It examines his methods of leadership, his divisive tactics at rallies, and his heavy reliance on misinformation.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Sivertsen highlights the critical issues at stake: the economy, the weakening of the justice system, abortion rights, voting rights, immigration – and the looming “Project 2025.” He presents these as not just political choices but as decisions that will define the future of the country.
This work challenges readers to look past the daily grind and consider the broader effects of their electoral choices. Sivertsen encourages a factual approach to politics, urging Americans to make informed decisions based on reality—not propaganda. His book is not just a critique but a call to action, aiming to educate and inspire pro-active engagement in democracy.
