So much to see and do. You can go to the other website, if you would like to hear me read blurbs and excerpts from my books, or you can sample it below. There is nothing special about my voice nor my accent, but I am happy to read the post for you! Just go there and look for places to click. You will be directed to "SPOTIFY" or "Anchor" to listen to readings from my playlists. For the moment, this is new, so it will take a while to grow this functionality. But there are already a few bits available for your listening or read-along pleasure. Look for more soon. The image drawn is an illustration I created many years ago with no one particular in mind. Many years after I drew it, I figured out who it may be.


 


 

I was a tease? Nah! These are pictures that "Zee" took of me. You can read about it in the memoirs I & II, "Michael, Little Boy Black & Blue." Life seemed easier before the complex PTSD came rushing in unexpectedly.

The latest book is out! Book number two of the "surviving" trilogy. "Michael, Little Boy Blacker & Bluer: Surviving the Effects of a Poisonous Child Abuser II," is a companion book to the first memoir that was published earlier. Here's a bit more information! Let's venture into the life of a person who struggles with complex PTSD. It's not all bad! "Michael, Little Boy Blacker & Bluer," is the continuing saga which chronicles the life and the experiences of an LGBTQ+ youth who endured unimaginable mental and physical abuse and violence starting at the age of five, in the early 1960s, continuing through the gay movement and the Anita Bryant years of the 1970s, the AIDS epidemic and its backlash of the 1980s and beyond, which resulted in Michael's development of complex PTSD, BDD, and other health conditions related to trauma. This companion edition covers events and people who were not fully explored in the first memoir, "Michael, Little Boy Black & Blue" as well as providing a deeper voyage into self-healing, and an inside, closer glimpse at Michael's passions. There are dozens of images of his vintage Barbie doll and miniature collections. A lifetime of building and creating! Michael refused to be bound by his past, but he found that it had a way of catching up to him when he least expected it. While his, is a story of pain, loss and torment, it also serves as an example of hope, perseverance and resilience.


There are excerpts from each book on this site. Look carefully to find them. We hope that if you have ever felt different, or ever felt alone because of your upbringing or any other horrible thing that happened to you, which you carry with you now, that you will find inspiration and verification in these books. You will read truths written by a mind that had to adapt and develop differently. Is there a future for people like us? Of course there is! Will it ever go away? No, but we can learn coping mechanisms and better ways to deal with. Michael shows you what works for him, but it is a constant battle. Let's when the war together! Through his journey, he was able to overcome the temptations of suicide, drugs, sexual abuse and torture to become a successful artist, a teacher and a miniaturist, all while searching for someone that he never knew he had lost. This book is a must, if you have read his first memoir. Michael uncovers truths that he was not ready to share in the first book and takes you with him on a frightening ride through a miserable childhood, while remaining calm about it. Are you ready to dig in and see what we can uncover together?
