Mommy's Little Monster


Book Description

When 14-year-old Anne meets Brian, 19, she’s captivated by his good looks, guitar-playing skills, and bad-boy persona. Despite their age gap, what starts as a slow-burn friendship ignites into a sexual relationship and then marriage—all overshadowed by Brian’s demons. Mommy’s Little Monster: My Journey with the Narcissist is a memoir of the 28 years Anne spent with Brian. Pulling from years of journal entries, Anne details how her day-to-day life was warped by a man suffering from multiple issues such as paraphilia, narcissistic personality disorder, alcohol and substance abuse, and criminality. Told with intimacy and immediacy, Anne tries to gain a deeper understanding of her co-dependency in this real-life cycle of emotional and physical abuse. In doing so, Mommy’s Little Monster explores why she continued to love and support Brian over the decades.

Sympathetic Little Monster


Book Description

Poetry. African American Studies. LGBT Studies. 2017 Lambda Literary Award Finalist in Transgender Poetry. Through a combination of lyric, narrative, & fractured essay, SYMPATHETIC LITTLE MONSTER attempts to make a space & a shape for the little girl who haunts our cultural/ personal narratives about blackness & transmasculinity. As a trans coming-of-age text the work is intensely inward-focused, but it resists the imperative of linear autobiography. Instead, it uses the personal as a tool to explore what kind of thing a "self" is, its relation to trauma & objectification, & its capacity to be multiple.

A horse-riding accident and many crazy spells later throw mother and daughter into both a tragic and comical cauldron of change. How much difference will it make? And as one thing leads to another and madness threatens to engulf their small world...will magic save the day? Enter the almost familiar world of contemporary magical realism written by an author with first-hand experience of modern witchcraft. This book is alive with laughter, magical possibility and the challenges and realities of life.
