The Bottom Drawer Book is your after death action plan. Your ideas, plans, and your life's reflections will sit quietly in its pages until they're needed. Then, when you go, there'll be no family squabbling over how much to spend on your casket, who'll tell stories at your funeral, and which songs to play. The notes you make in The Bottom Drawer Book will give your loved ones the opportunity to grieve and celebrate the real you and your honest story.
As modern-day women, we are stressed and over-committed. We juggle motherhood, careers, our spouse's idiosyncrasies, family weirdness, and bizarre neighbors, while figuring out how to pay the mortgage without bouncing the check to cover the electric bill. Such escapades in life drain our stamina. What Lurks at the Bottom of My Panty Drawer will recharge the drained female battery with a quick escape from reality through the non-fiction trysts of Kasey Brooks and her desire to appear perfect although she is terribly flawed. Consider the quick stories to be a momentary happy pill when you are contemplating handcuffing your child to the leg of the coffee table so you can go pee by yourself without sticky fingers wiggling underneath the door.

"A one-two punch! Half kick in the ass, half cheerleading encouragement." —Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art If you are happy being just a dreamer, perhaps you don’t need this book. If you’re enjoying the status quo, don’t even consider reading this book. If you are content waiting for success to find you, please put this book down and go find something else to read. Why has Poke the Box become a cult classic? Because it’s a book that dares readers to do something they’re afraid of. It could be what you need, too. "Is Seth Godin the Pied Piper for however many of us have been afraid to fail? Will I answer his call? Will you?" —Peter Shermeta, reviewing the original edition of Poke the Box
Or What You Will is an utterly original novel about how stories are brought forth from Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author Jo Walton. He has been too many things to count. He has been a dragon with a boy on his back. He has been a scholar, a warrior, a lover, and a thief. He has been dream and dreamer. He has been a god. But “he” is in fact nothing more than a spark of idea, a character in the mind of Sylvia Harrison, 73, award-winning author of thirty novels over forty years. He has played a part in most of those novels, and in the recesses of her mind, Sylvia has conversed with him for years. But Sylvia won't live forever, any more than any human does. And he's trapped inside her cave of bone, her hollow of skull. When she dies, so will he. Now Sylvia is starting a new novel, a fantasy for adult readers, set in Thalia, the Florence-resembling imaginary city that was the setting for a successful YA trilogy she published decades before. Of course he's got a part in it. But he also has a notion. He thinks he knows how he and Sylvia can step off the wheel of mortality altogether. All he has to do is convince her.

Is this book for you? Only if you are ready to look at all aspects of your life to release yourself from negative feelings and bad habits, and consequently manifest a happier and healthier life. You will learn the 4Rs (Recognize, Release, Replace, and Repeat) along with insight into other tools that can help make this process more fruitful and a little easier. The information contained in this book comes from my own personal and professional experience. I know the techniques work because I've seen them work in my life and in my clients' lives. We will look at problems and solutions from physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual perspectives so you can find the right balance of each component in your life. The information will be presented from spiritual and secular viewpoints because you can approach cleaning your mind's junk drawer either way, depending on your belief system. We know that the key to changing specific aspects of your life resides in you. The required concepts are simple, but making the necessary changes is not always easy and "quick fixes" are rarely permanent. The program presented in this book is not for anyone wanting a "quick fix" because the process requires a willingness to make any changes necessary to reach your desired goals. Once you put in the necessary time and effort, you will feel uplifted and know you are on the right path in life. At that point, and apparently, without effort, the right people and the right events will materialize in your life in a synchronistic manner. This will ultimately provide you with a functional "junk drawer of the mind" that will lead to your heart's desire and fulfillment. Deborah J. McKenna is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Certified Hypnotherapist, Board Certified Coach, and a Level II EMDR Specialist. She has over thirty years of experience in the counseling field, helping clients sift through the items in their mental "Junk Drawers" by using a variety of techniques to help them blaze new paths.
