I am going to let you know that Candy Under My Pillow is written and in the editing phase. There is a vast omission of some issues that were in the first release.
This will add details and target the story on what the story was supposed to be about. The removal of classmates of mine as characters because they had no business in the story. The entire David Dennis material because I needed to focus on the abuse in the home.
The removal of my wife from the novel and our marriage history. The reason is that it deterred the message on abuse and how I overcame it. By getting rid of all the deterrents then it means that I can focus on the overall story. The story itself was gotten into vastly to focus on the story and the events in the story.
It may cover what was removed on a future date release as a separate novel. The main message that I want to convey before the release is that it is perfectly ok to talk to a professional, or a loved one if you are a victim of the crime. The perpetrator does not want you to tell people. I say it is ok to give the person what they do not want.
Talk to someone who you can trust and tell them how you feel. I want to also make this clear that it is not just women who can be victims. Yes, I am a man and yes, I was sexually abused as a kid. I am speaking out on all forms of sexual and physical abuse. To do the crime is totally wrong. There are tons of emotional and psychological things that happen after people have gone through this.
I overcame this by talking and working things out with people. You do not have to have that shadow following you. The point of the book is to turn something negative in my life into something positive. It is to challenge the stereotype and to turn it into something that people can relate to.
