The Hypergenetics of Suicide: It’s Not Our Fault We Kill Ourselves Over and Over

There are trained professionals in the medical community who actually believe that anxiety, depression and suicidal behavior are just “in your mind” and have no organic basis whatsoever.

Passionate Reasons NOT to Buy My Novel SUICIDE TANGO

SUICIDE TANGO is now on sale on Amazon!

Haters needs lovin’, too, so I’m sharing some reasons why you should NOT buy my new novel. According to the haters, at least. In the interest of accuracy, I preserved the reviewers’ original spelling, grammar and improper (or lack of) punctuation.

Mother Nature placed certain plants at our doorstep for a good reason: to assuage or even reverse damage done to us by everyday living, all those ratty toxins that invade us through the air, water, food, soil.
