Debra Morgan is an extraordinary American author, advocate, and influential non-fiction writer whose books offer real-life journeys through the realms of Addiction, Fibromyalgia, Chronic pain, and Mental health. Deb’s debut book, “Graceful Agony,” reflects her passion for helping others by providing support and understanding through their struggles. Residing in Chandler, Arizona, she stands as a beacon of hope and support for those seeking solace and strength in their own battles.


DEB’S INTERVIEW

Q. What is one lesser-known fact about your childhood?

I started drinking at 12 years of age. I had much young abuse, so my party days started before there was a party.

Q. Moving back to Arizona to be closer to your grown children and grandchildren shows the importance of family to you. How has their support and presence in your life contributed to your healing and growth?

It can be hard to measure the support from your children, they do not like to see me getting older, and they have such a busy life that I recognize it instead of expecting it anymore. My Grandchildren are my heart.
I spend weekends with them in order of age as much as I can. I have six, still young enough, but they all love being with me, which makes my heart feel good. I feel better being around them.

Q. As a survivor and warrior, how do you define resilience, and how has it played a role in your own life?

I guess that I don’t see myself as a warrior as much as I do others, even though people say that I am; I had to learn to be a survivor and warrior at an incredibly early age. It seems to have grown in my soul. It has helped me never to stop and always to do what I can to help others with this disease. I forget until I talk with someone who has this that many of us did not grow up with abuse or haven’t been an addict. These are things that help me. We must reach deep inside to find it sometimes.

Q. How has your advocacy work and raising awareness about addiction and fibromyalgia influenced your writing?

It has helped me to see into other sufferers’ lives and what they have to live with. Listening to others is the best way to learn how I can relate to others in my writing.

>>> Graceful Agony: An Intimate Memoir of Living with Fibro & Chronic Fatigue <<<


Q. Your new book, “Graceful Agony,” is about real-life journeys through addiction, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and mental health. Could you tell us more about the inspiration behind this book and what readers can expect to find in it?

This is my first book on this portion of my life. I will be writing about my Childhood through addiction and how having a mental health component exacerbated everything in my life. Looking at it now, my story shows me what one can really get through and still have a happy, secure life.

Q. You mentioned that your books are based on your personal experiences. How did your own journey through addiction, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and mental health challenges shape your writing?

I just have written honestly; I do not hold much back. My writing is shaped by how I was, whether good or bad; horrifying, my writing is who I am from what I have gone through.


Q. What is the main message or takeaway you hope readers will gain from your books?

I wrote this book first because I wanted to help young and old women with what they are going through by telling them my story. I hope that Graceful Agony has done that and will continue to. I also wrote it with references that I learned in my journey that I wish someone would have imparted to me.

Q. Writing about personal and challenging experiences can be emotionally demanding. How do you cope with the emotional aspects of sharing your story?

I watch something on TV that I can really get lost in, even if I have watched it for the 900th time. I have to get out of my head when I finish writing for that particular period; I am exhausted. It is hard to remember sometimes what you will run to as you write about it. My life memories can get pretty dark at times.

Q. You’ve been featured as a guest on podcasts and radio shows to raise awareness about addiction and share your recovery journey. How has this advocacy work impacted you personally, and what message do you aim to convey to the audience?

I love being on either of those. I can just tell my story or answer their questions, which flows easily.
I try to let everyone know that writer or not, they have a story, and I surely never thought I would write a book, so give it a try or get it out by writing stories to yourself that you may never share but when you read it in 2 days’ time, you will see that you sound different than you did when you wrote it. That is why I kept going.

Q. Maintaining sobriety since 1993 is an incredible accomplishment. Can you share some of the strategies or support systems that have helped you stay on this path of recovery?

I used every tool that rehab gave me, was shattered and put back together again, and still remember it is one day at a time, and this too shall pass. The days turned to months and months to years, but I never wanted to be that person again.

Q. Could you discuss the importance of support and community for individuals facing fibromyalgia and chronic pain? How have you found support in your own journey?

The medical community could do much more than they have, which is very little. Just like recovery, people with chronic illness and pain should have places to go to talk about what they go through. With very few online groups and because it is not face-to-face, we have to be very careful about how the group works. There are not really any in-person groups; there is not a place that acts as a place that could help set up meetings for people in areas to meet as AA or other programs do.

Q. You mentioned your passion for reading, painting, and traveling. How do these activities contribute to your overall well-being and recovery?

I have to have something to plan on and look forward to, even if it is something easy that others might do every day that I may not be able to do most of the time.

Q. What advice would you give to someone who is currently facing their own challenges with addiction, chronic pain, or mental health issues?

If you have an addiction, find a meeting for whatever your addiction is in person or online. My Fibro Team is where I go, and it is fantastic, and the people are great. I go there for my Fibro and Chronic Fatigue, and they have people who have all kinds of painful diseases.
For Mental Health, call your insurance or go to NAMI, which is the place for mental health care, and they have tons of information. Also, there are many mental health Psychologists who have groups and even rehabs to figure out what you need and can recommend a psychiatrist.

Q. How many plot ideas are just waiting to be written? Can you tell us about one?

I suggest putting out a hand-in-hand book with Graceful on how to deal with the Guilt and Shame of having a chronic pain disease. I actually have that one almost put together. I have Trapped my Life’s story, and not sure from there.

Lastly, What do you think of All Author, and would you recommend it to your other author friends?

Your Website Here at “All Author” has helpful information and tools for new authors. I am delighted with the support I have gotten being listed on your site! And you can reach social media and help get a book out in the reader’s community; it is why I always recommend it on all of my social media platforms.

Our Mothers, Our Daughters

Our Mothers, Our Daughters

Divas That Care Collection

by Candace Gish

Non-Fiction – Anthology – Contributing Authors

Kindle Edition – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZ59BSBN

Reviewed on 04/25/2023

Reviewed by Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers’ Favorite

Our Mothers, Our Daughters by Candace Gish reminds us that the relationship shared between mother and daughter is deep. It’s not always positive, but it defines the identity of both mother and daughter and the way that the world sees them. We grow together and learn together and, for better or worse, we create ourselves in the image of the other. It’s like a road trip, one that takes many dips and turns and leads us, hopefully, to a positive and pre-destined place. As Jacqueline Biollo writes in her story, Alethea, “Metaphorically, road trips, like relationships, can be expensive.

They take time and energy to foster. But with some planning, we can successfully navigate the road ahead and avoid some bumps along the way. Relationships can be adventurous and advantageous to exploring new things, building confidence, and making memories.” Simply put, life and relationships are journeys we must take that will lead us to places unknown.

Candace Gish’s book, Our Mothers, Our Daughters, is an anthology of stories honoring the mother-daughter dynamic. This book is part of the Divas That Care Collection, bringing together the positive and the negative (and the most loving and challenging) connections that define who we are. The stories feature three distinct themes: Connection, Inner Self, and Unconditional Love. The accounts are meant to inspire all of us mothers and daughters as we embark on the mission of bonding and love (or, sadly, the lack thereof). Some of the stories may spark a similar memory in the reader’s mother-daughter relationship. The narratives are accompanied by prompts and suggestions to further strengthen, or at least comprehend, the complexity that makes up our own stories.

Through the words of other mothers and daughters, this anthology will both inspire and encourage all of us to look deeper into our emotions as we make that poignant, sometimes difficult, journey.



Reviewed by Jamie Michele for Readers’ Favorite

Our Mothers, Our Daughters: The Stories That Make And Create Our Lives (Divas That Care Collection) is an anthology of non-fiction stories that revolve around maternal relationships and the ties that bind mothers and daughters. The collection has multiple individual authors who share a slice of their stories with the contributions having been pulled together into its present book format by Candace Gish.

The stories range from the inspiring My Daughter, My Valentine by Brenda Pearce in which the author, who thought she couldn’t have more kids, feels an overwhelming desire for a baby while admiring a newborn girl at work. Weeks later, she discovers she’s pregnant and gives birth to a healthy baby girl on Valentine’s Day, whom she considers a miracle and a gift from the Divine; to A Study in Golden Rule and Persistence by Rosanna Pittella, wherein Pittella recounts her decision to send her gifted daughter Jessica to school at 18 months old, despite opposition from others. Jessica thrived and went on to earn three degrees.

All told, Our Mothers, Our Daughters by Candace Gish contains over two dozen stories that each pack a huge heartwarming punch despite their compact sizes. I like that the stories are categorized into three distinct and interconnected parts: Connection, Inner-Self, and Unconditional Love. I was most touched by My Beautiful Miracle by Jennifer Herron who reflects on the joys and challenges of raising her daughter Lauren, who was born premature and faced health and developmental obstacles.

Through their journey together, Herron has learned the importance of embracing uniqueness and adapting to the unknown, and she feels truly blessed to have learned so much from her daughter. All of the stories are polished and wonderfully composed, and I loved that each section ends with action steps, journal prompts, and affirmations. I walked away from this collection feeling whole and happy and completely fulfilled.

Very highly recommended.

Interview with Author Pavane Ravel

How many books have you written and which is your favorite?

So far, I have written seven complete novels.

This includes my first book which I wrote as a teenager just for me. I have always wanted to be a fiction novelist. At a young age, the only way I could discover if my dream was feasible was to actively write a novel. I wrote at night when I was supposed to be in bed and rested for high school in the morning.

My first book was 300 handwritten pages and took me 5 years to write. When it was finished, I put it in a drawer and never looked back. But I had my answer.

I love all my books; they are my creation and like my children.

When I began the first book (Revelation of Lies) of my Larry Martin Novel Series — The Other Shoes of Larry Martin” — I had no clue the work would turn into a series. Prior to writing this book, I had just finished my second novel, “Hepplewhite.” I had planned to publish Hepplewhite, but then, Larry Martin got in the way.

Much to my family’s alarm, I was obsessed with “Revelation of Lies.” I could not stop writing, not even when we were on vacation at the beach. I hardly ate or slept. I came close to ruining our vacation. But still, I could not stop. I did not want to stop.

If I had to choose my favorite books of what I have written, they would be Book One, Revelation of Lies, and Book Five, Revenge Served Cold, of the Larry Martin series.    
    

If you’re planning a sequel, can you share a tiny bit about your plans for it?

The Other Shoes of Larry Martin will be a seven-book series. Currently, I am writing Book Six. I do have an idea for the title of this novel, but as I am not settled on it yet, I won’t mention it.

I am happy to say that the first two books of the series are now published. I plan for Book Three, The Board Extraction, to come out at the end of this year.

Do you want each book to stand on its own, or are you trying to build a body of work with connections between each book?

Yes, I want each book to stand on its own. For readers who have not read the previous books in the series, I try to provide some background of what’s happening in the opening of each book.

All the books are connected though. They are one long story of Larry Martin’s life. His outlook. Why he does what he does. His metaphysical approach to life. Larry is a uniquely progressive character.  

How did you come up with the title for your book?

In Book One, Revelation of Lies, Larry starts off as an awful person. He is part of the Incel community and a misogynist. I never saw him as evil, just misguided.

He was raised by an abusive father who hated everyone … women, gays, and minorities. This was all Larry knew. Before graduating college, he got a job as a journalist with a cruel alt-right website. Larry’s job was to mock the poor and homeless. And after he got fired and became homeless himself — everything he despised — he had a revelation of all the lies that had brought him down this sad path. Hence, the title.

In Book Two, On Becoming Laurie Roberts, Larry has changed his life so radically by embracing kindness, he’s managed to become an entirely different person. And this is where his life alters in the best of ways. After beings adopted by a wealthy architect, his transformation becomes complete. Larry Martin becomes Laurie Roberts. The book is about this transformation. Hence, the title. But it is not an easy ride. Laurie does the best he can and he is brilliant. But the betrayal of the men he loves the most nearly destroys him. 

     

How long did it take you to write this book?

Ah. Well. Right now, we are talking about two different books. Revelation of Lies took me three months in a concerted effort to write. ‘On Becoming Laurie Roberts’ took me five months to accomplish.

Like anyone else, in all this, I still have other responsibilities. I am often distracted to please my family and clean the house. My family is settled with me writing now. That’s a good thing. They help me in every way. But I still must break from my writing to get other things done. I find myself slowing down now. Books Three, Four, and Five are written, so I can rest a bit too. 


What does the title mean?

I create my titles in direct correlation to something happening in my book. I often finish a book before I select a title.

For example, as I mentioned, I am writing Book Six of the series now. While I do have an idea, I would rather wait and see if there is something specific I can select for an even tighter title. I like specifics. 

‘Revelation of Lies’ and ‘Becoming Laurie Roberts were specific to what occurred in those books.

What did you learn when writing the book?

Ha! This question is like asking a brain surgeon, “What did you learn in medical school?”

Okay. Here’s how I feel. Or perhaps, the best way to say so is from a 5-star review from Kevin Terres M. on Barnes and Noble:

“Larry is some kind of odd study between cruelty v. kindness, laziness v. self-discipline, and internal strength v. fragility. There is something profound going on here.”

Or from Armando Rodriquez on Amazon, another 5-star review:

“Although fictitious, Pavane develops a character that symbolizes hope for humanity.”   

Hope for humanity? Did you ever? Yes, I did mean that, but to accomplish it in a reader’s eyes is a truly wonderful thing.

I believe that people are starved for kindness. I believe people can forget how powerful kindness can be.

Most of us in America live in a world of cruelty. Our rights are being stripped from voters, women, gay and trans communities as well as minorities. The costs of living are escalating out of control. Homelessness is growing. The billionaires are reaping it all while too many are hungry. The costs of healthcare remain frightening. Medical bankruptcy is on the rise and the expense of senior living has become astronomical.         

How do we live? How do we survive? How do we teach people what is happening in a simple way that can be understood?

Through a story. And that’s what Larry Martin is … just a story, not a dissertation or a lecture. I wanted to cover these societal issues in a way that’s easy to understand.     
   

What surprised you the most?

While I don’t plot my books from start to finish, I do make internal notes of details and directions to keep my story straight. So, most of the time, I think I know what’s going to happen. It always surprises me when I don’t see something coming, yet it’s far better than what I originally intended.

Have you ever killed off a character your readers loved?

Yes. This is a good example of a surprise. There is a character I love. I had plotted future scenes involving this character deeper into the series. I thought I knew where the story was headed, but none of it happened. Yes, my character died, even as I understood why. Book 5 emerged from that why. I have not offered this novel to readers yet, but the death caused my editor to cry. He was surprised and shocked. Since the loss was not predictable, he was truly saddened. If he had such a reaction, I know it will be the same for my readers. 

What do you do to get inside your character’s head?

When I am writing, I am watching a movie in my mind. That’s the best way I can describe it. I am transcribing a mental movie. I see things through Larry Martin’s eyes. I know what he thinks and what he feels. I understand how he sees the world around him and his approach to that world in response.  

It’s interesting to me that Larry is far more intelligent than I am. I don’t try to control him; he shows me what he wants. And he is very direct about it.

From the Author . . .


The Mystic Swords of Love and Innocence is a book I wrote more than a decade ago, but one in which I still contemplate the words and wisdom therein. I have continued to revise it as I have continued to revise my own life. And yet, in a way, this book has taken on a life of its own beyond even my own thoughts and revisions in its own determination to express its unique spirit.

While some may profess that as adults we have lost our innocence, and with it, our ability to love in its purest form, I have come to realize that we never truly lose the essence of either within our soul and spirit. The profession of such a loss is actually an illusion, or a fabrication that has been drummed into us once we reach adolescence, as it has through eons of history and religion, convincing us that true love and innocence is only a gift to be experienced by the very young.

Consider, for example, how we often hear in our youth, that once we become sexually active, we have lost our innocence?

With our innocence now gone, what have we now become?

Can we ever attain innocence once again?

Is the innocence that we thought we have lost still in our hearts?

The answers and more are within the pages of this book. . .
