Gratitude Happens: A Tarot Card, Crystal-Infused, Self-Love Journey

Available for Pre-order on February 14, 2024

Love, light, and burning white sage aren’t enough to heal Chrissie Demata’s wounds. She’s desperate for connection and meaning in life but growing up without a father and estranged from her manic depressive mother, she never learned how.

Now a 40-year-old Angeleno, Chrissie excels at the art of spiritual and emotional bypassing, clinging to tarot cards, healing crystals, energy healers and positive vibes without mercy. When her mother ends up in the hospital with a mental breakdown and Chrissie is the only person who can help, she must decide how much she can give to win her mother’s love, and if that love requires that she betray herself in the process.

Fuchsia Parade: One Woman's Quest for Sex, Love and Redemption

A riveting and fast paced story about one woman’s journey to save herself.

“An intriguing and powerful book. From the get-go, the author pulls the reader into the beautifully flawed life of the main character and takes the reader on a journey filled with sarcasm, sex, alcohol, success, truth, and healing. This book will be hard to put down and will leave you wanting more in the end." - Amazon Reviewer

“The type of central female character that great feminist novels are made of—complicated, flawed, badass, powerful, yet tender and compassionate upon further reveal through layers of story. Within the first few chapters of ‘Fuchsia Parade’, we come to know Kailee as a heavy drinker, hard partying woman, well-connected socialite, and someone who has the type of self-confidence we all wish was instilled into us growing up as girls,” said Girl Talk Headquarters.

Writer’s Digest called Fuchsia Parade exemplary in its structure, organization, and pacing. “Overall, I loved [the author’s] style. This story was told in a first person voice, which isn’t always easy to do, but especially not when the topic can be so difficult all on its own. I thought she handled it with grace where called for, and laid out a story that would be relatable and appealing to tons of different readers.”

About Fuchsia Parade, Winner of the National Indie Excellence Award

Kailee Johnson has a voracious appetite for men. "There are 3 types of men when you're on the prowl—the tasty morsel, the hottie, and the nice guy."

A successful and powerful businesswoman in the male dominated New York construction industry, she anchors her glamorous lifestyle in the up and coming "6th borough" of Jersey City, where Kailee aggressively pursues money, designer shoes, men, and cocktails.

One day she wakes up to the smell of booze, shame and regret to proclaim the powerful words "I need help." Her search for healing leads to a clairvoyant in Manhattan, to the deepest reaches of her subconscious mind, and to the New Mexican scene of a repressed childhood memory where sexual abuse changed her life forever.

Kailee fights a ferocious battle to reclaim her shadows by battling old ways, fears and a traumatic ecosystem to uncover the powerful and sensitive woman within. Her story will entertain you, make you laugh, cry, and sing triumphant at her journey to become whole.

RECLAIMING KONIA: A Tale of Love, Loss and the Armenian Genocide

My First Novel and Rite of Passage to Authorship: Historical Fiction Based on My Family's Story

From a young age, I always knew I wanted to write a book. Finally, I ventured to write one. "Reclaiming Konia: A Tale of Love, Loss and the Armenian Genocide" was an eight-year journey to tell the story of my Armenian great grandfather, Melkon Jenanyan, a survivor of the genocide.

​ABOUT RECLAIMING KONIA

On the threshold of the 20th Century, Melkon Jenanyan sits alone in a room in the heart of Philadelphia. An intense and stubborn Christian Minister, and the one who must secure their family legacy, he has to make a decision. Will he further complicate his strained marriage by returning to the heart of the Ottoman Empire – as a targeted Christian minority in a Muslim land?

The crux of his life’s meaning hangs in the balance as he struggles to choose between family or his life’s work, peace, or a potential war zone. Will he find salvation as a martyr to save his people, or will he choose to save himself?
