MIND: PSYCHOLOGY, THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW YOUR MIND WORKS...

 Book Cover


MIND: PSYCHOLOGY, THE UNTOLD STORY OF HOW YOUR MIND WORKS...



https://www.amazon.com/dp/1736002554

This is a book about the most important discoveries in psychology. Not just the gnawed bones of the studies in a textbook, but what has been left out of what you think you know. From Genius to Suicide Bombers, from Science to Sex, all the best they never told you in school. 362 Pages, 7.5X9, fully illustrated

• The Brain: How experience controls the biology of the brain: Adrenalin, Cortisol, and Neurotransmitters flood the brain in response to words, Hollywood horror movies, anxiety-producing thoughts, and the girls shrieking “Witch, Witch!” at the Salem witch trial...

• Quest for the Mind Code; how the mind is programmed by the environment.

• New Evidence: How learning "hardwires" the brain for language, emotion, culture, sex....

• MInd Control is an everyday occurrence. Psychology’s General Theory of Relativity; Kamikaze pilots, suicide bombers, celebrity, Tank Killing dogs, sex, and Sacred Cows.  

•The success of Genius is not about the brain, it is about learning how to think. How the greatest minds in history made their discoveries, in their own words.

• Cogito, ergo, cogito cogito: I think, therefore, I think, I think. The fact that we can think has created the illusion that we do think. Test yourself.  Perception determines our reality.

• What the greatest minds in psychology know about how the mind works. Understanding how the mind works gives us the potential to control our own mind, just as Einstein’s understanding of the atom gave us the potential to control the atom. We are far behind in that understanding.

Pills and Me: My Spiral Into Addiction

 Book Cover


Pills and Me: My Spiral Into Addiction



They say the first taste of addiction often comes disguised as relief, and for Kevin Murray, that disguise was an innocent-looking white pill. Pills and Me: My Spiral into Addiction is an unflinchingly raw and personal account of a young man’s descent into opioid addiction—a journey from curiosity to survival in a world ravaged by a seemingly harmless but relentless beast.


As Kevin tells it, his addiction didn’t begin with a reckless choice. It began with exhaustion, loneliness, and a desire to feel anything other than the crushing weight of his circumstances. From his first Percocet in a flooded basement to the countless pills that followed, Kevin’s story pulls back the curtain on the gritty, complex layers of addiction. He confronts the dark places addiction took him—estranged relationships, near-daily despair, and a never-ending need to feel “okay.” Told in his own voice, Kevin’s story isn’t a glamorous or sanitized tale; it’s an honest look at what it means to lose control, fight for a second chance, and claw back one’s life.


For anyone who's been touched by addiction, whether directly or indirectly, Pills and Me provides a window into the battles that take place behind closed doors. This isn’t just Kevin’s story; it’s a testament to the resilience of those who refuse to surrender to the dark. Readers will come away with a deep understanding of the pull of addiction, the strength it takes to confront it, and the flicker of hope that can, at long last, spark a path toward recovery.

Sin Eater (Death Shall Have No Dominion Book 3)

 Book Cover


Sin Eater

(Death Shall Have No Dominion Book 3)


Sin Eater: In 1871 Pennsylvania, a neurodivergent, world-famous photographer Osborn Roche has retreated from society after losing his wife in childbirth, living as a sin eater—one who ritually consumes the sins of the dead—to stay near his son, who's being raised by his late wife's father. As he navigates this mysterious profession, his path intersects with a family of weepers—professional mourners who carry their own dark secrets. Through their unlikely connection, both families confront the ways death rituals bind the living to the dead, and discover that true healing comes not from carrying others' burdens but from embracing love in all its complicated forms.
Greg Morgan is an award-winning novelist, film director, producer, and screenwriter. His acclaimed literary trilogy "Weeper," "Collodion," and his new book, "Sin Eater," masterfully weaves historical themes with characters in rare professions, earning widespread critical recognition. Morgan's storytelling prowess extends beyond the page to the silver screen, where he has carved a distinguished career spanning several decades. His directorial debut, "17 & Under," earned multiple awards and established him as a compelling new voice in filmmaking. He has since produced numerous successful features while continuing to craft memorable screenplays that showcase his narrative versatility. His latest film, "The Boatman," is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Greg Morgan's fascination with America's forgotten death rituals led him to unearth the haunting practice of sin eating—a custom where individuals would ceremonially consume food passed over a corpse, symbolically taking on the deceased's sins. This compelling discovery inspired him to craft "Sin Eater," the third installment in his "Death Shall Have No Dominion" series, weaving together the rich tapestry of 19th-century mourning customs with deeply human stories of love and loss. Morgan's meticulous research into historical practices like professional mourners (weepers) and post-mortem photography brings authenticity to this powerful narrative about grief, redemption, and the lengths people will go to maintain connections with those they've lost.
Sin Eater goes on sale on December 15th.
