  • (1888PressRelease) June 28, 2016 - "This Heat, It's Hell Closing in on Me (...or Life and Death and the Life In-Between)" by James S. M. Parker, About the Book: Dealing with identity, depression, self-harm and counselling, James S M Parker's follow up to 'Love or Suicide and the Life In-Between' is a collection of fact, poetry and short story focusing on an 18 month period of his life from mid-2013 to the end of 2014. Part one looks at life, death and how we are influenced by our parents whilst part two is written as a diary using poetry, statements and observations. Brutally honest, deeply uncompromising, relentlessly personal, 'this heat...' takes the reader inside the mind of a man battling with himself and the life dealt to him.

    About the Author:
    James S. M. Parker has written two very personal books to date including "Love or Suicide and the Life In-Between" (Grosvenor House Publishing, 2012) and "This Heat, It's Hell Closing in on Me (….or Life and Death and the Life In-Between" (Grosvenor House Publishing, 2016)

    Excerpt from the Book:
    "How do I explain this book without giving away too much? Is it a direct follow up to my first book 'Love or Suicide and the Life In-between'? Yes it is, despite there being a good 12 years between the writing of the two. What is it about? Well, where 'Love or Suicide…' was about an instant response to a period in my life, this book is about the inner struggle and complete lack of dealing with that period. Despite the happy and content life I was leading from 2005, something inside me broke in 2013. This led to severe depression, lack of any sleep, self-harm, prescribed drugs and finally counselling sessions. This story is woven in with my poetry about the subjects of Life and Death and is part one of 'this heat, it's hell closing in on me'. Part two was born from my desire to write every day for a year and keep a diary so is a combination of these two desires. A 2014 diary written in poetry/short story form using many different styles and littered with the odd photograph. Finally the epilogue is a little taster of what I am working on next…or rather what I am working on now."
