Crushing Crohn’s

Some people view chronic illnesses like Crohn’s as a lifelong prison sentence.
Initially, I, too, shared that belief. I was dealt a bad medical hand at the age of eighteen and had to ‘shuffle the deck’ in my favour. In time, I discovered actions that led to a life free of medication. It’s highly unusual to hear of someone who has defeated severe Crohn’s disease and wrote a book about their experience – not that one should brag about their bowel habits or any other ritual that involves a toilet. Years of trial and error led to six simple principles that apply to crushing Crohn’s and reaching your goals. This book shares my journey with the reader, from symptoms, diagnosis, experimentation, to remission. It’s time to turn the tide and wake up to our inflammatory world. A change is coming, and it all starts with what we put in our mouths.

Jackals of Slavery

And How to Defeat Them

“Magna carta is now seen as a traditional mandate for trial by jury, justice for all, accountable government and no arbitrary imprisonment.” – Magna Carta Monument, Canberra

“The purpose of a court in a civilized country is the vindication of men’s rights and the enforcement of just causes.” – Lord Thomas Denning.

Here is an intended handbook that draws together certain essential elements of law and history in the defence of liberty from an ordinary suburban dentist who became a victim of bank fraud and compliant kangaroo courts. My name is John and I believe that We the People are a force to be reckoned with, provided we are armed with the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong and of what good men and women, who have gone before us, have sacrificed and achieved in the pursuit of truth and justice. We, too, have that same duty to our families, friends and neighbours.

In Parentheses

This collection is relentlessly attached to life, barging into galactic boudoirs, unabashed, and suddenly shy, it loves; it dares the sacrament of flowers and tiny birds… audacious with courage born of joy, sorrow and a woman’s not very quiet desperation. A refuge for the rest-less in the age of eco-grief/anxiety, maybe. An overreliance on epithet’s, probably. conversation argues, answers back, yelling but occasionally at dead genius’s, departed eco-feminists, and mythological tree herders alike urgently seeking truth and evolvers of the human race. It begs a response, but tries hard not to command it. Sometimes successfully; a hue and cry, a boon and a balm for such times as these.

‘Oh val,’ the poet writes, ‘all I wrote this year were burning poems’ . And here they are, a collection whose pages burn with love, beauty, tenderness, fury, heart wrenching sadness & a desperate connection to the earth. These are poems where clouds are mermaids in velcro rollers written by a poet who tenderly cuts away charcoal bark in search of pink. These are poems of frazzled motherhood, the grief of the empty nest, the poet’s arse, her tits, her thighs that pedal a bicycle whistling a flying tune. Kerryn Coombs-Valeontis is a poet whose soul contains ancient trees, the wisdom of wombats and a carpet of pink brushed flannel petals. A poet who mourns a million putrefying fish piled along a murdered river. A poet who sings hymns to radishes, praises the grace of thick pumpkin soup and tells of the unbearable sadness when she loses her dog. In this poet’s conga line of life, she writes of her arse, branded and shame seared by father god’s belt. She feels the weight of it all and lays it bare in these poems, urgently saying what her tits cannot say. Ali Whitelock, the lactic acid in the calves of your despair.

To Be Cool, You Must Be Kind

To Be Cool, You Must Be Kind; is a children’s story with a hidden message. It touches on a variety of behaviours school aged children would typically experience when trying to fit in and be accepted for who they are. The book goes through what children may perceive as ‘ being cool’ versus what it actually takes to be cool and ultimately that is found in the way of kindness and acceptance.

This is a great children’s story suitable for school aged children, that not only has a great message; but is also enjoyable to read.

About the Author

Mother by Day, Writer by night!

I am a mother of four with three boys and one girl. Although I have always had an urge to make a bigger contribution within society, it was my children that gave me to inspiration to pursue my passion to make a difference. One of my biggest challenges is to try and change the stigma’s associated with so many situations we faced as children and our children continue to face today. My book, ‘ To Be Cool, You Must Be Kind; was written to try and change the way we perceive someone being cool. It touches on a variety of behaviours typically seen in school aged children and walks the readers through what it really takes to be cool; and ultimately that is being kind.

All of my stories both present and future will have hidden messages written in a child friendly and enjoyable manner.

Our children are the future and we can change the way they think and perceive the world, one book at a time!
