FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

West Pittston, PA – Mary Ann Sromoski is proud to offer debut work, Opening Doors to Peace: Overcoming Family Dysfunction, available now in print version at Lulu.com.

Opening Doors to Peace: Overcoming Family Dysfunction is a compelling memoir focused on the suffering and adversity of members of a dysfunctional family.  

The memoir highlights the hardships, tragedies and afflictions faced by Mary Ann since childhood. Dealing with family dysfunction is one of the most difficult problems in society. The book takes the reader through a journey of estrangement, greed and, ultimately, peace.

For those living with family dysfunction and actively searching for answers, clients are invited to view the memoir and details about the author at http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/msromoski, https://maresblogblog.wordpress.com/, https://www.linkedin.com/in/attagirl1 or https://www.facebook.com/msromoski/.

CLIP OF FAMILY E-BOOK

This is a snippet from my 2nd e-book that I am quite proud of. It’s called Family Is Not Defined By Blood. I decided to write this about my family to share the honest truth about what can happen to any family. There are things you need to remove the poison in your life before you can be truly happy. Hope you like it, and thanks for reading. Any feedback is welcome!!!

 You may be thinking of the old cliche and saying, “That would never happen in my family”. I said the exact same thing early on. What a wake up call. I have also learned to not use the word “never”, because, as much as you may think you know about a situation or event, in reality, you just don’t.

Currently, the battle is nowhere from over. I am heartbroken, angry, disgusted, stressed, and just plain shocked all rolled up into a nasty, unrecognizable ball. One thing was for certain, my brothers needed a serious reality check and knocked down a several notches from their pedestals. As a psychology major, narcissism is one of the most difficult personality disorders to treat. How do you reason with a narcissistic individual? Don’t even try. You will be the one in the wrong and questioning yourself. That’s what twisted inflated egos can do to a person on the receiving end.

A Cry for Help / Sort Of

First, I want to thank all of you who have liked my posts. My hope is that they are informative and can help you in any way. I aspire to help other writers. Why? Because I need help. Quite desperately. This is not a sob story by any stretch of the imagination. We all have our own sob stories, which quite frankly sucks.
I swore upside down and sideways that I would NEVER write a book. I just wasn't cut out for that type of patience or hard work. I don't try to take the easy way out, but I will try to make projects easier for my specialty. 
Well, rather impulsively, I dove in head first. No, actually, I belly-flopped. I wrote 2 e-books and self-published them on Amazon. What was I thinking??
They are both about subjects that I am extremely passionate about, so it really didn't take me too long. Actually, 2 books in 3 days. BUT, keep in mind, they are short non-fiction books. A far cry from a novel to say the least.
One is about writing, and the other, which I'm very proud of, is about family conflict. Real, "no going back" family conflict. 
So, what's my freaking point? I implore you to help me with the sales of my books. It's not going so well, and I am in dire financial straits. Please believe me that I'm in no way asking you to buy a book. All I ask from you is to spread the word to people who may have an interest in those topics.
My first book is entitled, "NOT Another Success Story: Being a Successful Failure". Sounds morbid, but it's really not. The second one is entitled "Family is Not Defined By Blood: When It's Time To Cut Ties". I am proud because of the accomplishment. An accomplishment I never thought I'd achieve.
So, again, my fellow passionate writers, just please spread the word. And, never hesitate to ask me for any help either. Hence the name of my blog: Writers Helping Writers.
Thanks so much for reading. Any feedback is always welcome!
