...And Then I Would Fly

 Book Cover


...And Then I Would Fly


As a child in the 1980s, Damien lived an idyllic life as the only son to two highly creative parents. He idolized his larger-than-life father, the unemployed musician. His mother, the artist, painted the neighbor children’s portraits and sometimes worked two jobs to pay the mortgage and put food on the table.


When Damien’s mother asked for a divorce, his father initiated a long journey of vengeance with Damien at the center, weaponizing the boy against his own mother. Suddenly, nothing was sacred. As the structure of the family and his father’s mental health crumbled, Damien’s idyllic life became seedy and dangerous.

His father spiraled out of control and vandalized their house, made Damien steal all his baby pictures, and exposed him to violence, drugs, and dysfunction. Eventually, he brought a new eighteen-year-old girlfriend home, who gave birth to Damien’s little sister, Lily. Living in squalor, Damien struggled to emerge with Lily from their dysfunctional father’s grasp.

…And Then I Would Fly is a heartbreaking and lovable memoir masterfully told over several decades, from a chaotic childhood to becoming a father who is still trying to heal himself. Sometimes darkly funny and often gut-wrenching, it is a moving story of an optimistic spirit seeking to thrive against any odds, even when in danger from the people he loves the most.

YOU ARE PLAYER 1: IN THE GAME OF LIFE

 Book Cover


YOU ARE PLAYER 1: IN THE GAME OF LIFE


You Are Player 1 reimagines personal growth through the lens of gaming, blending the deep self-awareness of J. Krishnamurti with the practical momentum of gamification. Instead of feeling stuck in old habits, scattered by modern demands, or overwhelmed by the noise of everyday life, you’ll learn to approach each challenge as a quest, each setback as a respawn, and each breakthrough as a level-up, especially if you wrestle with ADHD, daily stress, or a restless mind, Johnny Lam invites you to see your own mind as the ultimate playing field—one where racing thoughts and impulsivity become creative tools, where presence replaces distraction, and where even the most routine tasks can spark curiosity and purpose.

"A heartwarming and absorbing account of matching a human and a canine."- Kirkus Indies

A memoir of second chances, healing, and how rescuing a dog rescued me

Having never had a dog of his own before, Don was not prepared for what it meant to adopt one of the most behaviorally difficult rescues in the shelter. But something about Barbie, a mutt that everyone had given up on and so fearful and unresponsive that she was within days of being put down, convinced Don to open his home and his heart for the first time to a canine companion, changing both of their lives forever.

Interspersed with Don’s most poignant memories of volunteering at his local animal shelter, The Mutt for Me follows the many misadventures of Don and Barbie on their mutual journey of growth and healing. You’ll see Barbie transform from the terrified, despondent recluse to the lively and almost always well-behaved dog she is today.

As the first-time dog dad of a pup in need of significant behavioral development, Don shows that with enough love, patience, and dedication, anyone can provide a home to a rescue animal. The Mutt for Me is a heartwarming story about how our pets have the capacity to transform and heal us as much as we can do the same for them.

Dog Days:

Discworld meets Greek Mythology -

A Hilarious Fantasy Introduction to the Mortal Coil (Book 1)


"Supreme Goddess of Wisdom & War?"

"War & Wisdom," she said. "Tells you something about their priorities, doesn't it?" Mortal Coil: Dog Days The gods don't visit the Mortal Coil anymore, and for good reason, after What Happened Last Time. The criminals have unionised, the Steward is corrupt, and the City of Veils is still a den of iniquity, even after the priests left. But the Festival of Masks is coming soon, and there are rumours that a god will be present... When Moxy Lynn accidentally infuses two copper dog statues with the bickering twin aspects of Aikyamaya, Supreme Goddess of War & Wisdom, she quickly finds herself on a hilarious adventure, at least for the reader, if not for Moxy. She meets Windhook, the half-tree, fake charlatan, smokes Dreamleaf with the Goddess of Indulgences, and faces off against the Chayya Syndicate, all on the way to help Aikyamaya find her semi-human-half-brother at the End Of The World. Perfect for fans of Discworld, Mortal Coil: Dog Days is a hilarious fantasy trek through a world as rich as Moxy's tame corrupt billionaire, Spacer Goodman. Comedy, satire, divine bureaucracy accompany Moxy and the gang, with a Fallen Deity TM on their tails, in a surprisingly powerful story, for a book that doesn't take itself very seriously at all.
