Kat Murdock is an Australian mother of three, a business owner, a farmer, a horse whisperer, a sports coach, an entrepreneur, and now an author.

Behind all this, she has been sad lonely lost, invisible, burnt out, hurt, and at the bottom of a confusing dark hole for most of her life. Times were tough, and as most women do, we play many roles and rarely have the time or the knowledge to really get to know ourselves.

Kat couldn't afford counselors or psychologists and living rurally would have put her on a country mile-long wait list anyway. At her lowest, she was quiet, without words to describe how she felt, especially to another person. Like many of us where do you start? Kat embarked on her own Self Improvement journey by educating herself by writing, listening, and moving her body.

She is now beautifully happy with her life and wants to show women how to really find a home in their own souls and be authentic. Kat Murdock has filtered the best of the information out there into a concise one-day workbook for powerful change and guidance. Even now she wouldn't describe herself as depressed anxious or menopausal. Kat suffered from lining up for things, being the “yes” girl, and accepting people in her team who had no right to be there.

Honest, powerful, kind, and with a lot of love to share this authentic woman has realized the need for a steppingstone between despair and professional services. She doesn't want women to waste precious time like she did, for suicide rates to continue rising or for domestic violence to continue. Kats workbook is the tool that women need to identify if it's a black dog day or just a black cat day where you can love and lift yourself out of the dark hole.

Their adventures are fanciful tales about ordinary people who do extraordinary things. They live in the real world, but their journeys often take them to far-off places, or fantasy lands where they live out their dreams.

Three additional books are in various stages of production and will be available soon.

Guy Brooke grew up fascinated with the lyrical words of songs. How could he, too, manipulate such emotions? After years of writing close to one hundred songs, producing two self-published music albums, crafting and directing three original musical plays and conducting five guitar concerts through San Juan College (an institute Guy was teaching guitar for in Farmington, New Mexico), it proved easy for him to cross over into colorful rhyming stories for children and full blown fantasy novels for the young adults.
Guy loves life, loves the young and loves to write. Residing in the Pacific Northwest with his wife Barbara, Guy wishes to continue manipulating words until carpal tunnel takes its toll : )

Hello. My name is Rodney and I wrote a book titled Paralyzed Emotions.

I wrote a personal memoir confronting life with my mental illnesses. It is a series of letters written to my doctor back in the 1980's when I was first diagnosed. When I gave them to her, I never expected to see her again (she was moving to another state to practice). To my utter surprise she called me from a payphone in the Denver airport to tell me that I needed to publish them!

Well now, I didn't think they were anything special. And they were so very personal, I didn't feel ready to share. So, I prayed about it, and I felt that God wanted me to wait for 25 years. 30 years later a pandemic hit. While isolated God prompted me to finish the letters and publish it. So, I got them back out, dusted them off, and got to work! My prayer for this book is that it helps lift the veil of mystery surrounding mental health crises. Whether you are struggling with mental illness and feeling alone or you love someone who does and just don't understand how they feel this book will help.
