FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Transformation Through The Power of Fearless Recovery is Out There

Lafayette, CO – Although he has transformed from a 320-pound addict and alcoholic into an elite athlete, David Clark’s primary message is not about losing weight, kicking the habit, or the gifts of sobriety. His bestselling book, Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery is about the power of identity. When you change how you think about yourself, he says, you change everything about yourself.

This unique perspective is inspiring others to reach deep inside and break free of destructive habits. This year, Clark and a few friends ran across country, from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., to raise awareness about mental health issues. He also did a non-stop 48 hour treadmill run for addiction.

Now, at 45 years old, he is stepping into the Octagon for a cage fight next year. UFC Champion and Hall Of Fame fighter Pat Miletich is training and cornering him to fight in a fundraiser with the goal of raising $250,000 for heroin treatment and to show the power of fearless recovery.

Out There is a candid story of addiction and recovery; the lessons learned provide inspiration to never give up despite life’s challenges. It is brutally and unflinchingly honest, and a testament to the power of redemption and the human spirit. The audiobook has achieved bestseller status on Amazon.com.

A running coach, sponsored runner and inspirational speaker, David Clark owns a gym near Boulder, Colorado. He has competed in some of the most difficult endurance races on the planet. An elite athlete, Clark is well respected in the national running community.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

‘Her’ Draws Attention To A Disorder That Disrupts The Lives Of Many Teens And Robs Them Of Their Self-Identity

In ‘Her,’ Felicia Johnson takes us into the mind of a girl suffering with borderline personality disorder, and deftly portrays her hopes and struggles as she desperately tries to understand it.

Tucker, GA – While mental health issues are more freely discussed these days, it’s still difficult to approach someone who might have a problem. But ignoring it is not an option. With courage and great hope, Felicia Johnson deftly portrays the struggles of a girl with borderline personality disorder in Her (8th Street Publishing).

“Her takes readers into the mind of someone who is suffering so they can get a first person view of a painful mental disorder,” says Johnson. “The story is an example of how, if we try to push the past away, we are either doomed to repeat it or let it haunt us to our graves.”

At first glance, Kristen Elliott is a normal seventeen-year-old who loves her family and friends and strives for their approval. But Kristen knows something is wrong with her. In her pain and isolation, she finds fleeting solace in self-injury, and the company of Mr. Sharp, her imaginary friend who feeds her feelings of self-loathing.
After a failed suicide attempt, Kristen is placed in a mental hospital and diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). There, she discovers the circumstances that brought her to this breaking point, struggles to understand her mental illness, and fights to be a survivor against her own worst enemy: her self-blame.

Kristen’s tale of endurance illustrates the complex nature of the illness known as borderline personality disorder. Readers – including those suffering from BPD and their friends and family – can glean insight into the illness from this powerful and compelling story.

“The story is inspired by my life of survival and my childhood best friend, Holly, who suffered from BPD,” Johnson says. “Holly lost her battle with depression and BPD when she was 15 years old and took her own life. Her also illuminates the harsh reality of child abuse in the home and the long term psychological effects it has on everyone involved.”

Johnson is an author, child abuse survivor, and mental health advocate. She works in Atlanta with the Highlands Institute and volunteers with Youth Villages Inner Harbour and Personality Disorder Awareness Network. Johnson was nominated for the Gutsy Gals Inspire Me Award of 2014 and Her has been nominated for Georgia Writer’s Association Author of The Year Award. She loves ice cream and seeing her little sister smile.
