Recent release “Dating in the Dark” from Page Publishing author Jeffrey Demitrack is an eye-opening account that details moments in the author’s dating life that have been impacted by his epileptic seizures. By sharing his story, Demitrack hopes to shed light on seizure disorders and how they disrupt one’s everyday life while helping others with epilepsy know they are not alone.

Jeffrey Demitrack, earned his master’s degree in counseling psychology from Cambridge College and has enjoyed many careers, including participating in the family business, sales, and IT work for the New York Department of Education, has completed his new book “Dating in the Dark: A Memoir About Dating Disasters with Epilepsy, Anxiety, and Psychotic Breaks”: a powerful memoir that details the authors experiences in trying to find a romantic partner while dealing with epileptic seizures that have often derailed his dating plans.

“My story isn’t easy to tell. It’s hard to put into words exactly what I’ve felt or experienced, and some moments are simply too graphic to describe,” writes Demitrack. “I still thought I’d give it a try because epilepsy is something I’m stuck with for life, and that’s something I can’t escape. I hope my story helps open up a dialogue about this disorder and gives people a chance to relate to it in a way they might not have previously. Epilepsy hasn’t gotten the attention or funding it deserves, but as the public hears about how common it is and sees famous people whose lives it has touched, there have gradually been more and more people taking notice.”

Demitrack continues, “This book is about a unique subset of the seizures I’ve had while suffering from intractable epilepsy while exploring my sexuality. The word ‘intractable’ is stuck in front of my diagnosis because it means that my epilepsy doesn’t respond well to medicinal treatment. I’ve had thousands of seizures, of different types, but I wanted to describe to you some that were traumatic not only for me but for other people in my life at the time. Whether it was with an exclusive girlfriend, a first date, or others, an epileptic seizure thwarted any plans I had for the evening.”

The author finishes by sharing, “I hope you will enjoy this deeply personal story with an open mind. As you read, you will see I lost many meaningful relationships on top of other components that would have contributed to a higher quality of life. The more I lost, the harder it was to find relationships. If this book helps one person to understand epilepsy and relationships better, the time and effort to write it was well worth it.”

Published by Page Publishing, Jeffrey Demitrack’s enthralling story invites readers to experience what life is like for those who live with epilepsy and find themselves in the dark and having no control over when a seizure occurs. In this raw and honest approach, Demitrack details the complexities of being a lover and romantic partner, along with the confusion and loneliness that can be felt by those afflicted with epilepsy.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Dating in the Dark: A Memoir About Dating Disasters with Epilepsy, Anxiety, and Psychotic Breaks” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Recent release “After the White Smoke Cleared” from Page Publishing author Sherry McCullough-Smith follows the tumultuous relationship between Ray and Diana, two people who initially seemed happy until their true intentions and natures revealed themselves to be a terrible pair. Now parents to a baby boy, a dangerous custody battle ensues, resulting in a difficult situation for all involved.

Sherry McCullough-Smith, who is constantly looking for ways to positively impact the lives of those around her through gospel singing or spreading Christ’s messages of love, has completed her new book “After the White Smoke Cleared”: a captivating tale following Ray and Diana, a young couple whose breakup and custody battle over their son leads those involved in the situation to seek God’s guidance to move on from terrible affair.

“A person cannot see inside another person’s heart or mind when they first meet that person,” writes McCullough-Smith. “All they see is a pretty painted picture of that person on the outside like the icing on a cake, very sweet, but what they cannot see is that the sweet cake is decayed on the inside. When you first meet someone, you only see the outside appearance; you do not see the flaws and baggage that come along with that person because you are distracted by their attraction.

“You strike up a conversation only to find out that you have something in common, and you say to yourself, ‘This is my soulmate’. Little do you know that the person who you think is your soulmate has ulterior motives because you think now you know them better.

“After you fall in love with them, you still don’t know them. It is only after you got married and lived together that you began to get to know them, and all their flaws and baggage began to show. Then the white smoke begins to clear, and by then, it is too late now because your heart has got involved. You are hooked, and it is hard to break away from them.

“And the only one who could get you out of that white smoke is God.”

Published by Page Publishing, Sherry McCullough-Smith’s spellbinding and character-driven drama will leave readers on the edge of their seats as they follow along with the once perfect crumbling relationship between Ray and Diana, and the violence that occurs as evil and selfishness encroaches upon the two. Full of suspense and shocking twists, this riveting tale will stay with readers long after its stunning conclusion.

Ameila Strang announces publication of ‘Sex in the Seminary’

Written by Ameila Strang, a seminary graduate, “Sex in the Seminary: Dating, Sex and Working for God” (published by Archway Publishing) is a collection of fictionalized dating stories penned by soon-to-be clergy seeking love in the modern world while also embracing faith.

Shared as diary entries, “Sex in the Seminary” offers kind-of–sort-of true dating stories “inspired” by dozens of real-life dating seminarians. Strang includes tales that were shared with her over the years during lunch, stories she acquired by eavesdropping in the library, and her own personal dating stories. The diary entries are an ode to the dating experiences, intimacy, and sex.

“I want the audience to be aware of the experiences of single clergy and see beyond the stereotypes of single clergy,” Strang says, adding that her book “provides the readers a glimpse into the private lives of single seminarians and explores how they can feel isolated and invisible in church culture where celibacy and marriage is expected in the church.”

“Sex in the Seminary” is available for purchase online at the Archway link above, from Barnes & Noble and on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Seminary-Dating-Working-God/dp/1665718560.
