The Tick Slayer- My New Book

This track season is going to be stellar and I’m going to mystify a lot of people. They are going to be wondering where the hell I came from and I’m going to say, ” that’s right…from hell.”

The Tick Slayer

For those who don’t know, I decided to write a book about my whereabouts for the last 5 years. I just disappeared from Track and Field.  The book is about my health crisis and what I had to do to make it back to the track.  It’s a good story (it will be very inspiring to many people) and everything in the book is very candid about the journey and what I experienced.  I think it will resonate with the masses, because EVERYONE knows someone (loved one, family member, co-worker, friend, etc.) who has had a serious illness or condition (or is presently dealing with one).

I didn’t want to just write another story of success because I feel there are plenty out there. I wrote it because I knew my take on the situation and success was not ordinary or mainstream.  It offers a viewpoint that will be life changing for many.

I wrote something that will be very helpful to anyone in this type of situation (the details of what I had to do to get healthy). Lyme disease is just another autoimmune disease and honestly Lupus, ALS, MS, Alzheimer’s, Lyme disease, Cancer and a slew of other diseases are very similar. We love to give names to diseases and then pretend they are all different and “special” but honestly, everyone who gets sick with an autoimmune issues, has the same systematic, total body, break down.  The treatment may vary, but why people get sick in the first place is ALL TOO SIMILAR.

The hardest part about the book is that I’m a private person and I’ve had to get over it. Having a story that thousands and probably millions of people will read scares me, but I’ve gotten pretty tough over the years.  I feel like I have the support of enough people who love me, so I jumped into this and it’s too late to go back now. …ah, I probably wouldn’t go back anyway!  It’s going to press in a few months!  www.TheTickSlayer.com

I’m working hard right now to get this totally completed. I’ve started pre season training for the upcoming track season with a new coach.  Once the races come, my job is running, winning and promoting my book.
