Sleep Dream Rise
I, a Squealer
Readers Favorite Book Award Winner
The year was 1965. The Beatles, Elvis Presley, and The Righteous Brothers filled the airwaves. Television shows like The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and The Andy Griffith Show reflected the innocence of life in the dusty city of Tucson, Arizona. But beyond the sunbaked desert surrounding Tucson, a sinister secret was unfolding. A psychopath named Charles Schmid—later dubbed the “Pied Piper of Tucson” by Life magazine—would shatter that innocence, along with the lives of three teenage girls.
In this firsthand account, written in 1967, Richard Bruns recounts the evolution of his friendship with Schmid, his descent into a situation far beyond his control, and the courage it ultimately took to come forward—bringing an end to a deadly rampage that shocked the nation and forever changed the city of Tucson.
Soaring Above Co-Addiction
Library Journal Highly Recommended
Are you in a relationship with someone struggling with addiction? Have your efforts to help left you feeling overwhelmed or powerless?
You can find a steadier path forward.
In this multi-award-winning book, readers are guided toward regaining a sense of control, creating healthy boundaries, and reconnecting with their own strength. With a compassionate and practical approach, it offers support for navigating the challenges of addiction—while helping you move toward a life that feels more balanced, empowered, and your own.
There is no Hero in Heroin.
Jan Nargi, a registered nurse and single mother of two, spent years working in emergency rooms, recognizing the signs of addiction in others—yet struggled to see them within her own family. Her son, Tommy, began abusing OxyContin at sixteen and was using heroin by eighteen. This is their story.
Told from both perspectives, it traces his life in pursuit of the next high, and her relentless effort to reach him. Together, they share an honest and unflinching account of addiction’s impact on a family, and the hope that can emerge through connection, courage, and truth.
Their collaboration is both a step toward healing and an offering to others facing similar struggles—reminding readers that while addiction is powerful, a different path forward is possible.
