I Found You – My Books.

I can’t believe you’re finally here. I’ve been looking for you for so long, sometimes I forgot I was looking. Sometimes I forgot why I was here. But now you and me, we’re both here, in the same time and in the same place, and I can finally tell you everything I’ve always wanted to tell you.

 

In 2013, my depression overwhelmed me and caused me to stop writing. From the outside, I had an enviable life. I was a #1 bestselling writer, I’d met the woman of my dreams and I was surrounded by people who told me they loved me. But depression doesn’t care about what you’ve accomplished or who loves you. I found a way back and I wrote down some of the conversations I had with myself and others along the way here. There are a lot of things I still can’t say, either to myself or others, but I’ve written most of it down in here, and that’s something. It’s real, and I’m holding it in my hands, and soon, you can too. Thank you to everyone who’s stuck around along the way.

Order Intentional Dissonance

“It’s been 10 years since the world officially ended. In the last city on Earth, Jon Salt is addicted to Sadness, a drug that invokes its name, and obsessed with his lover, Michelle; both of which threaten to drive him insane. Strange creatures and new technologies appeared in the last days of humanity and the widespread adoption of teleportation technology sundered the fabric of time and space, leaving a smattering of looping ghosts. It is a sad, monotone world, but the remaining populace is happy, thanks to the anti-depressants in the water supply. The last government on Earth has taken a special interest in a gift that Jon possesses: the ability to make his thoughts real. Jon must rely on that gift and the help of a few unlikely friends to stay one step ahead of those who desperately want to use him for something far more sinister than even he could dream…”

Order How To Be Happy: Not A Self-Help Book 

“Central Avenue Publishing is proud to publish another book by the widely acclaimed poet Iain S. Thomas. As many have noted on various social media platforms, there have been some issues that have led to the delayed release of this book. For this, we apologise and hopefully the content of the book will clarify the circumstances surrounding this delay. We feel we should also point out that this is not technically a self-help book, but it does contain some poignant prose, poetry and stories which may or may not lead you to happiness. Mostly, it is the rather unfortunate chronicle of a man’s attempt to write the book he’s promised his publisher, no matter the cost to his sanity.”

How to be happy is a collection of poetry, prose and short stories set within the context of my attempt (and failure) at writing a self-help book on being happy. Click here to order it now.
