SELLING AUTHOR
Richard B. Pelzer
Richard
was born fourth of five boys in 1965, in Daly City, California. During his childhood,
Richard lived the nightmare, and horrors we only hear of, known as child abuse.
The California authorities learned of the unspeakable acts occurring in their
suburban California home and three other boys behind. Throughout his adolescence
and teen years, Richard suffered physical, mental, and emotional abuse at the
hands of his mother.
Richard
spent most of his teenage years moving about the country seeking the support and
love of a family. Richard barely survived his incredible abusive childhood and
his own self-destructive teenage years. After thirty years, with the support of
his wife, Richard created his first book A Brothers Journey ©. This collection
tells of the emotions and heartache that a child abuse victim carries throughout
those tender and short years from ages 5 to 15. A Brother's Journey © is
due for release January 10,2005.
His
second book, A Teenagers Journey© takes a hard look at a young man
struggling to find himself. A very honest and straightforward look at the challenges
facing teens that grow up as abused children, A Teenagers Journey©
provides a unique insight for anyone who has ever been a teenager. The experience
and honesty in this work is carefully woven into a life story of challenges, failures,
and accomplishments of a teenager desperate to find closure and leave his childhood
behind him. By the end of the series, the reader learns that grown men cry, and
often secretly desire to revert back to the innocence of childhood, at any age,
and that anything can be overcome with a purpose.
Richard
now spends his time as a writer working on several of his fiction novels that
will be available in the US soon.
