Paganini & The Curse of the Trumpet Guided by Our Pain With nearly two-thirds of our nation suffering from some form of regressed mental and emotional pain, it is no wonder we continue to see an increase in violence all throughout this country, as well as around the world. The intentions of this book is to teach others how to effectively identify, acknowledge, and become triumphant over their pains. Guided by Our Pain explains the importance of how and why we must now begin to acknowledge our pains with the only true analyzer known to us, our hearts. This book allows us to easily see what pain really is and the catastrophic effects it has had upon us as individuals, as well as upon our society. This book unveils pain’s true nature, without all the whitewashing that has so often been overlooked and ignored by the mental community and its health professionals. It would be years later, while simultaneously gaining a greater extent of knowledge concerning the topic of pain, before he had finally acquired the necessary skills wherewith to properly address, explain and teach others how he thoroughly trounced his pain. Learning to understand the pains he suffered as a child enables him to withstand pain’s onslaught against him, even until today.
He has a passion for writing that is unmatched, even by many writers who are considered leaders in the publishing industry. He has what many call a forward-looking skill, something that is used in the world of business by many of the successful managers. The future of his writing, he believes, all hinges upon his next work, because his writing, as a product in the publishing world, he knows that it is only as good as his next book.
Many years ago Mr. DeMarcus learned what he considers as a very valuable lesson in life, and that was: A man can receive 99 at-a-boys, but it only take one aw-shit to bring him down. He fervently believes that his writing, like a business, he must continually try to stay a step ahead of his competition. Though he admires many of today's greatest writers and novelettes, he realizes that every man has his/her season, and he truly hopes to make this his season.
Since the introduction of his new book, The Corporate Genius, Mr. DeMarcus has looked forward to the release of his next new book/novel with the same level of excitement and enthusiasm.
