Guy Brooke grew up fascinated with the lyrical words of songs. How could he, too, manipulate such emotions? After years of writing close to one hundred songs, producing two self-published music albums, crafting and directing three original musical plays and conducting five guitar concerts through San Juan College (an institute Guy was teaching guitar for in Farmington, New Mexico), it proved easy for him to cross over into colorful rhyming stories for children and full blown fantasy novels for the young adults.
Guy loves life, loves the young and loves to write. Residing in the Pacific Northwest with his wife Barbara, Guy wishes to continue manipulating words until carpal tunnel takes its toll : )

Hello. My name is Rodney and I wrote a book titled Paralyzed Emotions.

I wrote a personal memoir confronting life with my mental illnesses. It is a series of letters written to my doctor back in the 1980's when I was first diagnosed. When I gave them to her, I never expected to see her again (she was moving to another state to practice). To my utter surprise she called me from a payphone in the Denver airport to tell me that I needed to publish them!

Well now, I didn't think they were anything special. And they were so very personal, I didn't feel ready to share. So, I prayed about it, and I felt that God wanted me to wait for 25 years. 30 years later a pandemic hit. While isolated God prompted me to finish the letters and publish it. So, I got them back out, dusted them off, and got to work! My prayer for this book is that it helps lift the veil of mystery surrounding mental health crises. Whether you are struggling with mental illness and feeling alone or you love someone who does and just don't understand how they feel this book will help.

I am a Philadelphia native. Most of my career has been in Broadcast Television, where I worked for almost 40 years with most of them overseeing the station’s locally produced and non-news programming. During my years in broadcasting, I received 9 Emmy Awards, 3 National Telly Awards, 6 PAB Awards, and the National Parent’s Choice Award. The programs I produced allowed me to work in many countries. In addition to my television life, I am a realtor, singer, and now the author of my first book.

I was born in Cape Town and lived the first thirty years of my life there before moving to the United Kingdom in 1995. There I practised law as an in-house lawyer in the life sciences industry before retiring in 2020 to take up my passion for writing. 

Since then, I have published two books related to the work I did during my legal career and a novella, The Box, which is my first foray into fiction writing. They are published on Amazon. 

I currently live in London with my husband, Manfred, who I met in Cape Town thirty years ago.

E.M. Wallis is the creative pseudonym of Michael Wallis, a versatile journalist and dedicated local government communications officer, who lives in the idyllic Southwest of England.

In his debut work, "Awaken the Warrior Inside," Michael crafts a soul-stirring anthology inspired by his daughter's battle with leukaemia at Bristol Children's Hospital. Navigating the tumultuous waters, their hospital room became a crucible for his poetic expression, delving into profound shadows of trauma— anxiety, fear, depression, and disbelief.

As a father of four, Michael understands the dynamics of strength and unity in the face of adversity. Through rhythmic prose, he captures the triumphs and struggles in the healing ward, offering solace and strength discovered through refection.

Michael extends his exploration into fiction with "The Haunting Flames." His soon to be released debut novel promises an exhilarating supernatural experience as protagonist Mark Wise renovates a fire-ravaged hotel, uncovering eerie history and facing malevolent entities. Seances highlight surprising revelations, and a final confrontation with the vengeful spirit seeking justice, the novel culminates in a triumph over darkness.

Join E.M. Wallis on this thrilling journey where the echoes of the supernatural intertwine with the enduring spirit of human resilience.
