Amy Liz Harrison is the bestselling author of two memoirs, “Eternally Expecting: A Mom of Eight Gets Sober and Gives Birth to a Whole New Life…Her Own” and “Eternally Awkward: A Future Mom of Eight Reflects on Mysteries of Anxiety, ADHD, and Coming of Age in the 80’s.” As a mother and a writer, Harrison felt inspired to create the “Kiss Your Brain” series of children’s books in 2023. This series tackles the big mental health topics her family—and all families—face. With five stories written from a child’s point of view, this series addresses substance abuse, eating disorders, and other mental health issues in a way that appeals to even the littlest readers.

Check out our newest section – ADDICTION FICTION WITH WILL THATCHER

Will Thatcher is a sober man. He is also a proud dad, a sometimes-successful entrepreneur, and he is doing his best as a husband. After he finishes with AA, family stuff, work, the gym, surfing, and mountain biking he writes addiction fiction thrillers that feature clean and sober characters. Addiction recovery themes provide endless opportunities for dramatic conflict and resolution.

Will’s stories are exciting, intense, character-driven explorations of these themes.  Will is also an Addiction Fiction enthusiast. While working on his own books, he steadily consumes and reviews the work of notable authors in the space. His reviews can be found on The Sober Curator, his social media accounts and on Goodreads.
