Twice in her life, Vanessa Jones accidentally touched an electric fence. Each of those sudden jolts made her acutely aware that there were things she missed which others did not. It wasn't until she received an ADHD diagnosis in her early 40's, however, that she began piecing together the ways in which a lifetime of undiagnosed ADHD had left her missing important details like a dissolving marriage, frustrated co-workers, and how to cross the street. Using cited research and relatable, personal stories, Vanessa Jones has written a self-help book that provides explanations to questions ADHD-ers often wonder, such as "Why do I put my foot in my mouth so often?" and "Why can't I start (or finish) certain projects?" Each chapter begins with a humorous lament, written as an epitaph, that epitomizes the struggles of people with ADHD as they have attempted to navigate a world not built for them. If you've been wanting to identify your adult ADHD traits so you can take control of your own trajectory (but couldn't maintain your interest long enough to finish a book about it), come on in. This is a story about you.An English teacher, writer and voice actor, Ms. Jones did a deep dive into ADHD research when she received her adult ADHD diagnosis. She applied this knowledge to her teaching practices with ADHD students, and she wrote down her own stories to make sense of the impact of ADHD on her life. The result is an ADHD-friendly guidebook, complete with an engaging, poignant, laugh-out-loud personal narrative woven throughout that illustrates the various challenges of ADHD, one symptom at a time.

From the author of 'Twelve', the story of a tangled, obsessive friendship. Gifted, magnetic, a virtuoso with a short temper, Lee defies his background to win a scholarship to the prestigious Cabresi academy of music. James ? richer, less gifted and less charismatic ? leeches onto the teenage prodigy to feed off his fame and genius, and to bask in Lee's reflected glory. Slowly, stealthily, James fuels Lee's increasing need for women and illicit substances, the better to pull the strings, keep him close. Watching all of this is Peter, whose conversations with Lee call into question Lee's tangled relationship with James. Peter appears uniquely placed to present a clear picture of this obsessive, increasingly destructive friendship. Gradually, he reveals the truth behind their power struggle, and the events that led to Lee's tragic, drug-fuelled death... Gripping and lean, considered and powerful, Vanessa Jones's darkly brilliant second novel confirms the arrival of a bright British talent.
