My brother took his own life on May 7th. Now I’m working on collecting accounts of people who have lost loved ones to suicide in order to publish a book. Full details in alt text.

By Their Own Hand

My name is Jim Dodge. My brother, Ricky, took his own life on May 7th. This has been one of the hardest things I have ever dealt with. In the hopes of helping others through this kind of tragedy I’m working on collecting accounts of people who have lost loved ones to suicide in order to publish a book. It will be entitled By Their Own Hand. I'm hoping to connect with anybody interested in participating in this project. This is intended to be a way to help people heal, feel supported, and honor those they’ve lost.

Any profit will be donated towards suicide and mental health support and awareness organizations and services.

There’s no word count requirement but the things that need to be included are:

1) Your name and the name of the departed as you would like them to appear in the book.

2) Your relationship with the person you lost.

3) Birthdate and date of passing (if known).

4) A photo if you would like one included. These will be printed in black and white so bear that in mind when you choose your photo.

5) Poetry is welcome as long as you include a paragraph or two that includes the information listed above.

There’s no payment for having your piece included but each contributor will be able to order up to 10 copies at a discounted price. I won’t know the prices for these until I have completed formatting the book but I will update everyone as I collect the information. By Their Own Hand will be self-published by me through my JXD Books imprint. I will be doing final editing and formatting but help in promotion is always welcome. If you have any questions you can reach me at jimxwrites@gmail.com.

I can also be found on:

My brother took his own life on May 7th. This grief is like nothing I've ever experienced. I’m working on collecting accounts of people who have lost loved ones in this manner in order to publish a book. It will be entitled By Their Own Hand. Full details in alt text.

I’m working on collecting accounts of people who have lost loved ones to suicide in order to publish a book. It will be entitled By Their Own Hand. I’m doing this for two main reasons; support for those who have lost someone by suicide and the hope that someone who feels like the world would be better off without them can see just how much they mean to the people around them. There’s no word count requirement but the things that need to be included are:

1) Your name and the name of the departed as you would like them to appear in the book.
2) Your relationship with the person you lost.
3) Birthdate and date of passing.
4) A photo if you would like one included. These will be printed in black and white so bear that in mind when you choose your photo.
5) Poetry is welcome as long as you include a paragraph or two that includes the information listed above.
All proceeds from book sales will be donated to suicide and mental health awareness and prevention charities and organizations. I’ll keep track of these transactions in a ledger so that anyone can see them upon request. There’s no payment for having your piece included but each contributor will be able to order up to 10 copies at a discounted price. I won’t know the prices for these until I have completed formatting the book but I will update everyone as I collect the information.

The picture is of an ethereal blonde woman's resting face, laying back upon red velvet. She has a silver implant in her hair. In front of her is a round, gothic window with gold filigree. Leaves, faces and fish are in the filigree's design.

I have books through 2 publishers and 1 on the way from a 3rd. The first 2 rarely post about any books they release and mostly just share the ads I make. The 3rd, Nightmare Press, advertises frequently and consistently mentions their authors.

When the dead rose, the world was plunged into darkness. Though many people survived and some even thrived, the majority perished and joined the ranks of the undead. But there's hope, in the form of 13-year-old Mitzie Collins, a girl who claims to be immune to the zombie virus (though you shouldn't use the z-word, it's bad luck). Her lie quickly turns fatal to the people she needs most and, in the end, a mission of hope could end in tragedy. Set in the Florida Panhandle, The Bite is a zombie novel like no other!
