The term "Brush Out" refers to an attempt to cover our tracks so that no one will notice. Sometimes the Brush Out is so well done that the only people who can tell are those who have passed by this road before. In my career I experienced trauma, loss and disappointment. I learned to cope by trial and error and came out on the other side with the knowledge to help others on this journey.A career risking your life for the sake of others is an honorable career. There is an amazing statistic in Law Enforcement. That statistic reflects the fact that you are more likely to die by suicide than by an assailant. Too many agencies ignore this fact. First Responders are trained and equipped to deal with traumatic and difficult situations. They are trained to run towards what most people by instinct run away from. Yet, in my opinion we are not trained and given the equipment to deal with the toll our chosen profession has on our lives.Officers get stuck in a fatal funnel. A fatal funnel that they believe the one thing they have in life is in jeopardy or is gone and they convince themselves the world would be a better place without them. Suicide to them is a desperate attempt to stop the pain they are causing to themselves and others.Instead of this fatal funnel we should learn to adapt and cope with the ever changing facets of our career choice up and through retirement. We must remember how to stay connected to the good things in life (family, hobbies, fitness, friends etc...).Terence Shigg is the CEO of TLShigg Inc. (www.tlshigginc.com) Mr. Shigg has a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He has utilized the techniques in this book in his work, in his private practice, and in his personal life. It has worked for him and it will work for you.

Imagine all animals having the power of speech; species cooperating with each other to build rich societies; others equally determined to tear them down! This is a tale of such a world, in an 'hour of need.'Great burdens may be by unlikely heroes borne. And few heroes are more 'unlikely' than the arrogant young Donkey who hopes to tread in the hoofprints of his Grandsire, the illustrious Donkie Otie. Yet the fates have decreed that the naïve young Jack is destined to save the One True Realm from a devastating and ruinous war . . . or die trying! Can he do it on his own? Obviously not!After an absence of ten generations, an Immortal Guardian has been called back. The Guardian (resembling an enormous panda and possessed of two distinct personalities) grudgingly takes up the burden of keeping the young fool in one piece long enough for him to be thrown into the fray. Along the way they assemble a small cast of supporting characters: A tormented three-legged Chihuahua with an agenda of their own; an amoral, cynical Japanese Macaque; an orphaned young 'bald ape' with strong survival skills and a powerful female gorilla with a mysterious past. The story moves through a world that is very different from and yet uncomfortably similar to our own. The narrative can be whimsical, funny, touching, ironic, heartbreaking and (occasionally) a little bit romantic as it races to a dramatic and exciting conclusion.

Do you believe in ghosts? Whether you do or not, Arthur Mills' traumatic true-life experience in The Empty Lot Next Door will make you question the nature of reality. Find out who Candle Face was, her taunting behavior, and how she turned a boy's childhood into a living nightmare. The Second Edition: More Truth, More Terror The much-acclaimed memoir The Empty Lot Next Door (originally published in 2010) returns in its more terrifying second edition, released in 2023. While the original captivated young readers worldwide, this reimagined version is crafted to unsettle even the most seasoned horror fans. Arthur Mills masterfully reworks the story to align more closely with true events, adding greater depth, psychological tension, and vivid imagery. The Empty Lot Next Door Storyline In an Austin neighborhood, Ray (Arthur's childhood name) and his family excitedly moved into a small house in the midst of a big, green lawn. Beside their house is a strange, vacant lot where a house once stood, and a huge hole in the back lies mysteriously. As a young boy with many new friends, Ray considers the empty lot an exciting playground. But the tale behind the lot keeps the boy intrigued and frightened as he learns that the house that was once there was burned down years ago, leaving a girl dead amid the fire. As the neighborhood kids say, the little girl will haunt anyone who dares to jump into the hole. Determined to validate the authenticity of this tale, Ray daringly and mistakenly challenges the ghost, a challenge that he will forever regret. Soon, he becomes haunted by the little girl, whom he named Candle Face, due to her charred face and body. The apparition began visiting his dreams and leaving handprints and other signs around the house, even when Ray was awake. The Empty Lot Next Door is more than a ghost story. It's also a story of the desperation, pain, and helplessness experienced by children whose parents work long hours away from home, necessarily leaving them to fend for themselves against real and imagined evils. It's about sibling abuse and the scars that such abuse leaves on the victims and the abusers. The Empty Lot Next Door is also a story of an intense struggle of a child to make sense of the world without communicating his fears and thoughts to the adults in his life since he doesn't want to add to the family's problems. What the Critics Are Saying Critics agree that The Empty Lot Next Door is a ghost story at its finest, perhaps all the more so because it's a true story. Professional book critic Lisa McCurley says, "After the first night of sleeping with the light on, I ended up taking off two afternoons from work to finish it which is all it took because I couldn't put this book down." Kirkus Reviews agrees, "In a coming-of-age story that's well paced and layered with emotion, Mills creates moments of true suspense through guileless prose as he unearths a family tragedy." Anyone who enjoys being scared or wants to investigate whether ghosts are real will add The Empty Lot Next Door to the must-read list. Award-Winning Book When Arthur Mills wrote The Empty Lot Next Door, some neighbors and family quit speaking to him; they didn't want to acknowledge the local element of his true-life story of ghosts, bullying, and suicide, but that didn't stop his new book from winning awards.Reviewers Choice Awards (First Edition)Kids Award for Best Teen / Young Adult Book of the YearTeen (12-16) - First PlaceRegional South - First PlaceParenting, Family, and Relationships - Honorable Mention
