One in six American adults take psychiatric medication and yet, doctors are
only allotted twenty-minute appointments that are spaced out by months at a
time. This book starts at minute twenty-one and is filled with everything
you wish your doctor had time to explain about mental health. Nearly sixty
million American adults struggle with mental illness but half are not
receiving any treatment and only a quarter of them have access to
psychotherapy. With demand for treatment far outpacing supply, our current
mental health crisis requires a new approach that goes beyond the
limitations of the health care system.

Dr. Julia Krankl, a Harvard and UCLA-trained psychiatrist, trauma
resilience specialist and physician educator details her mental wellness
menu-fifteen practical ways to improve mental health that don’t involve
taking a pill or doing formal therapy. Readers of The 21st Minute will be
empowered to become the hero of their mental wellness journey using tools
that work. The 21st Minute bridges the gap between what doctors hurriedly
explain in twenty minutes and what we all need to thrive. For physicians and
therapists who practice holistic mental health care, The 21st Minute stands
as an evidence-based resource of alternatives and adjuncts to medication
management and psychotherapy.

The 21st Minute offers an accessible and transformative roadmap to optimal
mental wellness using modern medicine, evolutionary psychology and diverse
cultural perspectives. If you are ready for a new approach to achieve your
mental health goals on your terms-this is it.

Mama Dallas and Augie is an epic novel that brings to life the Italian
American experience, centering on New York’s first
“Godmother,” Concetta. Her journey begins in Italy and leads to
New York’s notorious Five Points, where she fiercely protects
vulnerable young prostitutes. After tragedy strikes and she believes her
son, Augie, is dead, Concetta dedicates her life to her family and the
struggling poor in the Italian sector slums of New York.

But Augie survives, posing as an American spy and diving into a dangerous
underworld that spans from New York to France and Turkey, eventually
becoming embroiled in the infamous pre-WWII “French Connection”
drug trade. His charm and cunning keep him one step ahead of both mobsters
and law enforcement as he navigates in the shadows that intersect with
powerful OSS agents and German operatives, leading to his capture and
imprisonment in Dachau only to return to America to bring justice to his
family name.

 

Based on a true story, Mama Dallas and Augie spans decades of love,
betrayal, espionage, and war—an unforgettable saga of loyalty,
resilience, and family bonds.

Sean Roberts loved farming and his girlfriend. After they broke up she
disappeared into San Francisco’s drug filled hippie environment of the
1960s. Her parents were frantic and no one in their small-town seemed able
to help them find their daughter. They reached out to Sean and he agreed to
search for their lost daughter.

His search forced Sean to assume his nom de plume, George Wescot and enter
a world of extreme wealth and of people who only cared about their own
pleasures and not the pain it caused other people. George uses his skills
learned from hunting, fighting and evasion to penetrate this sadistic
society. Subsequently, he pursued across the United States, India, and
Europe. Finally, Sean stopped running from the Brothers, and started hunting
those people who caused his ex-girlfriend’s and her family’s pain from
injuries she sustained.

EXCERPT

“Justice shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live,” Jewish Publication

Society 1917. According to Hebrew scholars, “justice this is truth.”

Those Hebrew scholars also believed “Justice is approved by God and to

deny it one must face the consequences.” Revenge for a just cause is morally

acceptable. Revenge for a just cause is therefore morally acceptable

in God’s eyes. In 1625 Francis Bacon wrote, “the most tolerable type of

revenge concerns those wrongs which no law can remedy.”

The two boys sat on the hard reddish oak plank floor surrounded by

dark paneled walls, smoking a joint. San Francisco’s late May noon sun

warmed their room. They were bored. One casually said, as if discussing

a meaningless subject, “Let’s take her, she’ll make a great fuckin’ prize.”

His partner’s alabaster skin glistened as his snake eyes became slits. He

snapped, “Ya, we’ll do it,” and took another hit. With those few words,

she disappeared. Her fantasy ended and her nightmare began.

About the Author

Patrick L Scott Esq

I have been a writer all my life. I wasn’t very good partly because I’m
dyslexic and partly because of my dyslexia I was a terrible reader. But I
love to write and therefore wrote often. I wrote many stories. One was
published in a magazine. Before the pandemic I started writing my first
novel,”Farm Tough”, and self published it. The book got good
reviews from readers but wasn’t promoted. Shortly thereafter, I started to
write “A Just Revenge” partly about my time at Yuba College, Chico
State College, Los Angeles and finally Europe. I found that I write best
when I write about something I know, about something I’ve done or about
something I feel.
