There are many reasons why I have written and published my newest two books.
It was to share my journey of resilience and share HOPE with others.
At the end of the day, I will not let Fibromyalgia define me.
I will fight this disease on the right side and the one that stands for me!
I will continue to be happy and NOT LET TAKE OVER MY BLISS In Life. ~Author/Advocate Deb Morgan
Keeping Up The Positive Fight!
“You have a chronic incurable illness;” those were the words the Doctor told me on the day I found out I had fibromyalgia.
It could be treated, but it could not be cured. Another illness, one with lifetime pain and the loss of strength, eventually in my muscles, which included my heart and lungs. I was damn angry as my life was changing drastically again, with nothing I could do about it. Some nights, I would lay awake in bed and ask myself what I did to deserve this. Of course, the answer was that nobody deserves it.
My anger only served to make it worse.
I would look in the mirror some days and aside from the worn-out face looking back at me I didn’t look sick. A curse had darkened my doorstep this disease was killing me from the inside out. Not literally but more importantly in the physical and mental sense.
I soon found that all the bargaining to try and make a deal with the almighty was being done in my mind over an invisible enemy. This disease makes itself blatantly clear that it is the boss, was I just going to roll over and let it kill me? Should it have the right to define me?
My life may be different than what it was before, but I still laugh and smile. I may not live the most active life right now, but I now enjoy the conversation with my family and friends. I was unable to move through life as quickly as I did before, but now I know the importance of slowing down and not letting life pass you by.
I may not have a lot of good days physically, so I’ve come to appreciate the good days so much more. I may have lost a lot of things in this battle, but I’ve gained a lot of the spoils. I have a new and improved outlook on life because early in my heartstopping diagnosis I promised myself I would not let this disease take over my life. . .❣️

********
Breaking The Silence by Deborah Morgan is aptly sub-titled Confronting Guilt and Shame in The Chronic Pain World. Deb, who has written her memoir about living with chronic pain, identifies that many chronic pain sufferers deal with a large amount of shame and guilt due to childhood experiences and the way society at large and family view and treat those who suffer from chronic pain. She provides thought-through techniques and advice to overcome these feelings and live a successful and fulfilling life.
Being a chronic pain sufferer herself, Deb shows insight and understanding of the difficulties faced by sufferers, be it how to cope with the emotions and feelings that can lead to isolation or how to deal with family members who minimize or negate their condition. The aim of this book is to set chronic pain sufferers free from guilt and shame and cultivate open and honest communication between those affected.
First, I want to share that I have chosen to keep my Kindle books and the paperbacks on sale through August 18th, 2024 from Amazon, and now that summer is in full swing, those of us who have challenging symptoms from chronic illnesses don’t always have the luxury of enjoying summertime like everyone else, and the activities and places we like to spend a warm summer day like the beach, the pool, or the lake.
Especially when you battle with chronic pain, which most times comes with many types of chronic disease. Per an article in Forbes mag., More than 51 million Americans experienced chronic pain in 2021 alone, according to CDC reports that analyzed data from the National Health Interview Survey. This staggering number now supports 20.9% of the United States population alone.
If you face chronic pain challenges, I hope you consider checking out my new book ‘Breaking The Silence’ and see if my shared experiences in the book can help you manage your chronic pain and much more. If you do read my books?
I hope you will consider leaving a rating and review on Amazon for each book which would be appreciated. I am writing a third book, so your reviews help me know what readers want within these topics I write about…
Father Callahan is forced back into dangerous filth, corruption, and crime. Can he remain a celibate priest, or will he abandon the life of faith for more sensual pleasures? Will he stay a good man or return to the dark criminal life he once knew so well?”
At Home Among Sinners The John Callahan Series Book 1 by Elizabeth Upton Genre: Romantic Mystery Thriller
John Callahan is a good man with a bad past — and his past will not let him live in peace. Against the odds, he matures from a teenage Belfast street thug and an IRA killer to a happily married man and expectant father. Then fate snatches away his wife, his unborn child—and his world—in the flash of a tragic accident for which he feels responsible.
Years later, just as he begins to find peace and serenity again as a monk in a rural Irish monastery, a vindictive superior banishes the handsome young priest to a derelict parish in New York City. Ripped away from his quiet, cloistered life, Father Callahan is plunged back into a dangerous cacophony of filth, corruption, and crime.
Will he remain a celibate priest or will he abandon the life of faith for more sensual pleasures? Will he remain a good man or return to the dark criminal life he once knew so well?
In this exciting, insightful novel, Elizabeth Upton puts readers inside the mind of a passionate, wounded, and angry young priest as he struggles to live in a state of grace among new friends and enemies in a foreign land.
The Web of Darkness and Light The John Callahan Series Book 2
Demons never tire. Like the banshees of Irish legend, they cling to John Callahan and fill his heart with wails of despair.
No matter how John tries to live an exemplary life, the former IRA killer is haunted by the memories of the horrors he has suffered — and those he has inflicted in return. Not the monastic life, not the vows of the priesthood, not the move from Ireland to New York City has brought him peace.
In this second gripping novel in the series by Elizabeth Upton, John Callahan has resigned from the priesthood in the hope of living a simpler life as a professor at New York University. However, his promise to a distraught colleague — who soon turns up dead — plunges him into another mystery alongside his friend Ronald Casey, a detective with the NYPD. Who would want to kill a professor of neuroscience? What could be contained in the briefcase she has guarded, quite literally, with her life?
It begins to be clear that Dr. Shannon Grey Feather has discovered a cure for addiction and several complex brain disorders. That is a medical breakthrough worth millions — and one worth killing over. Once again confronted by murder’s cruelty and life’s injustices, Callahan must find a killer while coming to terms with his criminal past. He longs for true peace and genuine love, but before he can hope for a bright future, he must revisit his dark past — where the looming demons dwell.
Lovers’ Secrets and Revenge The John Callahan Series Book 3
How much does family matter? And what if there are unknown details about them?
John Callahan visits his beloved grandmother, Annabelle, at her 500-acre estate in Ireland. The peaceful countryside is beautiful, with lush hills that overlook the coastline, so different from Callahan’s home in New York City. After Annabelle dies, Callahan discovers that she’s left everything to him. However, there are some challenges with the staff, where secrets abound, including murder and heightened security on the estate that can’t seem to control the chaos that is happening.
Callahan is perplexed, wanting to solve the murder, understand the workings of the estate, and also longing for a relationship that would create a happy home. He meets Sara, the woman in charge of the horses at the estate, and longs to be with her. Throughout the busy days of work, travel, and wondering if he’s in love, John remembers Annabelle’s words. “Whenever you need my help, rub this precious jewel for consolation, wisdom, and protection. Call me when needed, dearest Johnnie, and I shall come to you.”
Learn how Callahan meets the challenges of revenge, murder, and love to discover the true meaning of friends and family.
