Not everyone has an easy time reading, but everyone enjoys a good story. For those who prefer to hear and see their stories, I do YouTube Livestream Events about every two weeks. Where I create videos of myself reading from my books. I read from “Was I Ever Normal” my second novel that was recently published and is available for sale at Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million, Amazon, and multiple independent bookstores.
I also have videos of myself reading from my book “Changing Destiny’s Destiny”, a book where, in alternating viewpoints, Destiny and her mother Bonnie tell the story of a family battling the monsters that are childhood-onset schizoaffective disorder and gastroparesis so severe she requires a feeding tube. “Changing Destiny’s Destiny” follows Destiny and her family through a stint at a residential treatment center called The Jackson Center which is a setup for her to fail. To purchase this book as an e-book you can read at your own pace click here.
In addition, I have videos from an alternate version of “Changing Destiny’s Destiny” and a novel called Chronically Alive: A Story of Sick which is based on my blog.
I have all the videos of myself reading chapters from these books on this page in one collection organized by book. There are also a few miscellaneous videos that I thought were important to include as well.
Enjoy these videos and you can also check out my events page for upcoming YouTube Livestream Events that you can sign up for on my Facebook page Becca’s Blog: Chronically Alive.
