Flash Point: A Firefighter's Journey Through PTSD. It's actually a good book! People are skipping parties because they can't put it down. I really really really think you guys will love it. I did something really really really hard and wrote about it. @AbbyWambach @GlennonDoyle

I love a man/woman who drinks their coffee black and eats anchovies right out of the can.

I quit writing blog posts cuz I was afraid I'd write crappy ones and then no one would buy my book cuz they'd think my book was crappily written. I finally said, "fuck it" and wrote a blog post. #Iamwriting #authors #writingishard christyewarren.com/post/it-s…

Until leadership talks about mental health, it won't be ok for the rank and file to talk about it. This book will show you what it's like to have PTSD and feel all alone. @IAFFofficial @CalChiefs_CFCA @NFCC_FireChiefs @western_fire @YourFireChief @CALFIRE_CHIEF @California_TOs

Hey Seattle! This lady is hilarious, honest and so crazy insightful. I LOVED her book - it's about so much more than getting into college. It's about raising a real, imperfect family in a community that's based on perfection. #Seattle #booklovers #readthis nookandcrannybooks.com/produ…

I was a firefighter for 25 years and then was diagnosed with PTSD. I wrote all about it in my super vulnerable and raw memoir. Reviews are saying people can't put it down and it's very well written. Pretty please maybe check it out? @sherylsandberg @katiecouric
