The Embarrassing Memory Murderer by David Tieck cover reveal

The Embarrassing Memory Murderer by David Tieck
 
 
 
Hilarious Memoir Shares One Man’s Embarrassing Journeys, Many Failures and Life Lessons
The Embarrassing Memory Murderer (published by iUniverse) shares the memoir of author David Tieck’s endless array of humiliating memories as he comes to grip with his past, finds his adventurous spirit, and offers hope, wisdom and understanding to anyone who is willing to laugh about their own disconcerting moments, WELL, that was the idea at least  
 
I had a plan. It was simple, if I could let all of my worst, most humiliating, and most painful memories each inspire some sort of adventure or challenge, then these memories would finally be adding something positive to my life, and by doing so I could murder the pain, and live a happier life. Ah, thinking about all my most horrible memories all the time, this is going to be awesome, what could possibly go wrong?
It started out great, my horrible past epic shyness, extremely late puberty, and fondness for bleeding and then crying in front of my friends led me to the Cannes Film Festival, tulip shopping in Amsterdam and hanging out with real life vampires in Paris. However then I had an awful break up, I had a bunch of things go really wrong, suffered a smidge of severe mental and physical pain, started to flirt with madness, went on a jovial jaunt through the darkest realms of my brain, and started flinging away everything that was important to me. Oh and along the way and I had a bunch of fun, a ton of laughs, met some awesome people and some celebrities, partied a lot, had some adventures, and eventually learned a lot about life.
You’ll laugh, you’ll want to slap me in the face, maybe give me a hug or two, then slap me a few times more – I really am a big stupid damn idiot. Please laugh at my pain; I truly deserve it.

As a publishing house we strive to bring forth innovative and inventive forms of storytelling to the eager readers out there. With an experienced ‘team’ that brings the skill and knowledge of writing, designing and editing to the table - yet also offers a youthful exuberance when it comes to producing fresh, unique ideas to enhance the future of publishing—H.I.P. does it all!
We hope you enjoy being a part of our journey as we venture forth into this amazing industry.

We are currently OPEN for submissions.
We are looking to acquire an array of young adult and new adult literature. Our team is especially interested in unique concepts that break through the current stereotypes in the market, offering strong and genuine characters, innovative concepts, and ‘fresh’ voices to enhance the industry.
Both previously published authors, as well as those looking to debut with a strong support team behind them who will show them the ropes, are welcome. We understand the reality of this difficult-to-break-into industry, and we use the knowledge and skill we have gained in order to give each one of our authors the best chance of reaching a thoughtful, eager audience.
