Amazon Bestselling Author Michelle Lovett to Hold Book Release Mixer
by BWW News Desk - December 06, 2019
Join us Saturday, December 14, 2019 as we celebrate the release of 'Life, Love, & Lock Up (Volume 2)-My Pain Became My Character.' This is the next book in the highly anticipated series 'Life, Love, & Lock Up' by internationally known/award winning author Michelle Lovett. Lovett offers, 'Volume 2 picks up where 'Volume 1' leaves off, but from the male point of view.' She continues, 'Women are not the only victims when it comes to abuse. I learned while on tour with my first book, many men suffer in silence. They are embarrassed to share their experiences related to physical, mental, or emotional mistreatment, because society many times portrays men as weak if they cry or report it. My goal with this project is to have men tell their experiences, while hopefully helping others.'
