Alessi shares, "I wrote Elsie's Anxious during the middle of the night when I could not sleep because of my anxiety. My boyfriend adopted a hedgehog and gave the hedgehog to me for Christmas because I have wanted one since I met him because he is really into exotic animals that are not necessarily found in the United States. If you asked me years ago if I ever thought I would have a hedgehog to take care of, I would have laughed and said no way! I named my hedgehog Elsie because I really like the way it sounds. I think it is very cute! The title of my book is Elsie's Anxious because Elsie is anxious just like me. She gets really nervous and scared when there is no reason to be those things. She is just like me! Hedgehogs have quills, and when their quills go up, it means they are anxious in some way. I feel that a hedgehog is a perfect animal to represent anxiety in a children's book."

For my comrades, my mom and my dad, and my two sisters who showed me what it means to be different. For the drug addicts that fiend but still dream of better conditions, huddled with puddles on pillows with Brillos and pipes, not bathed or slept in days, high as a kite. For the single parents that struggle working doubles, taxing their muscles so their children can comfortably cuddle and sleep at night. For the people looking for peace through the pieces of life, each intricate piece significant in this puzzle of life. I speak for the weak, for the innocent lives that died in the streets. For Kalen, my nephew, and for Kaira, my niece. I'm standing tall for my uncle Paul who died at the homeless shelter in his sleep. For my aunt Vanessa—God bless her; she left us at peace. For hip-hop unlocking the key and making this an option for me. For my ancestors, the investors in this struggle who made it possible for me. For Thomas Edison, for constituting this beautiful medicine for me. For the Almighty, who told him rightly it's only right that we have the freedom to speak. And for giving me this platform as a uniform for community outreach. Through the eyes of a crying soul. My fears have been exposed through the windows of my soul…through the eyes of a crying soul."

Fulton Books author Barb Leon, RN, MSN, PHN, a registered nurse who found her calling in caring for cancer patients, has completed her most recent book "Walking onto Sacred Ground: Sharing a Registered Nurses' Career in Oncology and Hospice, to Diminish the Fear and Anxiety About Death": a beautiful examination of the peace and serenity found at the end of life.

"Death, a subject not talked about freely by many of us, is commonly ignored although it is an important discussion to have," shares Leon. "The lack of this discussion results in a continued fear and anxiety that surrounds this finite end of life as we know it. As a registered nurse, it is my belief that dealing with these emotions rather than avoiding the subject of death is to understand our role in life, to realize we are all mortals, and that it is our destiny to live and die.

"This life event is something none of us can bargain ourselves out of although we may feel we need to stay on earth forever for our own personal reasons. When we acknowledge that we have such a short period of time to live, and we have only this one life on earth, then this will hopefully allow us to live life to the fullest. Rather than procrastinating what we wish we could do tomorrow, do what you wish to do today and stop living in fear and anxiety.

"In all my years of being present during a patient's death, this moment, as the end of life as we know it, should not be feared. Do know when I reflect on the patients I cared for in the hospital and in the hospice setting present for the end of life, their passing was serene, peaceful, without pain, and without fear."

Published by Fulton Books, Barb Leon, RN, MSN, PHN's book draws from the author's vast experiences as an oncology and hospice nurse and attempts to demystify death and what occurs at the end of one's life. Though a natural part of life, Leon acknowledges the anxieties that often surround death, and she uses her stories in the hopes of easing these tensions.

Stretch your heart and mind and imagination to the depths of the universe and back. Go on adventures that will lead you to emotions you never knew you had. Visit depths of thought which will lead you to love and heartbreak, seasons which know the living and the passed. Die and breathe with me in war and silent peace, times of fruitful plenty, and times of death's scarce bones. Enjoy endings where you find yourself alone on an island examining the flesh and breath of your existence. With vivid imagery that won't leave you in the dark unless we are paying homage to the sacred night. So pack your bags and trip with me as we travel from your soul to your heart to your mind. We will trudge through sun and moon, rivers and oceans, man to woman to child, blood and laughter, and universes of little secrets in your psyche all in the comfort of your own eyes."
