NEW AUTHOR ANNOUNCEMENTS

Melanie John

Melanie John is a 48 year old mother of two young adults, now 27 and 21 years of age. Born and bred in Swansea, South Wales, she runs her own business as a freelance Retrofit & Energy Assessor. A self-proclaimed tomboy, she is licensed to drive Lorries and motorbikes and rode a motorbike for almost six years. Having suffered at the hands of at least 3 narcissists, she now makes it her mission to help, even one person to take their time and really get to know someone (before committing to a relationship) and not fall for false promises. Mel believes it is vital to only trust in someone’s actions (over a period of time) and NEVER just their words.
Mel explains in her book, ” Narcissists come in all shapes, sizes, genders & backgrounds in the form of boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, bosses, official leaders etc. The one thing that is constant with all the different forms of narcissistic abuse is, there is no empathy… absolute zero. You will drive yourself wild if you think you can help this kind of person to become a better version of themselves as they are totally incapable of any kind of empathy.”
She is on a mission to raise awareness and to ensure that her message reaches as many as possible.
