As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.< Less

When characters who rarely have a role in novels decide that they are fed up with the status quo and begin to Occupy the works of authors, they have the simple goal of starting a conversation. The... More > protesting characters are united in their demand for a fairer system of fiction, but divisions arise over how best to achieve equality. The Occupiers soon find that the authors of the world aren’t taking their movement in stride, and have an enforcer who will stop at nothing to make sure literature itself isn’t overthrown.
The rebelling characters battle through novels and poems, gather allies from ancient archetypes and even stage an attack on a major motion picture. What started as a simple message from the less-successful characters to the authors who fail to cast them turns into an epic adventure about characters gaining independence and fashioning narratives of their own.< Less

OCCUPY ME is about freedom, it will not only help the reader break free from a bad habit, it will release you from verbal cage. Some believe they can’t avoid the destructive path, even when... More > they knew the result. They are trapped into a self-defeating mindset—“I know I’m doomed, but what can I do about it?” Of course you can break free but not until they able to see through the mind games they play. We play this game because once we break out of the verbal cage; we will have to admit that we had the power to do it all along. That scares; a person who frees himself from a habit that has occupied his life for years can be terrified of having to admit that he wasted a large part of his life. This book promotes HNH. It’s easier to move-on a Healthy New Habit than to get rid of the old one. Trying too hard to break free is a recipe for failure. As long as you’re focused on the Old Habit, you’re like a soldier fighting with one hand tied behind his back. It will take you back and forth to refocus you on the moment.< Less
