ALCHEMY QUIZ

COMMUNITY

An experiential novel journeying into one's own love story and the messiness of being human. 

Have you ever had a big fight with the one you love and realized you were in a fight with yourself?  Inside there's a part of you screaming in the dark, afraid to express the real unfiltered you that's hiding in the shame of a horribly lovely dumpster fire. 

As an an empathic neurodivergent love addict confused by the masculine box of society, this book is an alchemical adventure into love.  The main character, the poetic voices in my heart.  The heroine, the romantic relationships that viscerally brought it back to life.

You love love and want vulnerability with all the uncomfortable darkness.

You love all your feels but have never allowed yourself to just be messy with someone.

You love the beauty in life and wonder about the meaning of the cover color Amaranth.

Ben just had an affair. The person in the mirror is much different than the Ben others see him to be. Through relationship after relationship, he traverses into the hell of his unconscious to try to understand the shadow of love.  Does he finally find love?

Carl Jung was a guide in the process of my writing and alchemy was a form to see the beauty in the chaos. Hidden in the form and chapters of this book are seven alchemical stages ripping all the layers of lead away to reveal gold. 

To be real with you, I'm not sure who wrote this book. Sometimes the voices were so loud, it felt like a screaming match between spirit and my soul. In each chapter is a deeper part of me expressing the horrible and lovely messiness of being a human being. 

Things in this book will trigger you. It is a raw, honest, graphic, vulnerable, traumatic and visceral story of soul embodiment.  There are no cover-ups or adaptations so as to preserve the energic signature of the work. Our online community offers extra content and real people to support your reading experience.

A truly unique, tragic and beautiful story of love and loss. The stories and writing style gripped me from the very beginning. A must read for anyone who has felt the highs and lows of love.

It is a pleasure to recommend this book to everyone who has struggled or is struggling with obsessive compulsions related to escaping the gift of this “Horribly Lovely” life.

How you wove the stories together and lay them side by side then stagger stitch them is very very cool. I see myself in Ben. I see myself in everyone. I love Ben. I hate Ben. It's all the feels.

Jon writes using the Enneagram to express the depth and lived experience of the art of transformation. He aspires to weave together spiritual and psychological narratives that are human, honest and uncomfortable.

Jon is also a design coach, consultant and teacher, helping organizational teams at the brink work in a whole new way. Using the Enneagram, teams unlearn old ways of working by relearning new ways of being.

Within his life, a paradox has existed, two sides always competing and unable to integrate as one. He continues to live into it, facing his own dualistic nature by being unapologetically authentic in how we love one another and ourselves as human beings.

Horribly Lovely is published through Melisa Keenan, founder and CEO of Heart Open Publishing Enterprise (HOPE). Rooted in integrity, transparency and community, HOPE exists to help authors create and share their sacred stories with the highest level of care. The HOPE team values the unique healing each author encodes in the deeper words that they alone can convey.

What is the book rated? 

I'd say if it were a movie, it'd likely be R. There are adult themes, sexual content, hard language and drug usage. I'd suggest readers be 17 years of age or older.

What about trauma content?

The content explores various traumatic events and the visual nature of the writing may bring up feelings for those suffering with PTSD or C-PTSD.
