Dear Readers:

Desi Gordon, a father, son, grandfather, brother, uncle, and a husband. The author of “Insights Into The Male Mentality”, who further went on to write “Life Lessons”.  Proudly being his niece, I say, I can only aspire to have such an affectionate relationship he shares with his wife. Being the husband of seventeen years, to my aunt; I am certain they had their fair share of trials and tribulations. Nevertheless, they learned tactics; tactics they can now share with the world. Tactics that are proven to prolong and enhance relationships. To alleviate interpersonal relationship struggles and conflict.

My uncle understands the many problems that are accompanied by a relationship. He understands the need to shed light on those grey and bleak aspects that infringe on relationships. Having fore-hand experiences in those interpersonal relationship struggles of his marriage; he is most suitable to discuss the upcoming events of this book.  He is qualified, as a husband, an author, a fellow member of society. With thorough research and up-to-date information, this book offers nothing but the most compelling information about the various aspects of a relationship; the good, the bad, and the ugly. There are various examples depicted throughout the book showing the realism of each issue and ways you can further use to better them.

My uncle has not just been an advocate through his books.  He has impacted the lives of many people in real life. He has personally motivated me to be a better writer, a better debater, a better conversationalist. He has encouraged me to work harder in the world of writing, imagination, and expression.

I believe that this book has the potential to change lives, enrich relationships, and formulate an endless chain of love and affection if it is used in the lives of those who aspire to have an inseparable relationship. Available now at Amazon.com

This poem is dedicated to the personally unconventional aspects of one’s life, much like the issues depicted in this book.

Despicable Me

By: Indiana Peterkin

I am loyal,

Almost like the crown of a royal

I am grateful,

Because of God, I can be faithful

I am spontaneous,

Like the book on the back of the shelf,

I just can’t be opened

I am suspicious,

Suspicious of myself,

Suspicious of the elf on the shelf

I am smart,

My brain is truly a work of art.

I am codependent,

I need someone to be my defendant

I hide in the dark what I hate about myself

I am a coward,

If caught in a situation, I can’t say a word.

I am always in fight or flight

I am unconventional like a kite

I try to be good every day

God loves me, but I feel so far away.

I am a girl

I feel so small in this world

My heart feels so flattered when people tell me how good I am.

Even though I know it’s not true to who I am.

People see an angel, but I see the Devil

I  don’t know why I can’t be on my level

I am a girl, and my name is Indiana

Who I am, I don’t know, but who I’ll be is God’s way to go.

This book has a powerful message. A message that can only be understood if indulged in. A message to change lives, enrich relationships, and help to formulate an endless chain of love and affection. A message about the truth, that can only be portrayed by someone who has experienced it. The “Life Lessons” to be taught. Above all, a message from God. God bless you all. 

Author Desi Gordon was born on the beautiful Island of Jamaica. He was reared as a child first by his loving father Basil in the paradise town of Montego Bay, Jamaica. Later, at the age of 9 years old and throughout his formative years, he was raised by his Queen mother Victoria, close-knit family, and friends in the amazing Chocolate City of Washington, D.C., and in the charming City of Silver Springs, Maryland.

His summative years spent engaging the District of Columbia Elementary School System, the Maryland Junior High, and High School System, and graduating from the prestigious and multi-diverse Montgomery Blair High School gave him a keen insight into the social issues which has left an indelible mark upon him.

His love of diction was realized while attending the University of the District of Columbia and during which time he received informative socially conscious tutelage from Professors that ignited his passion to begin addressing social issues in speeches and which led to the development of his skills as a speech and blog post writer.

Over the years of becoming an avid reader, researcher through his work as a Paralegal, and having realized his gift as a writer, he embarked on the journey of sharing some of his meaningful relationship life experiences and those relayed to him by others, in order to address some of the major relationship issues from both the male and the female perspective, as well as give a balanced reasoning on each subject matter which promotes the development and sustaining of lasting relationships.

This author’s published best-selling relationship books: “Insights Into The Male Mentality” and “Life Lessons” are from the genre of non-friction, is presented with detailed relative true stories of shared life experiences, and whose reasoning is conveyed based on the strict values, virtues, and morality upon which he was raised. His works genuinely allows him to connect with his readers on a personal level by providing them with realistic & informative information which helps to better their relationships. Also, the authenticity of his highly anticipated soon to be released fictionally based Novels: “The Diary” and “The Ultimate Betrayal” will provide readers with transformative, moving, pleasurable, and enjoyable reading that enhances everyday lives.

Articulated analytically through true stories examples and philosophical reasonings, each subject is addressed with balanced fairness to the rights of women and men, as well as provide solutions which promotes healthy, cohesive, and lasting relationships. 

While researching and writing this book, I’ve obtained the input of so many people of diverse nationalities who share the same views and reasonings on the subject matters, which leads me to the conclusion that everyone’s goals, in the formulation of a relationship, is the pursuit of happiness. 

Personally, this book has tremendously enhanced my relationship and the relationships of my many friends and associates, whom I’ve utilized as test reviewers of my work. 

If you like Steve Harvey’s book: “Act like a lady, Think Like a man,” then you’ll love my book: “Insights Into The Male Mentality.” Just reading this book, will not only give you a greater insight and understanding of your partner, but it will also literally change the way you interact with your mate.
