Texas author takes readers on a mind-expanding journey with new book ‘Catharsis’

THE WOODLANDS, TX – One Texas-based author has taken her life story, personal history, and spiritual journeys and merged them into an innovative storytelling style in her latest book. ‘Catharsis’ by Dr. Rachelle Stevens is a printed mind-expanding journey where everyday and societal themes are examined and presented through short stories, prose, and poetry, resulting in an ignition of personal growth for the reader.

Dr. Stevens was born in San Antonio. She embarked upon her higher education from the University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, Texas at the age of sixteen. She graduated in 1984 with a Bachelors of Business Administration in Computer Information Systems and Management as a double major. Her professional career began at Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA), United States Forces Command (US FORSCOM) as a management analyst assigned to HQ, Fifth US Army, San Antonio.

She is an author, researcher and educator with more than 20 years of experience in the field of humanities. In addition to her multiple earned degrees, she was conferred a doctorate of humanities from H.E. Wood Bible Institute and Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia. She has been recognized for her contributions to the field of humanities reflecting her accomplishments and expertise. Additionally, she has contributed to numerous published articles in Africa. Rachelle has been married to her husband, Todd, for over forty years, and they have two sons: Julian, and Christian.

“You will read eclectic anthologies, prose, and poetry that creatively discuss relationships and familial ties while boldly resonating with the continuous message that it is not only important to know how to use what you have, but to intuitively use what you know,” said Stevens. “Keeping in mind that sometimes revisiting perspectives with respect to slight modifications can lead to the positive change we need. The results, however, have the potential to be the transformative catalyst you require, a pivotal moment for turning the tides in your favor.”

‘Catharsis’ encourages people to manage cultural differences and merge together through the simple process of cathartic thought when jotted down or put on paper during productive doodling or – as described in this book – the transcription of ‘literary art.’ Additionally, the book advocates that a therapeutic purge is just as necessary as a healthy detox to rid oneself of mental and emotional toxins that can play havoc on your overall daily quality of life.

Published by Fulton Books, Dr. Stevens’ book is a thought-provoking literary compilation that parallels life encounters with the ultimate purpose to convey a basic message of inclusivity and inspiration to the reader. Through her writings, Dr. Stevens aims to help provide comfort and insight to readers of walks of life, helping them to realize they are not alone in whatever challenges they might be facing as they go through their journeys.

‘Catharsis’ is available online at Amazon, iTunes store, and Google Play, and can be found in stores or online at Barnes and Noble.
