Suicide Kills

by Klaude Walters

Overview

There is a way out of the darkness.
Acclaimed singer/songwriter Klaude Walters has lived an extraordinary life filled with great successes and even greater tragedies. She celebrates all she has learned and the path that has led her here through a visionary collaboration between the written word, poetry, art, and music. Each chapter in her life gives birth to its own song of loss, grief, and, ultimately, triumph.
The child of an abusive, alcoholic father, Klaude learned at an early age that pain and neglect were just part of life. She coped with it as best she could, wearing a fake smile and lying to the world about the horrors that went on in her home. As an adult she survived multiple rapes, workplace assaults, and her own suicide attempt. The shocking suicide of her brother threw her into a tailspin and she descended into darkness so deep she might never have found her way out of it.
But the story doesn't end there. Step-by-step she began to pull herself out of the darkness. She learned how to change her life by changing the way she thought and the way she interacted with herself and the world. She fought through two bouts with cancer, dealt with the breakups of three marriages, and finally found her way to peace, inner strength, and hope.
Despite the darkness that she went through her story is a joyous one of survival and triumph in the face of unimaginable loss and adversity. Here she shares what she's learned and the steps she took. With her words and her music she encourages all those struggling with depression, mental health issues, and loss to find their own path to healing

About the Author

Klaude Walters was born to write. She grew up in a fishing town on the Gaspé peninsula where she began writing at the age of six, transcribing the stories, poetry, and song lyrics that sprang from her fertile imagination. She is an accomplished songwriter and singer who has a rich and varied writing career. She has written songs for herself and for many artists all over Europe and North America. She is a consummate storyteller who weaves powerful emotions into everything she does.
Klaude has also made a name for herself on the more technical side writing software manuals, business policies for blue chip companies, and grant proposals. Whatever she does, though, she has always had a passion for helping others. That’s what led to her first published book, Credit 101, which she wrote to assist people in bettering their lives financially.
Klaude puts one hundred percent of herself into everything she does. Now she has turned her attention to writing the stories that are most near and dear to her heart. When she’s not busy writing books or music, she enjoys reading and skydiving. She lives in a small town in Ontario with her husband, Steve.

Editorial Reviews

I was totally infatuated with this book. It was awful and yet beautiful at the same time. It explores themes of abuse, love, friendship, mental health and chutzpah. She never restrains herself from pain, suffering or truth. My heart aches for the sick and defeated during Suicide Kill's reading of "The Sins of the Father" and especially the suicide of her brother...but for me, the most heart wrenching stuff is the suicide attempt of the writer. It rattled me vigorously.
