Above is a quick iphone snapshot of the front and back cover of my new book Adult ADHD can be Sexy. The book is not yet available for purchase. At the moment I am considering when that date will be. The photo is only a proof copy, once I send it back approved, then I will have a firmer release date in mind. Soon, my dear friends, soon.
Waiting is a very difficult thing for me to do, because I am extremely excited about this book, perhaps more so than any other release of my books. Adult ADHD can be Sexy is like no other book you, or anyone else has ever read about ADHD – I can pretty much guarantee you of that! I have written about subjects and situations that are so sensitive (at least in my opinion) that I have added a warning / disclaimer to it. Therefore, be warned that if you decide to read it, there will be an agreement between you and me. I do not try to appease anyone in this book; I tell it like I see it and have lived it. This book is about real life experiences, emotions, feelings, relationships, love and oh yes, sexiness too.
On our ADDer World Social Network we have a current contest for 13 signed copies I am giving away of Adult ADHD can be Sexy. It is a referral contest. There is still time to be included, so please check it out if you are interested. Also, for the sheer fun and anticipation of it, I will randomly give 1 FREE copy to one of the commenter’s of this post! That’s even easier, all you have to do is comment on this post and perhaps you will win a copy – someone will, so why not you? In addition I am looking for 5 people who will review Adult ADHD can be Sexy. You can contact me directly about this possibility by private messaging me on our ADDer World Network. Only 5 people will be selected and I have been contacted already by interested people, it is necessary though that anyone contacting me is serious about reviewing it.
A very special thanks to readers who helped us pick out the photos that are presented in the book! Also a very special thanks to Catalina Magee. The photography is by Catalina Magee and when I presented her with her copy the other day I was very, very nervous, because if she didn’t like the book she may have decided not to be a part of it. She devoured nearly the entire book (approx 300 pages) in one night. I am so relieved to inform you that she absolutely loves the book! Whew! Hey, this book means a lot to me and having Catalina’s photos in it are a valuable contribution to it.
Dr. Nancy Irwin, thank you too for your valuable input, it is an honor to have your endorsement on the cover.
I also want to mention that this book has a very special forward written by my loving, ever helpful and beautiful wife, Joan Faith. I love Joan so much and without her input and assistance this book would never have been completed. Having a helpful, nurturing and caring spouse can be invaluable, let me tell you.
So, what’cha think?
Hope you are excited! Please help spread the word

Am I the only one up this morning? I don’t typically buy books until I thoroughly preview them- i.e. check them out at the library and then there is no need to buy them and I never comment on face book or web sites, but I am actually hoping for a chance to win a copy of this book! And I would be interested in reviewing it as I am an avid reader- but I can’t figure out how to private message Bryan!! lol

ADHD can be CRAZY SEXY, I agree. Keeping it sexy, now that’s the tough part. Like that bit of chocolate on the cover, it is too soon devoured and then its on to the next bit. It’s nice to see a book about ADHD that is not all about the bad parts of being sooooo special!

And that’s the wonderful part of having you all take part in helping create this book, Kitty
Joan and I will both sign this winner’s copy, also I will ask Catalina if she will sign it too. We want to offer something as special as it possibly can be.

Hey, If ADD or ADHD can be sexy I’d surely love to know. What I’m really interested in is if it’s as sexy for women viewing ADHD guys as it is for men consiering ADD/ADHD women. If the answer is affirmative than I have been hanging out at the wrong ranch.
I’d love to read that book and wake up my inner wild woman which has gone temporarily into hiding. Bring it on baby!

LOL Andrea.
Omg, I am so eagerly awaiting this book! Bryan I feel like your being a major tease to all of us by giving us step by step for the release date! I haven’t felt this kind of anticipation for anything in quite some time. Your killing me!!!
I keep wanting to stop at my local bookstore when I drive by in the hopes its there already, but I already know you’ll be sending everybody an email letting us know its out.

Okay, the commenters for this blog post will be put in a hat and a winner will be drawn for a copy of Adult ADHD can be Sexy 18 July 2010 (Sunday’s the last day!)
"One Boy’s Struggle is a real eye-opener. It should be read by all parents struggling to understand how best to support their ADHD children. Adults with ADHD will likely find validation and new hope from reading Bryan’s story.” ~Dr. Edward Hallowell
CHADD Educator of the Year for 2010, Dr. Katherine Nell Mcneil, "Highly recommends" One Boy’s Struggle

It is an honor to have written a book that is meaning so much and benefiting so many. It is my hope that one day ‘One Boy’s Struggle: A Memoir’ will be read by every teacher and parent, as well as read by every adult with ADHD.

Reply to Andrea NestorHi Andrea, I think my book is more likely to wake up your inner emotionally intellectual woman and let me tell you, there’s nothing sexier than that!
Reply to Bryan HutchinsonLOL Andrea.
