MANTEO, N.C. – An ascetic romantic, John Patrick Acevedo began his quest for God and love while he was a freshman at Clemson University. As he showed up rather nervously to his very first college course, he was quite stunned to see a beautiful professor, Amanda Dyer, who would prove to be instrumental to his writing. During his sophomore year at Boston University, he started to “write poetry that was exactly the same as the Holy Bible.” It was only after graduating after Boston, however, that he committed to writing poetry. In his latest installment of poetry in “Healing w/o Patient Suffering (for Virginal Sole Distinction): More Ethos by John Patrick” (published by Xlibris), Acevedo discusses the spirit or karma from an animal magnetic dimension of human nature and how it is actually the passion of the sociological aspects of autonomy and choice. “These are original poetry with innovative ideas that have a lyrical style of my own. My poetry book is romantic, aesthetically spiritual and quite emotionally moving. Its overall theme is that weakness is fundamentally seen as pathos or logos when in actuality, it is an ethos,” Acevedo says. When asked what he wants readers to take away from his writing of the book, Acevedo says, “that life is brief and that it is all about what you put into it.” Of the 86 poems in the book, most have appeared in the previous Synergy Press (synergy-press.org) books he published between 2012 and 2018. “Healing w/o Patient Suffering (for Virginal Sole Distinction): More Ethos by John Patrick” By John Patrick Acevedo Hardcover 6 x 9in 184 pages ISBN 9781796023497 Softcover 6 x 9in 184 pages ISBN 9781796023480 E-Book 184 pages ISBN 9781796023473 Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble

John Patrick Acevedo introduced Maryland to his theme of "give and take" (Book of Job, Old Testament) while a regular at poetry open mics, among them 'The Mariposa Center for Creative Expression' (February, 2003), where he was first featured with his book entitled 'Everlasting Chemistry.' He remembers the event rather fondly, explaining his need to engage the audience by listening to an audio cassette in his car while driving so as to know his poem selections like the back of his hand, laughing as he recounts quickly praying to God for balance even as he stood up at the very end of his delivery as the podium his work rested upon was on a wooden floor sprucing a microphone cord and a crowded stool. "My poetry had initially bookended many Facebook texts to a friend from 2010 to 2012. 'Bad Technology and Poor Weather: The Outsider Stories of the Poetry of John Patrick Acevedo' seemed to simply complement the physical stress of my getting numbers for Best Buy, especially on the last days of every month. These were the happiest days of my life. I really got a rush from beating my own 'Number One's' that won me two 'Brad Anderson Legacy Stock Awards' from the retail giant." -John Patrick Acevedo, Poet., November 02, 2018, 10:10 p.m., Columbia, Maryland

Millie Acevedo bore her first child before the age of 16 and dropped out of high school to care for her newborn. Now 27, she is the unmarried mother of three and is raising her kids in one of Philadelphia's poorest neighborhoods.

Why do so many poor American youth like Millie continue to have children before they can afford to take care of them?Over a span of five years, sociologists Kathryn Edin and Maria Kefalas talked in-depth with 162 low-income single moms like Millie to learn how they think about marriage and family. Promises I Can Keep offers an intimate look at what marriage and motherhood mean to these women and provides the most extensive on-the-ground study to date of why they put children before marriage despite the daunting challenges they know lie ahead.

“[Acevedo] is a very disturbed man—and I mean that in the absolute finest sense of the term.”—Tim Dorsey, author of Nuclear Jellyfish Felix Gomez, Latino vampire detective extraordinaire, tackles a sexy werewolf cabal in Werewolf Smackdown, the fifth installment in Mario Acevedo’s satirical supernatural series. The author’s wonderfully twisted blend of comedy, horror, and detective noir—expertly flourished in such books as The Nymphos of Rocky Flat and Jailbait Zombie—places him in the august company of Eric “Anonymous Rex” Garcia and Christopher “Bloodsucking Fiends” Moore, while earning him raves from coast to coast. The Baltimore Sun calls Acevedo’s novels, “decidedly good, unclean, unwholesome fun,” while author and fan J.A. Konrath calls them, “a smooth combination of Anne Rice and Michael Connelly, with a generous portion of Dave Barry.”
