Xulon Author Uses Visual Art to Express Chronic Pain of Fibromyalgia

Within the pages of Darlene Hinkle and coauthor Clyde T. Pfeiffer's new book, Through the Eyes of Pain the Beast Is Revealed, ($15.49, paperback, 9781545600092; $26.49, hardcover, 9781545600108; $7.99, e-book, 9781545600115) readers will find artwork and essays documenting Hinkle's experience living with chronic pain stemming from fibromyalgia. When words alone could not express her frustration and discomfort, she conveyed her feelings through visual artwork and inspiring prose.

"This personal picture diary of my painful journey was created when I was beyond having words to express myself any other way," states the author. "With the assistance of coauthor Clyde T. Pfeiffer, I share my deeply personal battles through physical, emotional and spiritual pain using three poignant outlets: drawing, narrative, and reliance on the word of God. You are not alone."

Darlene Hinkle is currently a Stephen Minister in the United Methodist church, a volunteer chaplain, and artist.
