About this title

About the Author

Born in Haiti and raised on Long Island, Xavier Pierre Jr. is a computer specialist who, after 22 years working in the computer industry, started writing short stories as a means of sharing his life experiences. His writing was so powerful that readers were always asking to know the rest of the story. This led to work on Lovers Anonymous and the upcoming sequel Twelve Steps to Love. In addition to being a writer, Xavier is a gifted poet and photographer with a loyal following within a close-knit community of bloggers who affectionately refer to him as Alizé (Ali's Zay) because of his devotion to his sweetheart Ali.

Review

In his autobiographical debut, Lovers Anonymous, Xavier showcases his exceptional storytelling ability, giving readers an intimate look into a life filled with adventure, sex, and heartache. His personal journey becomes our roller coaster as we are taken through the beautiful backdrop of Haiti, into some of the darker places of Xavier's world. As we watch his seemingly ideal life ruined by torrid affairs and reckless habits, we become privy to the deepest thoughts in this man's mind, and are dangerously close to the eye of his storm. Lovers Anonymous is a gripping read that won't let you put it down, and will leave you breathlessly wanting more. --Moria Fromager, BScN Candidate

Lovers Anonymous is a story of inexorable pain woven into a tapestry of emotional healing, self-discovery and inner strength. Pierre, Jr. skillfully tells this poignant rite of passage story with the perfect mix of sensitivity and realism. Throughout the book, the main character must learn difficult and heartbreaking lessons; but he soon discovers that with time, hope can be renewed and darkness can retreat, leaving sunshine as its ultimate triumph. This is definitely a must read! --M. Elayne Bowden, Poet and Author, soul wide shut: the introspective love collection
