CONROE, TX — Defiance Press & Publishing announces the signing of author Brian Bedwell for his compelling memoir, “Between Worlds: A Life of Abduction, Addiction, and Awakening.” This remarkable narrative chronicles Bedwell’s journey through paranormal encounters, personal struggles, and ultimate spiritual transformation.
“Between Worlds” presents a raw, unflinching account of a life shaped by extraordinary encounters with beings beyond conventional understanding. From his earliest childhood memories of entities he calls “The Others” who took him aboard their ships, to confrontations with shadow people and cryptids that defied explanation, Bedwell weaves a tapestry of paranormal experiences against the backdrop of a troubled upbringing.
The memoir follows Bedwell from an Iowa childhood marked by abuse and alleged alien abductions through the harsh realities of 1980s West Texas, where his family struggled to survive in a transient oil field community. As his life spiraled into alcoholism and self-destruction, the paranormal encounters continued—bringing both terror and moments of transcendent connection.
With candid honesty, Bedwell chronicles his eventual path to sobriety and spiritual awakening, suggesting that his extraordinary experiences served a greater purpose in his journey toward healing. The memoir culminates in a synthesis of recovery wisdom and cosmic perspective as he confronts mortality, finding peace amid the incomprehensible. The narrative is supplemented by polygraph results included in the afterward, adding another dimension to this already compelling account.
“Brian Bedwell has written one of the most unique and thought-provoking memoirs I’ve encountered in my publishing career,” said Lisa Woodward, Director of Publishing at Defiance Press. “His willingness to share both his supernatural experiences and his deeply personal struggles creates a narrative that challenges readers to expand their understanding of reality while offering genuine hope for redemption. ‘Between Worlds’ embodies our mission to publish works that explore profound questions about our place in the universe and the spiritual dimensions of human experience. This is precisely the kind of bold, boundary-pushing book that mainstream publishers might overlook, but that deserves to be heard.”
“Between Worlds: A Life of Abduction, Addiction, and Awakening” will appeal to readers interested in paranormal phenomena, addiction recovery narratives, and spiritual awakening journeys. It shares elements with works such as “Communion,” “Waking Up in the Spirit World,” and “The Sober Truth.”
The memoir is scheduled for release in winter 2025. For more information about the book or to request review copies when available, please contact Lisa Woodward.
