#1 AMAZON NEW RELEASE - A raw, unflinching true-life memoir of surviving narcissistic abuse, a near-death experience, and the fight to reclaim a life from the edge of erasure.
On New Year's Day 2026, NOT DONE YET reached #1 in its Amazon category within 24 hours of release-an immediate signal that this story found the people it was written for.
In August 2020, James G. Ventura suffered a catastrophic subarachnoid brain hemorrhage and clinically died. For eight minutes, he was gone. He encountered Jesus, saw his late sister, Anita, and was sent back with a mandate: You're not done yet.
What follows is not a toxic relationship story. It is a field record of how malignant narcissistic abuse escalates-how it hooks through love-bombing, tightens through surveillance and control, and turns into retaliation: smear campaigns, false narratives, police threats, and public humiliation designed to break you so the abuser can wear the mask of the victim.
Drawing on the frameworks of Carl Jung, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, and Dr. Ramani Durvasula, NOT DONE YET names the pattern cleanly-without euphemism-while delivering the message that came back with him: truth, distance, and a refusal to negotiate with darkness.
5-Star Review: Enlightening, Joyful, and Profoundly Insightful! I often felt like he was writing to me personally-as if he was a brother who grew up in my family system. - Verified Reader
5-Star Review: I felt like I was being spoken to and was understood for the first time in my life. - Verified Reader
For anyone who has been gaslit, smeared, threatened, or made to doubt their own sanity: you are not crazy. You are in a system. And systems can be escaped-one clean decision at a time.
