Broomfield, Colorado Aug 7, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Trapper Searles, entrepreneur-turned-author and inspirational speaker, has officially become a #1 bestselling author with the release of his deeply personal and transformative memoir, I Survived Suicide by Killing Myself: From Pain to Purpose — a story that’s already resonating with thousands for its honesty, emotional depth, and life-affirming wisdom.
Searles’ memoir traces a raw journey of emotional turmoil, devastating betrayal, and personal resurrection.

With its unconventional title and even more unconventional honesty, I Survived Suicide by Killing Myself climbed to the top of the charts on release — proof of a growing hunger for narratives that don't shy away from life’s harshest truths.
