What’s it all about? And why would anyone want to read it? Well, let me try to explain without losing your interest too quickly. Basically, it’s all about me. Shameless self-promotion: of my writing, of my novels: Where Are the Cocoa Puffs? and Reis's Pieces, of my amazing ability to come up with clever captions on photos of my travels . . . And also, a blatant representation of my stupidity when it comes to spelling, editing, and computer-type stuff.
My debut novel: Where are the Cocoa Puffs?: A Family's Journey Through Bipolar Disorder was released in September of 2010. My second novel: Reis's Pieces: Love, Loss, and Schizophrenia, was released May, 2012!

New publication date is now set for August 30th, 2010 for:
Where Are the Cocoa Puffs?
We’ve also decided on a subtitle: A Family’s Journey Through Bipolar Disorder. What do you think? We’re working hard on proof reading and final tweaks.
I like it- my "poison" is fruit loops, lol...very appropriate for me. I am also working on a book,haven't decided on a title yet. I am a mom of 5, still undiagnosed as far as being bipolar but pretty sure after years of depressive and mania that this is what it is...it would also make some sense having produced 3, yes, 3 bipolar daughters and one with recurring depression. So my life is a little more challenging than some. I cannot wait to read your book. I too believe sharing our stories helps others. I am not ashamed. There is no shame in mental illness.
Love it, the thought, the premise behind it, etc... although like Priscilla, I'm a sucker for Fruit Loops. (I take them by the baggieful to the movies, and anyplace I might need a quick yummy snack)
Keep us posted as to when your book comes out. If it's anything like I just read, I might need a few stitches by the time I've finished it, but it will be more than worth it!! :D :D :D
I am an optometrist in Central New York, living with my husband of 23 years. We have two girls who are, theoretically and chronologically, grownup. (Just kidding -- they are very mature! But, really, could you please just pick up your dirty socks!)
I have written four novels. Two, I wrote twelve years ago, and they have been simply gathering cyber-dust. Back then, I never really dove into the whole publication thing, because I did not have the fortitude or thickness of skin for the necessary rejection, and I felt ashamed by my audacity that I could call myself a writer.
Writing is wonderful and horrible and scary and self absorbing and the most fun anyone can have. So . . . twelve years later, my skin is thicker and shame is for sissies. I’ve picked up my computer and started again. My third book, Where are the Cocoa Puffs?, was just released by Goodman Beck Publishing and will be available on all online sites and soon to be nationally released. I've also blown off the dust of my first novel, done a major re-write -- and you know what? It's pretty darn good! Expect it to be in print some day.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Priscilla, for your interest in my book. Let's keep sharing stories. No shame!
