The Problem with Maraschino Cherries: NAMI Bound!

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!

NAMI Bound!

I’m on my way to The Desmond Hotel http://www.desmondhotelsalbany.com/this weekend for the NAMI NYS Education Conference. The Desmond is a beautiful hotel with neat little courtyards that give the feeling of walking down a quaint village street. The food is wonderful, the rooms are amazing and the conference, if it’s anything like last year, should be great! NAMI always manages to bring together such compassionate and caring individuals. I’m looking so forward to meeting and reconnecting with the members of this organization. Wish me luck on my book presentation and my bid for a seat on the NAMI NYS Board!
