1. What motivated you
to write your book, to force you from taking an idea or experience and turning
it into a book?
I wanted to clarify my own
thinking about my condition, then assist others who struggle with depression to
overcome it and live happy, productive lives.
2. What is it about and
who is it for?
It's about coming to terms with depression, whether chronic or occasional, and rising above it. It's for depressed people as well as for their loved ones, to help them provide support and enable them to understand the struggle.
3. What do you
hope the reader will be left with after reading it?
Hope and optimism. I
want readers to see themselves in my struggles and find their own paths to
peace.
4. What advice or words
of wisdom do you have for fellow writers?
Follow your passion.
Overcome negative self-talk; sit down and start writing; don't stop until you
finish. You owe this to your readers as well as yourself.
5. What trends in the
book world do you see -- and where do you think the book publishing industry is
heading?
I have no idea.
6. What challenges did you overcome to write this book?
I hesitated to bear my soul and relate personal struggles, such as contemplating suicide, to strangers. I questioned if I knew enough to help others.
7. If people can buy or
read one book this week or month, why should it be yours?
It might improve, even save their lives.
