Marrying Bipolar book blog

It takes a lot to be a best seller!

19/6/2016

My publishers have informed me that Marrying Bipolar has passed the 300 sales mark in just 6 weeks! So I want to thank my amazing readers from the bottom of my heart for your support and the huge response I have had via email, text and Facebook messages from those of you who have read it and told me how much you enjoyed reading it.

To give you some perspective on how fantastic 300 sales is for a first-time author, according to a Wall Street Journal article (in 2004), 85% of all books sell fewer than 200 copies, and only around 3% will sell more than 500 copies.

So 300 copies is no mean feat, and I am eternally grateful to everyone who has shown interest in, and supported, my little book.

If you would like to buy a copy of Marrying Bipolar, head over to the store! Each copy is personally signed (by me) and shipped the next day.

Welcome to my book website, Marrying Bipolar. As you made it to the blog, you may be interested in learning a little more about me. I was born and bred in Sydney since 1973 to a very tight knit and loving family. We all have our issues, though, and my life's ambition was to become the best person I could be through education, hard yakka (that's work for non-Australians reading this!) and trying to learn as much about myself and others as possible.

My philosophy on life and love is pretty simple: adhere to the principles of integrity throughout everything I do. This means being as authentic in public as I am in private.

I have been a blogger since early 2005, when blogging was still a very new concept. I explored blogging as a way of making sense of what was a pretty chaotic time in my life. Most of my blogs from that time and in the years ensuing have been deleted (as they were pretty raw). 2005 was the year I finally worked up the courage to end a marriage that had been sinking for some time, and taking my mental health with it.

Unfortunately the end of our marriage culminated in my husband committing suicide. You can read all about the events of our relationship, our marriage and the lead-up to his decision by reading my book, so I won't go into it more here. Suffice to say that I am still writing and journalling about my journey back to mental wellness.

I have become an advocate for mental health and suicide awareness in Australia, and my goal is to one day ensure that everyone treats mental illness as seriously as they would any other physical disease, by breaking down the stigma that surrounds those who suffer from it, as well as those who care for loved ones struggling with their illnesses and dark thoughts.
