Letters From A Bipolar Mother

Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Letters-Bipolar-Chronicles-Fractured-ebook/dp/B0075Z2S2G

In "Letters From A Bipolar Mother", Alyssa Reyans tells the story she's never been able to tell her children: of how she lost them in a battle with her own mental illness. she shares with them - and the world - what the mind of a woman suffering bipolar depression looks like, how the darkness she battled on a daily basis almost won, and how, years later, she found the courage to claw her way out of the abyss.

Covering a span of five years, Alyssa Reyans shares both her pain and strength in a struggle against an incurable illness that many women today also share.

Hello, here are the links to my memoir in paperback and kindle on Amazon. "My Schizophrenic Life: The Road to Recovery from Mental Illness" is about the struggle of having a serious mental illness and how I found my way. Take a look if you like! Thanks!

Hi Alyssa and Sandra,
Both of your books sound just up my alley! My list of books to read is getting longer and longer. Oh, I can't wait to get a Kindle. I love meeting so many strong and admirable women. Look forward to getting to know you some more.

Thanks Leila!

Alyssa, your book sounds up my alley too!

I will read it as soon as I get a chance!

Here's mine...

I did mine as short stories, and sometimes had to leave out some stuff when I did it because of people who are living. I wish now I would have done my memoirs as a whole story from beginning to an end, (not short stories). I may go back and do it that way later. --When I first did mine I was only writing it for my children and grandkids, then my sister talked me into putting it out there, so I did. But, like I said I may one day add all the little details I couldn't add in for publication. Mine is listed with Goodreads, Lulu, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and some other book places to order online.---I also helped my sister publish her poetry book where she did the poems and I took the photos in the book. It's called The Weeping Rose. Just to let you know most of her poems are about her life.

[Leila]

Yay, lots of new great books to read.

Barb, that is one of the problems with writing memoir, what you say about the people who are still alive or still in our lives. I had to change all names, but it's still tricky. I noticed that your book is not related to your Goodreads profile or rather, you do not have an author profile. Are you still doing that?

Ah, well, if you look at other author profiles, you'll notice that our books are listed on the right a little down the page. You have a reader profile at the moment, but can change it over and link it to your book. Visit here http://www.goodreads.com/author/program for more information (o:

Here is a link to my website with details on all five of my books, memoirs all, although one, LOVE, WAR & POLIO, is a hybrid of bio and memoir: http://RatholeBooks.com . All five books are available on Amazon and my latest, BOOKLOVER, is also out on Kindle at a much lower price. I hope you will check them out. I am currently working on another memoir, which I am calling my "dog book."

[Leila]

Congrats Barb, I see you now have an author profile!

[Barbara]

Leila wrote: "Congrats Barb, I see you now have an author profile!"

Thanks, I added the books. Like I said mine are memoirs but shorts individual stories. When I first did it it was intended for my kids and grandkids, then I put it out there. I may do another one and add all the stuff I didn't before and make it a flowing story. ---My sister's poetry book is about her life, and I did the photos to add in the book.

I've done one Goodreads Giveaway and I thought it went really well. I didn't realize I could do additional giveaways for the same book, though. I'm going to think about doing that again.

[Leila]

Marla, I don't know if it's standard, but I've done it about four times so far!

I have recently published two small volumes in a memoir - there will be three altogether. They consist of poems, short stories and - in the larger collection coming in another 2-4 weeks - journal entries (among other work) along with memories and descriptions of events in the life of the deceased author. (I am the editor, publisher and former companion of the author.)
The poetry can be found at Amazon: http://amzn.to/L3dcKe
The stories, also at Amazon: http://amzn.to/Kk25wx
My blog, giving more recollections and comments from those who knew or knew of the author: http://wp.me/2f0TW
(I have also listed the two books here at goodreads on my author page.) Your support, comments, suggestions... would be very much appreciated.
Note: the stories will be available FREE at Amazon throughout the coming weekend.

Diary of a Company Man: Losing a Job, Finding a Life

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to add my memoir, Diary of a Company Man: Losing a Job, Finding a Life, to the bookshelf. . . . Tomorrow I am taking a call from a member of a cancer patients' writing group asking my advice on how to write and publish a memoir. I am of course eager to help her, but not really sure what one author can suggest to another in this regard. I expect to learn as more than I can teach. I'll get back to you all and report on this conversation.

[James]

Diary of a Company Man: Losing a Job, Finding a Life
Thank you for inviting us to add our books to the shelf, Leila. I'm not very adept at using Goodreads, I'm afraid, as I posted something for the Memoir Group on May 17, but I don't see it anywhere. I hope I have better luck this time. I have had three memoirs published, so I hope I can contribute something to the discussion. I also have a Q & A going on Goodreads, devoted to issues involved in diary-form books, and I cordially invite anyone who's interested to take a look.

[Leila]

Welcome Debbianne. I've tagged your book on Amazon, as well as Raymond and James. So pleased to 'meet' all of you and look forward to sharing more.

[Chris]

Hi Leila

I don't think I added mine. It's been Amazon number 1 in class here in UK but seems to struggle in the US Amazon, for some reason. All tags gratefully received! Thanks.

Thank you for tagging my book on Amazon. It sounds like a nice thing to do. Can you believe I don't know what it means? Is there any hope for me?

[Jeffrey]

Hello friends, I just joined, so I will be working my way through these posts to tag your books. This is my Amazon Authors page:

Please tag any or all of my 6 books.
Let me know that you have done so, and I will make sure to reciprocate.

Could you briefly explain to me what it means to "tag" a book on Amazon, and how you do it? I'd be happy to tag yours, as a thank you.

On the "buy page" of any book on amazon.com below the Product Description, Reviews, and What Other Items Customers Buy, are tags. Anyone can check (agree with) the existing tags or add tags. Tags are labels which describe the book in some way.

Click on a tag and it will show books with a similar tag. Readers might check out books based on tags in which they are interested.

[James]

Thanks. To try this out, I clicked on the Sixties tag re Monsters of the Midway. Nothing seemed to happen regarding being shown other books, but I'll try again tonight after work when I have time to focus better on this.

My memoir is now causing a lot of havoc, although I changed the name of the characters, the guilty are having a fit. I promised myself that one day I would do it and I did. I just wanted to remind the guilty of the torture they put me through. I also want others, who have experience the same or similar, to know that they are not alone, to have faith and know that we can survive.

[Leila]

Chris, I liked and tagged your book on Amazon.com.

Also have done you Jeffrey, Linda, Deborah and James.

Ruth, I added some tags to your book as you didn’t have any.

James, tags are basically a chance for people who don’t know about your book to perhaps come across it in a tag search. Let’s say I click on the tag ‘memoir’. I am then given the option to narrow by popular tag. I can then choose ‘memoirs’, then ‘inspirational’ etc. The premise is that the number next to the relevant tags you have, determines where you show up on the page in these searches.

[Linda]

Thank you, Leila!

[Chris]

Thank you, Leila!

Travel To The G-Spot is a semi-autobiographical fictional memoir of a dying writer who looks back at his life through some of his stories. It's been called "very, very funny," and one reviewer said, "if you like Hunter Thompson or H. L. Mencken, you are going to love this book." Several other five-star reviews are on http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JPR40S. Not sure if this list is the right place for this book, but I think it fits.

Hi, everyone.

My memoir about my experience as an asthmatic, overweight, novice cyclist on the largest cross-country bike event in U.S. history is called, Your Mileage May Vary. It is currently available only as an eBook. I'm sharing the author royalties with the American Lung Association, the group that sponsored the cross-country ride.
