Hi, fellow she-writers,

I am looking for any promotional help you all might want to give me.  My small press, Fat Daddy's Farm, and I released a new edition of my memoir, "Insanity: A Love Story."  I have a giveaway going on http://fatdaddysfarm.blogspot.com/2012/02/giveaway-of-insanity-love-story.html that I would love you to mention it or link to it on your blog.  If you do this for me, I will give you a coupon for a free-e-book of "Insanity: A Love Story." This is a $5.99 value for a small amount of your time (and blog post).

Thanks so much!

Melissa Miles

Here is a synopsis of the book if you are interested:

An intimate journey into the bipolar mind of one woman struggling to cope with the symptoms of madness and the elation of mania. It chronicles the resulting hospitalization that led to a diagnosis that challenged the distinction between sanity and insanity.

In 1998, Melissa Miles McCarter struggled with symptoms of depression after graduating from college and trying to recover from a series of failed relationships. After being prescribed an antidepressant, she was launched into her first mania-induced psychotic break. This mental state led her to a hospitalization, which revealed an underlying mood disorder she had unknowingly struggled with her whole life. 

This memoir chronicles the events that led up to her psychotic break and the experiences she had during her hospitalization. Struggling with the diagnosis with bipolar disorder, Melissa explores the fine line between insanity and sanity, and the courage it takes to build one's life after delving into the world of madness.

Melissa Miles McCarter is a writer, editor and doctoral student living in Southeast Missouri with her husband, step-son, two English bulldogs and three cats. She is currently editing an anthology, "Joy, Interrupted: An Anthology on Motherhood and Loss" for Fat Daddy's Farm. Melissa is also working on her dissertation on postfeminist composition studies. She continues to manage her bipolar condition with medication and the help with her family and friends.
