I am writing a book about my daughter, Justine’s life. Justine lived a lot of life in her 29 years. She was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder as a teenager and this made her life both exciting and challenging. Justine was killed in a car accident on March 25th 2014.
This memoir is about her life from my perspective as her mother. She was a high achieving child with wisdom beyond her years until she reached puberty. Then things took a drastic turn. Bipolar disorder sent her on a roller coaster ride for many years as she learned to live with depression, mania, anxiety and fulfillment. This is her story and it’s called “Not My Story To Tell”.
Oh dear! I’m very sorry to hear this. I look forward to your book.

I highly suggest creating a mailing list specifically to notify people about the progress of your book. I’m afraid that if I don’t have a way to receive email communications, I may forget you were ever writing a book.

Thanks for your suggestion. I don’t really know how to make a mailing list and I don’t want to “spam” people. I have signed up on other people’s blogs to receive email notifications and will likely set that up once I get a few more followers.

Wow! I’m incredibly honoured! Thank you VERY much! I JUST added a “prompt” to one of my posts (as per our latest 101 assignment) and it was “Have you ever received an award?” That’s weird!!!

I also look forward to your book. They are easier to publish as e-books and easier to get read on Kindle types! Praying it comes together for you.
I was going to nominate you for the Liebster Award too. That helps get you more exposure and I’m sure followers!
