PAPERBACK

Eluding Sylvia, Chasing Poe

A choose-your-own-adventure prose, poetry and imagery journey from inside the mind of a bipolar-disordered human. One critic said it was like Alice in Wonderland on Lithium; psychedelic yet ordinary.

The book’s written content is a collection of lyrical poems, microstories and prose with the addition of illustrations, photographs and insights in a ‘choose your own adventure’ concept. Each adventure contains a different facet of the symptoms of the Bipolar illness using role play with different mood characters. With the use of this method, it has given the power back to the reader to choose their mood. This displays the relentless lack of choice within the sufferer of the illness.

The author/artist was once a ‘New Poet’ (Friendly Street Poets, 2010) and contributor to ‘Mad, Sad Words’ (Joseph Dunn, 2006).

As well as being the author and illustrator of Eluding Sylvia, Chasing Poe, a choose-your-own-adventure illustrated poetry, prose and microstory book about her life with Bipolar Disorder, Sher’ee’s poetry and microstories have been published in the International Beat Poetry Foundation Goddess Anthology 2022: Poets Celebrating Women, New Generation Beats 2022 Anthology, Florence Poets Society Silkworm 14 Rise, Mad Sad Words, Friendly Street New Poets 15 and Divinely Align Me: How Signs from the Universe keep you on your path.

The Little Things: A Breast Cancer Memoir

 

It’s ‘the little things’ that matter.

No one knows that more than Lindsey Kennedy. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, she couldn’t find the book she needed to read, so she wrote one.

This is Lindsey’s ultimately uplifting story filled with humour when faced with unthinkable health crises. When many would have found only storm clouds, she found silver linings. Along the way, she was supported by the love of family, friends and strangers.

Lindsey’s determination to help others led to her being one of the faces of a national breast cancer awareness campaign, and The Little Things offers insight for anyone facing the dreaded diagnosis. It’s practical, comforting and empowering.

About the Author

Lindsey Kennedy lives in Victoria, Australia with her husband and two children. She is a public speaker, a BreastScreen Victoria ambassador, civil celebrant, teacher and a breast cancer survivor.

Surprise Packet

For the second time Gillian Porter is facing a tragic event in her life, and this time she’s on her own.

When her world was first turned upside down at the age of twenty, Liam Dempsey was by her side, but he doesn’t occupy that place anymore. After twenty-two years together they have been forced apart by a heartbreaking situation and a powerful enemy.

Essentially alone, Gillian moves to country Victoria and begins teaching again after a long absence from the classroom. With only her cavalier puppy Sybil for company, she vows to make the best of things as she begins her new life. However, it seems both life and Liam have other plans for her, when she meets an endearing little girl and her family who offer her everything she’s ever wanted.

Would it be a betrayal of Liam to accept?

And why is he encouraging her to do just that?

Can life knock you down and pick you up at the same time?

Elizabeth Markham self-published author of 'Surprise Packet'
