My name is Tracy Harris and I have written a new book about my struggle with
mental illness entitled, "The Music of Madness - Surviving Schizoaffective
Disorder", (due to be released January 2002). I would like to explore any
marketing options for my book that you may have to offer i.e. linking to
your website, sending an e-mail to your members, inclusion in a newsletter,
reviews, interviews, speaking engagements, book signing dates, etc.
The following is a quick synopsis of The Music of Madness:
The Music of Madness is a book about a young, talented concert flutist and
her harrowing journey from sanity into madness and back again. This true
story is an odyssey that takes you through the dark cells of mental
institutions to the lighted stages of concert halls. Come travel with the
author as she journeys from her innocent childhood to the dark world of
hallucinations, her face off with death and her emergence into the light of
hope and final triumph as she reclaims her career and more importantly her
sanity and her right to live life as it was meant to be. The Music of
Madness is an inspirational book for all those who have felt the anguish and
hopelessness of mental illness either for themselves or for a loved one.
This painfully honest story is a source of renewed faith in life and
provides everyone who reads it with a stronger belief in the strength of the
human spirit. This book brings to everyone's library an exciting adventure
full of truth, and the qualities that all of us share in surviving this
chancy yet exciting existence we call life. The Music of Madness; have you
heard it?
Words of praise for The Music of Madness:
"This is a candid struggle of one woman's anguished mental affliction and
resolution experienced through the lens of her earlier gift of music.
Patients, families and professional alike can readily feel her inner
struggle with distorted perceptions of the world around her, and share in
the reconstruction of her identity as an individual."
Robert H. Gerner, M.D. - Associate Research Psychiatrist, UCLA
"The Music of Madness is a fascinating and unique insight into the mind. I
recommend it to anyone interested in the human condition. If you believe in
the strength and bravery of the human spirit, this is the book for you."
Richard Danson, M.D. - Associate Professor of Internal Medicine, USC
"A human triumph filled with the drama of real life. Exciting in its
expectation, devastating in its description. An insight to a world we rarely
get to see. An unforgettable glimpse into humanity at its best. A truly
inspirational story. Unforgettable, painfully honest, spellbinding."
