This is my first foray into the world of creative writing and my dream is to finish this work and have it published. I have a Political Science degree from Carleton University, in Ottawa, but have always aspired to a career as a writer of fiction. While this novel is fictional, it is my real struggle with mental health that has provided me insight and created the backdrop for a story, that perhaps needs to be told in 2022.

This opening certainly leaves you wanting to know more. Seeing the two worlds, inside and outside the MC’s head. Great tension. Great sense of place. An appropriately disorienting start!
