Interestingly, they classified it as a novel. It's a memoir, I promise! I can prove everything in the book. :)

I really appreciate this review from Heather Carter. I have to say, sometimes I'm more impressed by "reader" reviews than professional reviews. I recently had a professional reviewer return her review, and I could tell she didn't read the book. She assumed details wrongly and didn't capture the nuances, and even said I was a "psychiatrist" which I am not. I'm a doctor, but not a psychiatrist. She said I was "homeless" which I wasn't, and that's part of why the story is, well, eccentric. Perhaps she thought I was just an "indy" author and wasn't worth the read. Maybe. If that is the case, then decline to do a review. I've been through much worse, trust me. :) Anyhow, it warms my heart and inspires me to keep writing when I read reviews like this one from readers:

Hey Ya'll, what's shaking?

To promote the audio version of Manic Kingdom that is coming out later this summer and to help stimulate more thoughtful discussions around broadening our definition of mental and physical wellbeing, I decided to give away FREE ZENBands to any book club that chooses to read Manic Kingdom. My company creates and designs ZENBands. They are soft headbands with removable flat speakers that are super comfty while lying down, resting or....listening to audiobooks! ( See what I did there?) If interested, please comment on my Instagram video below ( which shows off some of our fun and quirky ZENBands) and also write me at erin@bloomingwellness.com. Can't wait to hear from some of you! - E
