Hi all. After reading about all the tragic high-profile suicides in the news this past week, I feel the need to join the chorus of people who want to spread the message that "Depression Lies." (Thanks to Jenny Lawson, The Bloggess, for that specific message from her book Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things, or my YA variation on the theme, "Depression bites, literally." My contribution is this: I wrote a novella, The Queen of Sheba, which is meant to shine a light on depression, especially for young adults, who may not have the ability or experience to recognize it in themselves or their friends and family. I have not succeeded in spreading this message very far. But in the hopes of changing that, I have reduced the price of the ebook to 99 cents, which is the lowest price Amazon Kindle will allow. I hope this will encourage people to take a chance on it who might relate to the story and feel strengthened by it.
Love,
Jessica
