Masks: Poetry And Prose On Emotion

by Donna Siggers

"Masks" portrays Donna Siggers' deepest thoughts on emotion stemming from the process she uses to regain her memory. An assault back in twenty-fourteen resulted in memory loss, PTSD and nerve damage in her brain. Using meditation and free writing Donna turns what she visualises into three memories, poetry and gritty crime fiction. This book is an insight into her early life, the fears that encompassed her in her twenties and thirties and the trauma that changed her life forever in her forties. Its also the book that shows there can be a lighter side in times of strife, that darkness is followed by light. That love is more powerful than fear.

About the author

Thank you for your interest in my writing.

Within my novels I encompass my knowledge of criminology and psychology. My characters are often corrupt with the intention of dragging others along with them. The story lines convey real life situations with dramatic consequences and race against the clock demands on life. Pushing boundaries of what might make you uncomfortable to read, rest assured it made me uncomfortable to write; but I never go beyond reality. My writing is dark, brutal, and often crawl, but there is a softer side, too.

As an advocate for mental health and, having survived trauma, I’ve written intensively about my own recovery on subjects close to my heart. Trauma is, after all, the reason I began writing.

I showcase my journalism on my Soul2Ink blog attached to my website.
