I had two book signing events in Fayetteville this weekend. Both were really well attended and the one at Fayetteville Regional Theatre was my mother’s book club meeting. Well, it’s typically their meeting time. Guess what book they chose for November? That’s right. They chose Diary of a Broken Mind. Can you believe it?
I would highly recommend this book for your book club. And if you want to meet in person or by skype, this is the form.
I grew up taking drama lessons at that theatre under my teacher, Bo Thorpe. Such happy memories of those days. So it was nice that they hosted this celebration.
I am an emotionally naked TEDx speaker, and author of the Book, Diary of a Broken Mind. I raised two boys, Richard and Charles, and lost my youngest son, Charles to substance use disorder and suicide June 5, 2015. I help people foster a culture of connection to prevent suicide, reduce substance misuse and find life after loss. My motivational, training and workshop topics include suicide prevention, addiction, mental illness, and grief.
As talented and funny as Charles was, letting other people know they matter was his greatest gift. And now the legacy I try and carry forward in my son's memory.

Sounds like you made it into the most important book club ever! Hugs from a Mom new to making it after a loss by suicide. Appreciate what you are doing to save other lives.
I did make it into the most important one. And thank you. I’m so sorry Cecelia. If you are up to it, you can tell me something about the child you lost.

This is so sweet. I’m delighted the book signings went so well!
Me, too. It’s a grind as a new author, that’s for sure. But Fayetteville made me feel great.
