What happens when Beth finds another part of herself not known before, a part that takes her to so many different places in her life? And a puppet, what has a puppet have to do with what Beth is going through? The strange yet, explosive story of Suspended. About The Author: Born in September, 1962, Kathleen G. Collins struggled her entire adult life with Bipolar Disorder. After being properly diagnosed in 1994, she began the difficult journey to recovery. The long and uphill battle began shortly after the marriage to her true soul mate and the birth of her beloved son. She spent the next 15 years in a haze of constant mood swings, hundreds of medication combinations, suicidal tendencies and even hospitalizations. With the loving support of her family and friends, she finally stumbled upon several medications and a series of therapy sessions that proved to be effective. She is now happily living with her husband and son in the quiet San Joaquin Valley of California. In the past, Kathleen had never professionally written anything, let alone a novella. However during her ordeal, she came to realize that she might actually be right brained and she found a great deal of comfort in writing. She had many poems published and wrote of her experience with Bipolar Disorder in her short memoir published at www.Storyhouse.org/Kathleen.html as well as in the Mar/Apr 2005 edition of Today's Health and Wellness magazine. Then the time came for her to let out her anger and frustration with the many side effects that often come with taking so many different mind altering medications. The result of her efforts was the completion of the novella Suspended. It is the perfect medication Science Fiction story based on fact and personal experience. www.sonar4publications.com
