We interrupt this program on bubbles to announce that my novel MADMAN: Strange Adventures of a Psychology Intern was just published. The book cover was a family project. I took the photos (which I posted here in flickr many months ago), my daughter Kira (a UCLA design student) worked on typography, and my wife Debra and daughter Asia consulted on the overall design as well as created the back cover text.
I wrote the novel for students studying topics like psychotherapy, counseling, and abnormal psychology. My students, who have been reading unpublished versions of the manuscript, say they love it. Also interesting is the fact that when I recently showed one of my classes a rapid slide show of 200 images (as part of an exercise about how we react to photos), the image that captured their attention most was this shot of a foggy road – even though my students have never seen this book cover. Coincidence? Synchronicity?
... Breaking News!... MADMAN won the 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Award for First Novel.
Bulimia Nervosa: Frequent occurrence of binge-eating episodes accompanied by a sense of loss of control of overeating and recurrent inappropriate behavior such as purging or excessive exercise to prevent weight gain.
Individuals with paranoid personality disorder have a pervasive suspiciousness and distrust of others, leading to numerous interpersonal difficulties. They tend to see themselves as blameless, instead blaming others for their own mistakes and failures - even to the point of ascribing evil motives to others. Such people are chronically tense and "on guard," constantly expecting trickery and looking for clues to validate their expectations while disregarding all evidence to the contrary. They are often preoccupied with doubts about the loyalty of friends and hence are reluctant to confide i others. They commonly bear grudges, refuse to forgive perceived insults and slights, and are quick to react with anger and sometimes violent behavior. - Abnormal Psychology - fifteenth edition - James N. Butcher.
This photo didn't exactly turn out as planned, but, alas, I have to actually study and learn about personality disorders, so I should probably get back to reading the text.

I've got a bit of a cold, what a great way to start the new month. Hung out in bed with my books so I could study for an upcoming midterm, but instead I had a nap and took this photo of my books and kleenex. Orion wanted in on it too, if course.
