While speaking with Diane, she had this to say about her book:
“I did not write Blood Fiction because I am bipolar. Our protagonist, Frannie Marie, wrote this story through me because I, along with about 2.6 million other American adults, live with her affliction. I was drawn to her story because I wanted to share this personality in all her glory and tragedy; she’s bright, thoughtful and represents millions who are no less than she. More important is our need to be able to talk about ourselves with openness and honesty. This is the only way any of us can rise above our limitations. wfv To know thy self is not enough. No matter what our afflictions, we must share ourselves with each other in order to grow.”
When asked to describe her book she says:
“In the book, Frannie Marie Martin Hanks, leaves her husband for dead and runs away from home looking to find family she has never known. In the process she discovers who she is. Bipolar personalities come in a kaleidoscope of colors as varied as the un-afflicted populace they inhabit. Blood Fiction is one woman’s remarkable journey into family and self.”
