Sylvia asked Barbara Claypole White:

Dear Barbara I just finished reading the Perfect Son....absolutely loved it! I am now going to get your other books. I have a grandson who suffers from mental disease ...plus my mom was kinda like Felix... so the book hit close to home. My only question is are you in the process of writing another book? Sylvia Avila Murrieta, CA

Barbara Claypole White First of all, thank you for reading my book baby. Yes, it's an interesting world for those of us in the trenches with mental illness. The fun never ends, does it? I'm working on novel four, tentatively called MISSING IN MADNESS (in fact I just put in my daily word count!). This one isn't coming as fast as I'd like, but my heroine has bipolar 1, and even though I have a family member with manic depression, it's been a struggle to find the character's voice. She has a pretty severe case… In an ideal world, it would be out next July, but I'm a slow writer and I do a ton of research. Am working hard though--honest! Happy reading and stay in touch. If you're on Facebook, look me up. That's where I hang out. And good luck to your grandson.
