My current psychological fiction novel, "The Looney Bin", explores the various ways we humans strive to maintain a positive image of ourselves while grappling with our imperfections. It delves into the extremes of denial some people hide behind, as well as the courage others show in confronting their flaws and growing from the experience.

As a psychiatrist with experience practicing in Connecticut, Florida, and Queensland, Australia, I've had extensive exposure to individuals facing emotional challenges. This experience inspired my non-fiction book, "Say Goodbye to Your PDI (Personality Disordered Individual): Recognize People Who Make You Miserable and Eliminate Them from Your Life for Good!" In this book, I aim to help readers identify when they are being manipulated and controlled by others, allowing them to shed misplaced guilt and pursue a happy, fulfilling life.

Throughout my career, I've held university positions, written a widely-read mental health column, produced a radio call-in show, and appeared on numerous TV and radio programs to discuss mental health issues.

Now thriving in sunny southwest Florida, I hope "The Looney Bin," a dialogue-rich, character-driven novel, not only offers a compelling story but also provides enjoyment and perhaps some introspection for my readers.
