Renee D. Warring

I began writing creatively at the age of sixteen in an English class. It was at that point that my English teacher noticed that my writing ability was unique and excellent. It was not until 2010 at the age of fifty-three that I felt compelled to write on the topic of Mental Health in order to be a help to others. On Tuesday, May 17, 2016, during National Mental Health Awareness Month, my first book entitled: "The Warrior Warring" was published. It is a memoir and is also topical in nature. In it I cover how prison, law enforcement, and political/healthcare systems affect people with mental illness. The goals of my book are suicide prevention,to give people who have mental illness hope of recovery and to help others be empathetic towards us.

My second book entitled: "Volcanic Eruption Of My Mind" has been copyrighted. It discribes in detail the first nervous breakdown I had at the age of twenty-one; my book and is due to be published soon. Currently, I am writing my third book which will be about how my mental illness episodes are both bitter and sweet experiences at the same time.
