"An unflinching, beautifully-written memoir" Erin Kelly

"A raw, searingly honest, often funny account about living with mental illness. A very powerful and important book" Madeleine Black

Best-selling novelist David Mark's first work of non-fiction is an excruciatingly honest account of living with acute mental illness.

This lyrical, raw and painfully funny memoir explores how it feels to house a monster inside your head: a slavering, seductive beast that whispers 'kill yourself' just when you start to think you're happy. It's the story of finding love and raising a family in the face of mania, depression, OCD, addiction, hallucinations, suicidal ideation, chronic anxiety and a genuine genius for self-sabotage.

Piece of Mind deals with the reality of waking every day and choosing not to die. It's about keeping on keeping on. It's about fighting for your life when death seems so much easier. It's about becoming a best-selling novelist and fulfilling your dreams and then feeling so utterly empty inside that an ocean of whisky isn't enough.

Sounds bleak? It's damn funny too.
