Welcome! I'm Maggie.
My debut memoir is called SPLIT, and it is all about breaking down stigmas and changing the narrative around complex mental health! It launched in May and I'm really enjoying sharing my journey!
Have a look around my website and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear from you!
... and other things ...
I'm laying low these days, neck deep into my next manuscript, all about motherhood and its varying shapes -- the good, the bad and the oh-so-interesting! I hope to have a solid first draft by mid-October when I'll be diving into the production of SPLIT as an audio book!
Byron Writers Festival was a blast -- not only sharing about SPLIT, but learning from other inspiring authors and their journeys. October I'll be doing a lot of local talks as part of Mental Health Awareness Month (details available on my On Tour page). I've been recording a number of podcasts lately that will be airing soon. You can always keep up with my publicity and talks here.
What is being said about SPLIT ...
A rare and fascinating journey
into the origin and turmoil
of living with Multiple
Personality Disorder.
Michelle Tom, 10,000 Aftershocks
It is at times a harrowing read,
but then if it was not there would be no inspiration, no
'rising above' - the valuable gift that real-life accounts such as this have to offer us.
Dr George Blair-West, Psychiatrist and author, The Girl in The Green Dress
This is a story not only of survival but of self-acceptance, of the triumph to simply live. You will not read another book like it.
Alan Close, Before You Met Me
SPLIT is a compelling read - brave. You have created an accessible and moving story out of the chaos and pain of complex trauma. I appreciate the beautiful structure! From the very beginning you establish trust with the reader - I felt in safe hands - no mean feat for any writer, let alone a story covering the topics you explore.
