Alpha read available
I know most people don’t use Wattpad.
I personally haven’t touched it in years and for myself for this being my second novel, I felt it was best to allow people in on the creation.
Hollow wing of Blackmore- is my second novel representing bipolar from the point of view of the character. Ghost of Blackmore does it first with multiple POV’s..
Hallow Wing story is to show how the institutions like the churches reacted and made people with bipolar feel.
( not just bipolar, mental health in general)
My goal for my writing as someone that was diagnosed young at the age of 10, with bipolar, ADHD and CPTSD. I grew up in an Irish- American household, so I was always told that mental health was not talked about.
My one goal is to be able to show how bipolar actually makes a person’s mind react, and how they’re seeing their everyday life not just the highs and lows that Hollywood bipolar only shows
And yes, I clarify that the stuff that’s shown in Hollywood is Hollywood bipolar, not actual bipolar.
Unfortunately, my Books will probably be hard for most people to read because I do not soften the trauma, and I do not soften the story.
My stories are probably for most people too hard to understand. But my goal is to bring awareness because bipolar and itself is one of the misunderstood diagnosis..
I can contest that The Ghost of Blackmore is showing how grief shows with bipolar.
Hollow wing- shows how growing up with bipolar how the institutions(churches) and adult adults, treat and react to it.
Seraphine- is raised Irish catholic and becomes a sister,
The story bases of her battling temptation and trying to stick with her faith while dealing with these mental disorders the story set back in the early 1900s so before people cared.
This is the show the reality of what people throughout history dealt with. Yes it is done fiction.
These stories would be considered a dark fiction with romance undertones.
But the question remains could you be willing to sit inside of a mind of someone who suffers with these disorders to understand what they’re feeling and how they perceive the world?
I don’t claim that this is how it is for everyone because my characters come from personal experiences so they don’t only just have bipolar. They suffer with ADHD and CPTSD..
But would you be willing to read?

Writing from personal experience with bipolar disorder, ADHD, and CPTSD has allowed me to deeply connect with the characters in "Hollow Wing of Blackmore." Mental health is often glamorized or inaccurately depicted in mainstream media, making authentic narratives like this novel crucial for fostering understanding and empathy. The story's focus on how institutions, particularly churches, have historically responded to mental health challenges adds important context. Growing up in an Irish-American household where mental health was taboo, I recognize how silence can deepen the struggle for those affected. What struck me most is the novel's commitment to conveying the complexity of bipolar disorder beyond the typical highs and lows. It dives into the daily thought processes, emotional responses, and trauma that shape the lived experience. This aligns with my own observations and has made reading the alpha version both eye-opening and painful in a meaningful way. Setting part of the story in the early 1900s through the character Seraphine introduces a dimension of historical stigma and resilience. It reminds us how far society has come and yet how stigma continues to impact those with mental health conditions. If you’re willing to journey into the mind of someone navigating these disorders, this novel offers an unfiltered window—a blend of dark fiction and romance that refuses to soften the truth. It challenges readers to go beyond sympathy and into deeper understanding. I believe works like "Hollow Wing of Blackmore" are vital not just for those with similar diagnoses but for anyone wanting to grasp the nuances of mental health. They invite reflection on how we perceive and support those silently struggling around us. For anyone interested in mental health literature, indie authors, or dark fiction, this alpha read on Wattpad is worth exploring. It’s a poignant reminder of the power of storytelling to connect, educate, and inspire change.
