LOCKED DOWN BUBBLING UP By Mark Rice, Lesley Smith, Mairead de Bhal IR RATING:3.5Though all the stories are tied to a central theme, LOCKED DOWN BUBBLING UP is a collection by three writers that is by turns pastoral and urban, tragic and funny, lighthearted and intense–a surprising mix of dark thrills, heartwarming tales, fear, love, life and death during COVID-19 quarantine.Short…

I'll never let my fear of dying (or anything else) threaten my dreams again I don't like to admit that I'm afraid of what my autoimmune condition, igg4 related systemic disease, will do to me. But, the truth is I have often thought complications from it could cut my life short. I usually bury the worry using my faith or denial. However, it took control off me in July 2014 and nearly ruined my dreams. Six months after finishing my memoir, Misdiagnosed: The Search for Dr. House, I was on my way to publication. I'd gotten a foreword from late comedian Bernie Mac's widow Rhonda McCullough. I had reviews from bestselling authors: Wes Moore, Richard Cohen and Marya Hornbacher. I had three magazine reviews: Publisher's Weekly, Kirkus Reviews and IndieReader. Then, I learned that I had to have a second stomach repair operation, a Nissen fundoplication redo. The news rocked me to my core because I'd already endured a six lymphoma related surgical biopsies and numerous other procedures in a two year period. My body was tired and so was my soul. I feared I wouldn't survive. I prayed about what to do with my book. I remember thinking that I should stay the course. But, I ignored my internal voice. I wrote to my agent and cancelled my contract, abandoned the foreword and decided to self-publish. My book got lost in the shuffle of the thousands of other self-published titles. The cover with a stock image didn't get it noticed. And, I didn't have the money or energy to promote it. I'd rushed the book out because I was afraid that if I died no one would ever see it or be helped by my story. Yet, by not giving it the polish and publicity it deserved, I'd failed. I thought I had no choice but to live with my decision to hurry Misdiagnosed to the marketplace. Then, I saw a Publisher's Weekly Booklife contest offering a free book cover redesign. I entered the contest and I was chosen. Now I'm re-releasing the revamped book on April 24, 2017 (Read the rest at NikaBeamon.com) #igg4 #autoimmune disease #chronicillness #chronicpain #memoir #death #fear #BernieMac #RhondaMcCullough #SerendipityLiterary #SheWritesPress #PublishersWeekly #KirkusReviews #IndieReader
