Hi. My name is Greg Bauder and I have had schizoaffective disorder for 30

years. I spent many years trying different meds and living in psychiatric boarding homes and hospital. When I went on Zyprexa and Luvox 9 years ago I completed a BA in English and I had two novels published about

schizophrenia, THE TEMPTRESS ARIEL and SELENE'S GUIDING LIGHT. I used to hear voices, see things and have paranoid delusions but I found

that the right meds are very important for people with mental illness. I

hope people will be interested in reading my realistic, non-violent novels

which I wrote because I am frustrated by the stigma of schizophrenia.

I too am frustrated by the stigmas. I plan on reading your books. I volunteer as a speaker to try and dispel the stigmas. I feel by telling my story that I can change the way people with mental illnesses are perceived. I wish you the best of luck!
