Georgetown,
TX, USA (March 27, 2015) -- Join author Jane Thompson on a
journey through the frustrating, agonizing and deeply personal world
of mental illness in her new novel, Applied Biology: A Novel of
Bipolar Disorder (now available through Amazon and Kindle). Link:

In
a candid style and with compassion for bipolar disorder sufferers,
Thompson chronicles the struggles, failures and, ultimate triumphs of
her protagonist as she fights for her life as a mentally ill person
in a society that believes in the euthanasia of the mentally ill.
"It
is the tale of a woman who cheats death and goes up against Hitler,
getting those with power to power to speak out against his deadly
program," writes Thompson.
Claudia
managed to escape the soldiers who were determined to trap and kill
her from the asylum. She goes to work to publicize the ugly truth and
Hitler is forced to take his killing program underground.
Claudia
escapes Germany and goes to England, where she tries to work through
Churchill and Eisenhower to stop Hitler's reign of terror. Finally,
she ends up in the French Resistance where she fights the battle up
close and personal. We do not know the end of Claudia's and her
family's story, but it is a tale of Nazi Germany told from a
different perspective, from the inside out.
It
details the uphill battle to fight and live in a totalitarian society
with your life on the life on the line. It is a suspenseful,
humanitarian tale told with humor and grace. All the love Claudia
shows to the world is enough to make her a courageous and
unforgettable heroine.
The
target audience for this novel is those who suffer with this
diagnosis and those who love those who are afflicted. It will
ultimately teach people courage and hope.
