In this short episode, I will introduce my new Podcast, "Fractured Ink: Writing in Life's Chaos." The podcast discusses fiction novels about families faced with a severe challenge. I have published two novels on such a theme. The first novel is "The Overlife: A Tale of Schizophrenia" ("The Overlife" for short (https://www.amazon.com/dp/191685219X). The second novel is "Three Kidnapped, Three Siblings, Three Furies" ("Three Siblings for short) (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DR9K6YMG). Though fiction, the novels are based on real events in my life and the lives of close family and friends. I live with schizophrenia, as did my mother, which inspired "The Overlife." I suffer from complex PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), which inspired "Three Siblings."

I reassure my audience that, though some of the issues I discuss are severe, my podcast will also include humor, my hobbies, my loves, and an explanation of how I succeeded in research mathematics and as a university professor.
