About the book
County Mayo resident Sinead Flynn has drawn from her personal experiences with mental health to write Superwoman, her debut novel. Superwoman follows the central character Louise, who is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder following a violent altercation.
Describing the inspiration behind her debut, the talented author says: “At the moment in Ireland there is a real trend and campaign in motion to relieve the stigma of mental health issues, so I wanted to write about an ordinary person who becomes ill”.
“I drew from personal experience with anxiety, as well as the experiences of people I spoke to while researching the themes and topics of mental illness and anxiety/depression/post-traumatic stress disorder.”
“While writing the book I spoke to a lady who has suffered from mental health issues throughout her entire life. She told me that she would really like to read a first-person account of someone suffering from poor mental health, so I decided to write that story whilst trying to make it relatable for a wide audience”.
About the author Sinead Flynn is from the West of Ireland and started writing Superwoman in 2014. Having been an avid reader all her life, it was always an ambition of hers to write a book herself.
Superwoman by Sinead Flynn is published by Austin Macauley and is available from Austinmacauley.com, Amazon and all good book retailers.
