My first book is a collection of poems dealing with the extremes of emotion. It was written with the intention of bringing hope and comfort to any person who has ever suffered alone and understanding to the people who love them.

SOME BRIEF REVIEWS
Annette's book is an interesting read. Some of the work is confronting and gives you an insight into the mind of a bipolar sufferer. True to form however, some of the work is masterful in its diverse emotion, taking the reader from the depths of darkness to the giddy heights of mania. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it takes pride of place on my bookshelf.
David Williams
Interesting how we have both chosen a different way to describe the same pain. I can see why certain parts of my story appealed to you. The other thing your poems have in common is that they develop more depth the more they are read.
Mark Fitz-Walter (author: 'The Monsignor and the Madman')
Your poems reveal to me a disciplined and assured ability. You show a powerful command of language, a fluidity, evocative, smooth, confident. There is a comforting sense of rhythm and a quiet balance. The poems speak of the well nigh unbearable pain of an enduring, persistent ache. The overall effect is very powerful and reassuring.
Richard Mackey
I have read through your poetry a couple of times and the depth of emotion came about on the second reading. You have revealed much of your person in these. I certainly liked the poem 'Senses of Being' the most. You seem to have had a tough time in that period of your life and there is no disguising this in your poems. You certainly bare your soul. 'The Toadstool and the Rose' was beautiful but heartwrenching when you switch to the first person in the last stanza. I hope you publish more!
