Self-published author H.P. Waitt’s passion for increasing awareness about mental illness is why she decided to have her main character in her debut book Band of Shadows: The Scarlet Onyx Saga live with the same mental illnesses that Waitt did as a teenager.  Waitt shares her experiences in therapy, how her anxiety and depression manifests, what coping looks like for her, and why you shouldn’t look at your illness as a character flaw. Waitt also shares the work she’s doing of raising awareness on restoring our oceans and fighting human trafficking.
