My Friend Fox.

This is my living, breathing version of a mental health file that psych wards, doctors, mental health staff or rehab workers know little about or use as evidence of diagnoses. This is my account of what happened to me, through the lens of the psychiatric system. My story is shadowed by the story of a fox who knows he'll never belong. My Friend Fox contains 30 illustrations, or what I call photographs, of extraordinary events etched in my memory.

Available at Australian and NZ bookstores, most online booksellers (Amazon, Booktopia etc) and Audiobooks.
