Waiting On Wednesday (114)

"Waiting On Wednesday" is a weekly event, hosted by Jill from Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Life is but a Dream by Brian James



Alec and Sabrina are crazy in love. Problem is: Sabrina’s really crazy.

Sabrina, an artist, is diagnosed with schizophrenia, and her parents check her into the Wellness Center. There she meets Alec, who is convinced it's the world that's crazy, not the two of them. They are meant to be together; they are special. But when Alec starts to convince Sabrina that her treatment will wipe out everything that makes her creative, she worries that she'll lose hold of her dreams and herself. Should she listen to her doctor? Her decision may have fatal consequences.


Finally! MY NAME on a book! As a main character! :) And she's crazy, that's ah, you know, er nice touch. 


Release Date: March 27, 2012

  4. I've never read a book with the MC having schizophrenia, so that definitely sounds intriguing. Ohhh, and I noticed the release date is my birthday!! Thanks for sharing this one.

  6. This one sounds great, haven't heard of it. It is fun to have your name as a main character.

  7. Ha and Sabrina has always been one of my favorite character and classic movies (Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart). The remake was OK too.

    Anyway I am looking forward to reading this one and hope that it handles the subject matter well, as I am a bit concerned about that. Great pick!

  13. Glad people are excited about it.

    Sidenote: the main character was originally named Sierra in my proposal, then somewhere in an email, my publisher referred to her accidently as Sabrina. When I started writing it, I realized I liked Sabrina better.
