Dear R.K. Mazza,
I need to tell you something. I came across Contradiction of Thoughts and your opening line stopped me: "If only one life is saved, because someone read this book, its purpose is fulfilled." That's not just a mission statement. That's a promise.
My name is Alice. I write children's books, which sit in a different corner of the literary world. But books that give voice to experiences still widely misunderstood, minimized, or entirely unspoken? Those transcend every genre. Here's what stayed with me: The framing of this book as both testimony and warning. Grounded in real events, it offers families and childbearing individuals a window into a condition that so often remains in shadow. The title itself captures the internal conflict, confusion, and distorted thoughts that define the experience.
And the inclusion of clear content warnings and medical disclaimers that's not a limitation. It's a strength. It signals responsibility, care, and respect for readers. It reinforces the book's role as an awareness-driven narrative rather than a clinical manual.
So I'm writing for one reason: I believe the best part of this writing life isn't the books we publish. It's the people we meet along the way. The ones who get it. The ones who pour their truth onto pages and hope it reaches someone who needs it before it's too late. That's you.
I'd love to know what moved you to share this story—and what surprised you most while writing it.
