Pet Purpose by Xanthe Wyse
Xanthe published her first novel, Pet Purpose: Your Unspoken Voice in 2021. Pet Purpose is semiautobiographical, about a character navigating love and loss with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There is emphasis on the experience of bipolar mania after trauma. Pet Purpose took seven years to complete, as it is very complex. Xanthe's best writing effort to date. Readers described it as very emotional and said it gave a clear picture of what bipolar with PTSD is like.
Heni is a 'rescuer' - of pets and men. That's where the cliché ends. Nothing is predictable with bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). An intense, passionate read.
Pet Purpose is available as a paperback from Amazon and as an e-book from Amazon and

Reviews of Pet Purpose
International 5-star reviews of Pet Purpose on Amazon:
Bipolar CRinge
This memoir was written in 2014 to 2015, as an attempt to process the demise of Xanthe's marriage. Most of it was written before she changed her name, legally, from trauma. Originally published under another title, under a pen name, Xanthe thought she had deleted all files but recovered a copy of the e-book. She retyped it, with minimal editing and published it as Bipolar Cringe in 2021.
Most of it is in the original first draft, including out of sequence storytelling, raw and minimally processed. It is an account of a massive mania episode with hypersexuality. Written while unwell, before therapy, while emotions were still shut down from trauma.
An open marriage after two decades of monogamy. What could go wrong?

Upcoming books
Xanthe is currently writing a second memoir, Bipolar Courage about some of the behind-the-scenes connections that came about because of her advocacy journey as Bipolar Courage. This memoir is more complex than Bipolar Cringe and the main focus is why she fell for a complicated man online and the emotional rollercoaster and the bigger picture of the related drama.
She only considered writing another memoir when she decided to publish Bipolar Cringe. She anticipates publishing Bipolar Courage sometime in 2022. Bipolar Cringe was written before therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Bipolar Courage is being written as therapy is coming to an end. Bipolar Cringe was a no filter account of an aspect of her past. Bipolar Courage is being written with more consideration to what she wants to reveal and wants to keep private.
She is also writing the sequel to Pet Purpose, called Soar Purpose. She anticipates going more into fiction territory. She expects Soar Purpose will take a few years to write (hopefully not seven years, like Pet Purpose).
All four books are linked but have very little overlap. All very different perspectives and styles of writing. Xanthe's books so far are self-published, as she did not want her voice to be altered or to have pressure of deadlines or overwhelming publicity.
