John has also written for HealthCentral and MentalHelp.net and has adapted the voluminous material of <em>Storied Mind</em> into the ebooks, <em>Surviving Depression Together</em> and <em>A Mind for Life</em>. A third book, <em>Depression Present Tense</em>, will soon be available.He has lived with his family and many generations of dogs and cats in New York, New Mexico, California and Minnesota, where he now indulges his love of science fiction through the blog <em>SciFi Mind</em>.<br>
