Local author, songwriter signed to publish heartbreaking journey of husband’s fatal brain cancer diagnosis.
ROACH, Mo. — Local author Brenda Libby recently teamed up with Tate Publishing to publish her new book On the Outskirts of Crazy.
“After my spouse's death from Glioblastoma, my decision to write the book came from over two years of pondering the issues, [and] being advised by medical professionals that I had a story to share that could possibly help others,” shared Libby when reflecting on the inspiration behind her book. “It also gave me the option to set the record straight for myself, if not for anyone else. It's been the most therapeutic exercise I have attempted in years!”
When asked about their decision to sign the book, Tate Publishing acquisitions editor Kortney Disney responded, “It really drew me in and made me want to read more…”
Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book will be available upon its release through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.
Brenda Libby has always been addicted to words and music. At the age of 20, Brenda Libby and her first husband opened their own musical show, The Country Shindig, in Osage Beach, Missouri and it was an immediate success. It wasn't long before she felt the need to spread her wings and spent a few years writing with some of her mentors in Nashville, Tenn. Hall of Fame songwriter, Wayne Carson, produced 3 songs with Brenda and Give It Back enjoyed success in many playlists and was featured in Cashbox magazine, DJ Week, with a write up calling her singing style “refreshing”. After losing her voice for 2 years due to thyroid surgery in 1998, Brenda made God a promise that she would devote her life to using her talents to helping others when she could. After she got back her voice, her songwriting began soaring, along with the need to write. In 2011, amid the chaos Libby was living in her life, she was blessed with the Western Music Association naming On the Outskirts of Crazy a Top 10 hit album. After discussing some of her last few years’ traumas and misgivings with medical professionals, friends and others, including her husband’s diagnosis, many advised that she certainly had the fodder for an exciting and interesting book. Thus, On the Outskirts of Crazy was born.
