About the Author...
Sheridan Hough is a journeyman storyteller, blogger, and lifelong mental health campaigner. He began writing The Soul Asylums – A Memoir of Love, Hope and Recovery during the pandemic of 2020, following ‘the breakdown of all breakdowns’ while writing his abandoned debut novel, Luther’s Dream.
The independent publication of his memoir gifted a second chance in life, and the opportunity to finally share this extraordinary story of renewal and resilience, two decades after conquering an epic case of writers block.
Today, Sheridan divides his time between working towards his vision of a Writers for Recovery community, devoting himself to family, and beachcombing by the ocean. And all hours of twilight spent resurrecting the bones of his deep buried ‘great’ novel.
