GOOD NEWS: my book is officially in production!

The typesetting samples have been approved, the interior design process has begun, and the launch is planned for late January 2026.

In the meantime, I’m putting together my advance reader copy (ARC) reviewer team.

If you’re interested in receiving an advance copy, please read the information below and fill out the ARC Request form using the provided link. Leaving a review is always voluntary, but the main purpose of offering ARCs is to gather early reviews. Because the number of advance copies is limited, I can’t guarantee that every applicant will be selected.

Who’s eligible?

Anyone who has spent $50 or more on Amazon within the past ten months (Amazon uses this threshold to verify that your review can be published).

How it works:

1. Fill out the ARC Request form using the link below.
2. If you’re eligible, I will send you a confidential PDF version of the book by email.
3. You’ll have a few weeks to read it.
4. If you decide you’d like to share your thoughts, you can write your honest review once you’ve finished reading. (Reviews are optional, but early feedback is the reason I’m offering ARCs.)
5. When the book launches in January, you can post your review on Amazon if you choose to do so.
6. I’ll send two reminder emails the week before launch, and one on launch day—as gentle reminders for those who plan to leave a review.

If you are interested in joining the ARC Team, please fill out this link: https://forms.gle/51uriBEN8QnbrNnx8

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the page for my upcoming book,
"Managing Mad Mast Cells in Daily Life"!

This page is an additional way to introduce my book, alongside my website, www.mcas-book.com, where you can find more information and sign up for updates.

"Managing Mad Mast Cells in Daily Life" is designed to be a comprehensive guide for those dealing with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). It offers a candid account of my personal story with MCAS, explanations of the medical aspects of MCAS, psychological coping strategies, practical solutions for daily management, and insights into nutrition with a focus on restricted diets.

By offering relatable content and practical solutions, the book aims to be a valuable resource for those affected by MCAS, as well as their loved ones, caregivers, and friends. It is crafted to help everyone better understand and manage the condition.

I’ve included every helpful insight I’ve gained since my MCAD diagnosis in 2017. Medically reviewed and supported by over 350 scientific references, it is designed as a practical "how-to guide" for navigating your personal journey with MCAS. While MCAS is a complex and multifaceted condition and my insights may not address every single personal challenge you might face, I believe this book provides a thorough overview and a solid starting point for making your own discoveries.

For more information, please visit www.mcas-book.com.
The mailing list serves two purposes: first, to keep you informed about the book’s launch, and second, to demonstrate market demand to publishers.

While self-publishing is an option, traditionally published books generally have a wider reach, better PR, and are displayed in bookstores. Since there may be many people affected by MCAS who haven’t yet heard about it, I want this book available in bookstores so it can reach those who need it.

Understanding that privacy is a concern for many, I created this public page as an alternative. It allows you to support the book without needing to share personal information.

Thank you for your support and interest!
Joy
