Did you know that the first recorded case of Tourette syndrome was recorded in 1825? Yet it didn't become an official diagnosis until 1885, one year after the death of the woman recorded in 1825.

Meaning she never knew why she was doing the things she was doing.

As a countess in Regency-era France, there were high expectations for nobility. Dealing with the swearing form of Tourette syndrome complicated her life.

No one knew much about the mysterious Mme. Dampierre from the medical journals, until her name was discovered in 2020.

Now it is finally time for her story to be told, 200 years after the doctor visit that became the gateway for a diagnosis for millions of people with Tourette syndrome.

This giveaway celebrates the launch of her story, Madamn, by giving away an immersive experience box. One lucky winner will receive a paperback copy of Madamn with four immersive gifts to open as you read the novel.

There will be sticky notes throughout the novel to tell you when to open your gift.

Madamn Blurb:

Ernestine is cursed. At least, that is what some whisper about her. Others say she is possessed by the devil.

France 1815; Ernestine Emilie Prondre de Guermantes should have had it all. The French Revolution had ended. Her family not only survived but maintained their chateau and their fortunes as well.

However, she is plagued by a mysterious malady unlike any recorded illness. Occasionally, she loses control of her own body. Her limbs fly of their own accord and obscenities escape her tongue at all sorts of random intervals.

All Ernestine wants is to feel some sense of control over her own body and her own life.

Known for years simply as the mysterious "Mme. Dampierre" in medical journals, this woman was key to the discovery and naming of this curious condition. Her story is extraordinary. Her influence prevails though previously unknown and forgotten.

Inspired by true events, Madamn tells the story of the cursed noblewoman who refused to hide.
