Randi
Kreger is a professional writer and public relations marketing
executive as well as a researchers writer of BPD publications.
Unable to find sufficient information about the effects of BPD
behavior on families and friends, she began researching the issue
on the Internet. Eventually, she collected more than 1,000 stories
from BPs and non-BPs alike; much of Stop Walking on Eggshells
was based on this first-hand research.
Kreger
moderates several non-BP Internet discussion groups and maintains
a comprehensive World Wide Web site about the disorder (www.BPDCentral.com).
Thousands of people have been involved with the discussion groups
over the last five years, many of whom have met in person during
real-world informal get-togethers around the United Stated. Her
site is one of the most well-known on the Net about BPD.
Kreger
is the co-author of two booklets about BPD, Love and Loathing:
Protecting Your Mental Health and Legal Rights When Your Partner
has BPD and Hope for Parents: Helping Your Borderline Son or Daughter
Without Sacrificing Your Family Or Yourself, both published in
1999 by Kreger's Eggshells Press. A short fiction story by Kreger
has been included in Best Women's Erotica, edited by Marcy Sheiner
(2000) Cleis Press.
