"It was called Arnold the Crab and Other Stories and was a story, a poem and an essay," she said.

Since then, she has written countless other works and had a total of nine books published with more on the way.

When she was diagnosed with a unique neurological disorder called face blindness, her family told her it was "just another thing, like Arnold the Crab."

Sellers' disorder prohibits her from remembering a human face and from telling one apart from another.

"I can see the face but if I turn away I can't remember. It's a memory problem not a vision problem, [but] if I explain this to someone, they think I'm nuts."

She says understanding how her brain is affected by her disorder requires a PhD in neurology, as there is so little is known about face blindness.

"I was never going to tell anybody. I didn't even know about it and I was determined to keep whatever was wrong with me a secret."

However, when a friend helped Sellers realize that it was not a mental illness but rather an identifiable disorder, she said, "I thought, I have to tell the world!"

In her latest book and first work of non-fiction Sellers does just that. You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know addresses loving her "really, really flawed family" and coming to terms with her neurological disorder. Sellers has three books of poetry, three books on the craft of writing, a children's book, a collection of short stories, and now adds You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know to her new category of non-fiction.

"I felt like I had to do it," she says, referring to her need to expand into a new genre. "It's a lot bigger deal to tell your own story and the whole thing is about keeping things secret. The only way of making sense of this terrible ... situation was that I had to tell it."

In addition to addressing her life with face blindness, Sellers also explores her family life.

"[My family] doesn't believe in it. They can't get their minds around it. My family is very smart but ... they don't understand it," Sellers said about her condition.

She goes beyond facing her disorder to explore the everyday aspects of life with difficult family members who are unable to come to terms with the fact that Sellers must rely on "voice, jewelry, shoes, hair, gaits [or] walks" to identify who someone is rather than their face.

"I'm really good at [identifying] people from the back who are walking away," she says with a laugh.

While Sellers' disorder may have been preexisting since birth, she also maintains that she was born a writer. Sellers has her next five years planned out for her writing and publication schedule and, while neither of her upcoming works addresses her mysterious neurological condition, Sellers hopes they will "help someone else figure out how it is we get through [it]."
