I am thrilled to find out Hurt Magic is appearing in libraries! Thank you, All who’ve worked so hard to get this very important book out there for kids who’ve been bullied or abused. I wrote something that would have comforted me as a child, and illustrated it with the bright colors and funny art that captivated me back then. Still love them!

I’ve started working on the second Charlie book in the trilogy about his experiences in the Pacific in World War ll. The first was Bougainville, this second is Guam, and the third will be Iwo Jima. I am grateful beyond measure to his brother and sister Marines of the Third Marine Division group I belong to, who set this dumb civilian straight about so many things I was unsure of. I’ll soon be badgering and begging them for info and insight as I dive into the abject horror of Guam as my beloved stepdad Charlie remembered it. Over a decade of interviewing him (I only saw him once a year each summer), endless research and the gracious courage of this great man in trusting me enough to share his story, has led to the creation of these books.

My mom had some amazing abilities.

I’m going to start blogging again. Until then, here’s some of my old stuff from when I first wrote my memoir Freak: The True Story of an Insecurity Addict.

I loved working in that lovely little shop. Crazy and wonderful things happened there all the time.

This was a blast to write! Tino (Sabatino Stefanile) did a mountain of research for me to sift through and all of it was fascinating. #AI #sexworker #apocalypse #sciencefiction

One of the worst things chronic abuse and bullying do to a child is it robs them of wonder. As Maya Angelou said, it introduces cynicism, and there is nothing so tragic as a cynical child. “They go from knowing nothing to believing nothing.” So keep this in mind, all of you out there, my brothers and sisters of circumstance: You are not a piece of shit. You never were. It was always a lie. And we are nobody’s dirty little secret.

This was my first author interview for my memoir Freak: The True Story of an Insecurity Addict. I self published Freak years ago, way before it was picked up, along with all my other books, by TalcMedia. The great Anre Fuentes interviewed me. #freakinsecurityaddict #survivingabuse #selfhatred #selflove

I love kids and their always fascinating, often wacky view of the world.

Bullying is a behavioral addiction. Ways to avoid being their fix. #bullying #freakinsecurityaddict #selflove
