I am, more than anything, a Traveler, always seeking new ways to learn and grow. Especially in these challenging times, I am a passionate advocate of free speech. The practice of martial arts is a way of life for me. I am the co-founder of InsideOUT Writers, a creative writing program for incarcerated youth, and the founder of the MY WORLD PROJECT, connecting youth in remote areas through art and writing. I'm happiest living out of a suitcase and seeing where the next step in my journey will take me. For the past three years that has meant living in Luxor, Egypt, where I started the first boxing club for girls on the West Bank. I'm the author of numerous children's books and essays, as well as the Urban Fantasy series NIGHT ANGELS CHRONICLES. This year sees publication of my sci-fi/dark fantasy work, FIREFLY LANE, with Terror House Press. At the moment, I'm riding out this pandemic in Phoenix, but who can say where tomorrow will take me.

Traversing the Land of Fanatics, Part I

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” — Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World.

Reflections from a REAL-LIFE KAREN

Reading this post over again gave me more than a few chills. I wrote it almost a year before I ever started writing on Substack. At that time, I never would have dreamed I would be where I am today, researching these issues so deeply and building this amazing community. I’m so thankful for this writing journey and the opportunity to share it with my readers.

I, ZOMBIE

“This whole idea that [humans] have this soul or spirit, and they have free will and nobody knows what’s happening inside of me…that’s over.” Dr Yuval Noah
