Mental Health
On the mental health side of things, some of you may know me by my writing on Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) at ThinkingTooLoud.org.

Intentions, road to Hell and all that.
For more information on CPTSD, memes, and resources see the Mental Health Index. My blog ThinkingTooLoud is now here.
My Book — Unhomed
Seeing as how I already mentioned it. I wrote a book.
Then I wrote another one.
Another one followed that. So now I had three.
But, this book, Unhomed, is special because this is the book that is being published.
I am pleased to announce my novel will be published by Lights Out Ink
