Good news! My brain injury website soft launch is here!! My pandemic project, an idea brewing in my head for almost a decade, bits and pieces written over a long time, all coming together. When I wrote Concussion Is Brain Injury, I saved the related-name domains, intending to expand the book into a website. A…

Gamma 38 to 42Hz Audiovisual Entrainment for Brain Injury, Single Subject Study
Introduction In 2012, following my inclusion in and subsequent exit from a drug trial that increases GABA in the brain, the ADD Centre, working with me, demonstrated that brain biofeedback of 39 to 42Hz at CZ can increase gamma brainwaves and effect radical improvement in a person with brain injury. You can find the research…
Back To Feedblitz
Feedblitz has an impossible design template, a confusing layout, but it doesn’t fatally crash my website. Who knew that MailPoet, a plugin by the makers of this website’s software backend, would regularly throw up bugs and, in a final act of petulance, create a fatal error requiring hours to fix: time with support, restoring an…
Ebooks Up for Pre-Order — At Last!
Ebook pre-order announcement time! As some of you may know, I’d wanted to create an accessible ebook for Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief: How to Heal When You Are Alone back when I released the paperback in 2022. But I failed. I never could figure out how to create an accessible ebook. Meanwhile, Smashwords had…
Cover Reveals Title
Today is the day! I’m ready to reveal the title and cover of the first book in my trilogy!! But first, drum roll, please, with a final cymbal ring, as I reveal the trilogy’s title. The Q’Zam’Ta Trilogy As I pondered, tested, googled various trilogy titles using the word “resurrection” or some English synonym, I…
Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony

Since I wanted to continue trying out my new ASUS laptop, I decided to stream the Opening Ceremony in the background. Yesterday, I’d connected my monitor to my…
Updating My Writing Steps
Updating my writing steps: Getting back into fiction writing means reminding myself how I got from idea to finish manuscript.
Leaving Twitter and Facebook
I’ve been putting off this moment — leaving Twitter and Facebook — but it’s time to say bye to Twitter and Facebook. I’m not deactivating my accounts, but I’ve become so uncomfortable posting even article links that I can’t anymore, tho I’m missing my peeps very much. I’ve been on Tw since 2008, FB 2007.
The UK Vote and Dual Citizenship: Do I Vote?
This year, for the first time, overseas British citizens can vote in the UK election, which means I, a dual Canadian-British citizen can vote in a UK general election, which I’d never considered possible before and has sent me into a bit of a tizzy. I have a decision to make. Is it OK for…
The Writing Workshop Life
Not sure why but this year, I’ve impulsed my way into writing workshops, events, and this week a series of conversations on the artisan author. I think my subconscious decided I needed a kick to get back into novelling. And it worked. The retrofitting ended…almost…but it took a year longer than planned, and technical and…
MailPoet vs. Feedblitz
MailPoet is easier to design with and integrated in my website, but Feedblitz seems to work better at getting the posts update newsletter out and on time. I think, too, more subscribers see and engage with the ones Feedblitz sends out. I’ve returned to the Tuesday early-morning time for the posts newsletter. Let’s see if…
