Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief: The Paperback Cometh!
Less than a week until the official release of the paperback of Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief! It’s the self-help book for people with brain injury alone and suffering. “Welcome to the world of brain injury, an unimaginable world. A world you and I don’t want to be in. And definitely not alone in it!…
Brain Injury, Easier Than The News
I was watching my favourite weather forecaster awhile ago and was slow to turn off the TV after it. Ever since the complete cock-up media did of the Ontario election, focusing on polls instead of literal life-and-death policies (which, of course they’ve now noticed, too late to avoid Ford fucking our democracy so he can…
Two Books – Two Yays!
Early this morning, I received the beta reader comments on book one of my Resurrection Trilogy. And a few hours later I discussed my self-help book with my editor, the one who guided me through Lifeliner and my first novels and oversaw Concussion Is Brain Injury (both editions).

It’s relatively easy (though super tiring, draining, exhausting) to research and put together facts, especially since I’ve essentially been doing that since 2005.…
Fanship is On!
Piracy. Capricious review takedowns. Nasty lies in author wars. Real fans being drowned out by haters and unable to know if their money is going to their fave authors. This is the current state of selling books on the internet, particularly on the virtual bookstore that shall not be named. Enter blockchain and a bright…
Fanship in Beta
One summer day, I listened to a webinar on block chain, hosted by Access Copyright. I did something unusual: I put my name and email down to contact me about developments. Usually, I don’t because . . . fatigue. Sigh. A few months later, they asked me if I’d like to be part of a…
COVID-19 Creates Another New Routine
One of the things about brain injury, like with COVID-19, is that you need routine to function well. Yet when you access treatments, routines must change upon returning skills, changed talents, and increasing functionality. Sometimes finding a new therapy or new psychiatrist or psychologist means a disrupted routine and once again finding your way to…
