The Stigma of Mental Illness People with mental illness should not have to live under a stigma or be seen as less then. They are people that have challenges everyday faced with the normal things that other people find simple. Waking up in the morning, keeping interest in hobbies, having a simple conversation, doing routine things: all these can be difficult for someone suffering with mental illness. At times caregivers of those or family members can find it difficult to…..
So the United States White House and the President had leveled the Transgender Military Ban that transgender troops would be barred from the military and could not serve. The Defense Secretary later announced that the Pentagon would allow transgender people to serve openly. The Obama administration repealed discriminatory laws and supported transgender people serving. The new administration was seen as a threat to transgender troops and proved to be just that. In May 2017 two transgender cadets one at West…..
So I wanted to talk about manga today as I have 32 pages lineart done for graphic noiz manga 2. I wanted to talk about yaoi today as there are various heat levels in the genre. Now I have written about me not writing romance and again I will reiterate, I will not write romance but that does not stop me from writing a yaoi manga. This may be semantics but it means something to me. There is no happily…..
I just finished the manuscript for graphic noiz: book 3. This volume increases the stakes in the current series and the tension is heightened. In order to do this I had to introduce a ghost from the past into the life of the bestselling writer Shiro Ijima in the story. The story is 33,261 words which is about the length of the previous book. Because the novellas are relatively short it is easier to increase the tension in the story……

Excerpt from Chapter 1: The Alchemist’s Ranger, the prequel novella to The Seer of Grace and Fire The rain poured down in sheets pounding the ground, leaving the streets near empty as the dark of night drew close. Timorn held the hood of his tunic close to his face, clutching the green tanned hide in his fingers as he darted down the road covering his head and keeping the rain out of his eyes. He had been running for twenty…..
Over the past week, the world has potentially become less safe for minorities, immigrants, Muslim-Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, African Americans, people with disabilities and those in the LGBT community. With all the divisiveness of the United States Presidential campaign in 2016, it is no wonder that people are scared. I myself have seen hate speech and people harassed for being who they are. It is not okay to treat each other rudely and it is not okay to stomp on…..
So we have a new book in the works entitled “trans-sub-consternation” which is a young adult (YA) novel about a transgender protagonist. The manuscript is almost finished. I wrote the book on a dare from a former coworker who thought me writing about being trans would help people. Now, in no way did I think my life story would help someone but I gave it a whirl. In college when I was 16 and a Freshman, I did not know…..
So I wanted to talk a little bit about accepting yourself. I know each one of us has something that they don’t like about their bodies. Could be your feet, your hair, your thighs, your lack of 6-pack abs. Sure you can work on these things and come to better understand and accept yourself but for a trans person this dysphoria takes on a whole new level of meaning. So I have been over last year and this year in…..
So today I had a unique problem, one that I have only experienced twice in the past year. For many Trans Women of Colour the danger to their safety is something that they have to live with in public. Transgender people experience more hate crimes and discrimination than any other group of people including African Americans and gays. Trans Women of Colour especially need to look out for their safety as they are sometimes targeted. Today, I had an experience…..
