writer

As a writer, I bring a unique blend of personal experience and professional expertise to my work, driven by a commitment to advocacy and justice. My writing spans a range of topics, including victims' rights, disability advocacy, eldercare, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Through my books, articles, blogs, and podcast, "Shattered Lives," I aim to shine a light on the often overlooked and underserved communities, sharing stories that inspire change and foster understanding. My goal is to give a voice to those who need it most, using my platform to educate, inform, and empower readers to take action and make a difference in the world.

I’m excited to announce my first children’s book, Plugnose and the Fisherman is now available for purchase!

books

Invited to write the foreword for Surviving Loss by Homicide, I introduce readers to the sorrow experienced when losing a loved one suddenly to violent crime. I describes to readers the reality of being a victim, as well as the importance of care, kindness, compassion, and resiliency.

In Victim Impact Statements, I compare, contrast, and teach others the differences involved in presenting a victim impact statement at sentencing, during a plea bargain, and later at a possible parole hearing.

Grief Diaries is the result of heartfelt testimonials from a dedicated and loving group of people. By sharing their stories, the reader will find inspiration and a renewed sense of comfort as they move through their own journey." -CANDACE LIGHTNER, Founder of Mothers Against Drunk Driving
