What Have I Experienced?

My disabilities and health conditions consist of but aren't limited to: endometri I’m Black (with Irish and Cherokee sprinkled in to fuck things up further), autistic, aromantic, noetisexual, asexual (though not a celibate one, so that tends to confuse asexuals who are), organic multilinker, Radically (radical non-monogamy coined by Milton Goosby) Integrated Non-Monogamist, autodidact, relationship fluid (term created by Louisa Leontiades), disabled, single parent, in poverty, kinky switch/Dom/me, assigned female at birth, multisynesthetic (most notably visual/touch), intersex, Othergender, Army brat, survivor of several forms of abuse, left-handed, singleish, and panerotic. If anything, I’m a metanoiac alethiologist.

What Have I Experienced?

My disabilities and health conditions consist of but aren't limited to: endometriosis, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, costocondritis, cPTSD, dysautonomia, fibromyalgia, EDS, plantar fasciitis, eczema, secondary anxiety and depression. I’ve lived in severe poverty for my entire life, including a recent bout of extended homelessness. I’ve had several major surgeries, survived more rapes than I can count, and narrowly escaped stalkers, domestic violence, and murderers. I’ve been writing cuil fiction, my invented intersectional queer and polya genre, for nearly two decades. I've raised my children on and off with my sister. I’m also a not-quite widow; within months of one another I lost both a former cis afab partner and a then-current cis amab partner, both disabled BlaQueer people.

What Do I Know?

I attended many schools, majoring in areas as diverse as: Drama, Instrumental Music, Choir, Dance, Aviation Maintenance, Teaching and Technology, Brain and Mind Studies (which includes an in-depth integrated approach to the different disciplines dealing with, well, the brain and the mind), Women Gender and Sexuality Studies, and even Objectivism.

Of course, that’s only my education on paper, the only kind wacademia accepts; since the age of 12 or so I’ve also been a voracious self-taught student of history, sexuality, religions, cosmology, philosophy, math, technology - anything that caught my fancy.

I spend the majority of my time presently engaging in fleshing out the many corners of the cuilverse (the fictional and explicitly intersectional world of my BlaQueer, polya, speary characters); updating my writing on Medium or otherwise educating folks online; serving as a guide for transformative courses such as Integrated Non-Monogamy (another creation of mine) and a few others of intersectional focus.

I was also a contributor to the Postmodern Woman magazine (as well as the sole editor after Louisa turned it over to me), Crossing Genres, and Polyamory on Purpose. I did time as a transcriptionist and social media associate for Everyday Feminism. Additionally, it was my honor to serve as the Digital Content Outreach Coordinator for The Body is Not an Apology and as a board member of Hypatia Software.

Currently, I am a well-rounded Public Speaker at the revamped Metanoiac Space - offering a number of courses of varying topics with which I have personal and educational experience. I am also a Community Health Champion for Harbor Health. In my nonexistent spare time, I am the Sensitivity Editor and Founder for Cuil Press.

What you'll get from supporting me

I create integrated and intersectional content. I have unique expertise in a wide array of seemingly disparate areas, yet I manage to integrate it in some pretty fascinating ways.

I'm one hell of a bird, silly as anything, and love to synchronize all the facets of life. ...more

Oh, I am on fire!! Today I finish up The Colds, a book in the interconnected BTS universe that takes place alongside the Allison Dutch series. It follows a young girl who discovers more about ghosts and other creatures than she ever wanted to. Will she ever be able to just make comics like she's always dreamed? Who knows! In other wonderful news, The Black Tree Series Book Nine: The Next Generation is just about ready to be published. As soon as I decide on the outline color for the cover, I'll be making it available through all of the usual sites. And right after that, I'll finish up one of the other books I'm working on right now (so two of the three books I've been working on will be finished this month!). That book is called Not Like Me and it's the third, perhaps last installment of yet another crossover series. I'm loving this. Hint hint, Not Like Me shows a little about how Mark Blue came into the mix during the Allison Dutch series. I know this is a lot but I am doing a lot and I'm just so excited about it I have to share!

Nine books out of 14 typed up now. I'm on a roll! As soon as I receive the cover art for book one of the Black Tree series I'll start publishing it. I'll put up two this month since I missed the past two months. Really, though, it will be four books because books one and three are together and books six and seven are together (is that too awkward a sentence?). If you've read my book guide you'll understand why those numbers are strange. I have explained to the best of my ability what is missing and my plans to reconstruct it. You can find my book guide and a juicy little teaser for my latest fantastic idea at: www.focusforward.weebly.com/mics-work...

Hello!
I have reprinted The Changing of Allison Dutch. I plan on reprinting the second book and then printing the last book for the first time ever! Interspersed with all of this, I will also begin publishing The Black Tree series. I will first create the ebooks then make the print copy later in the same month. There are I think 14 or 15 books (give or take the missing ones) so it will take up the rest of this year. That gives me time to write and finish up a few of my other stories (I write a lot!).

If you would like a hard copy of The Changing that you can lovingly hold in your hands visit https://www.createspace.com/4103959?r... and purchase away! Happy reading.

Hello all,

I am working on an updated version of The Life of Allison Dutch. It is hard work, but I love it. I have also uploaded The Changing of Allison Dutch (the first in the series) here for your reading pleasure. The Legacy of Allison Dutch will also soon be made available on here as well. Then I will be working on the first series I ever wrote, The Black Tree Series, in order to publish it next year. There are many tie-ins between the two, so I hope that you will read them all.
