Revival My Ass
Hello lovelies. I’ve been changing gears at work, freeing up time to work on what I most love. And the cuilverse is growing! New authors and new content will be coming to you soon, both through this site and on Medium! Postmodern Woman is also coming back in a big way soon, under my direction […]

I Let My Husband Rape Me, and Here’s Why…
Same shit I’ve been saying. #abuseculture. Why is that so hard to get? Why didn’t she leave? Because everyone is complicit. Because abusers are taken care of and supported in ways their victims aren’t. The world has always been backwards and upside down to me. Part of that is my neurodivergence, but it’s also because […]

Kaleidoscopes of Chaos – How Traumatic Boundary Violations Destroy The Capacity for Self-Care » The Art of Healing Trauma
I’m not sure why my sense of self always remained strong, even when powerless. But that’s the key difference between myself and many other survivors. My sense of my boundaries (and any hint of violation) was always on a hair trigger: my house, my fences, my alarms are all set at the atomic level. Yet, […]

Predators and Prey – Excerpt from You Don’t Belong Here
Whenever a light had been shined on me in the past it had never been a good thing. All of the wrong people seemed to be the only ones to ever pay attention to me. Even now, I still feel anxious around strangers and acquaintances. I still deal with that hypervigilance that comes from suffering […]

The Scream Heard Round the Cuilverse
Have you ever wished a story or movie character was real? Even if they had unnatural powers and maybe weren’t even…human? Don’t you wish they’d adore you forever? Well, in my case that came true. At first it was not fun. At all. See, I’m a writer. I started writing when I was 12 years […]

What is Cuil Fiction or the Cuilverse, Anyway?
What Exactly is Cuil Fiction? The name of integrated works that stem from The Black Tree series is called The Cuil Effect. Why?

What’s going on in the world? I awoke straight into pain today, enough to wreck my original plans for the day, all because of dumb ass regulations and unhelpful pharmacists. I can bear it; I’ve been through it before. But then to discover 50 people were killed in Orlando, where a very dear friend of […]
