There comes a time when you have to use your voice
I'm gonna get real and raw here for a minute.
This is a personal post - extremely personal. But i had to share this story with you because it might save others and encourage you to use your voice too.
As an author, I am technically a public figure. Although, you have to be aware of what you post and how it makes you look - your reputation. You have a platform, a public platform to share your voice with your followers / subscribers / readers. But there comes a time when you are given a chance to use that platform for good.
I hope that by sharing my story, what happened to me this week, that it will not only be cathartic for me, but I'm hoping my help those in a similar situation.
On Tuesday night I received some really inappropriate messages from a now former employer. Someone in a position of authority.
Those messages shook me, rattled me to the core.
Now, i have had similar words thrown at me before on the bus by drunk men.
This was different.
This was by someone i was supposed to trust.
You have no idea how broken and hurt and betrayed I felt. And also gross and angry too.
On Wednesday I pulled myself out of bed and walked down to the beach with Heidi my dog. I then found myself walking towards the police station.
Now, some of you will know that I've suffered recently with mental illness - depression, anxiety as well as an intellectual disability. As if life wasn't hard enough!
Anyway, Heidi and I went to the police station and asked to talk to a female police officer. In these delicate, personal times a woman just needs to talk to another woman.
So, I did.
The police woman was amazing. she was supportive and really listened to me.
Then she gave Heidi and I a ride home in her police car. My pup loved that. and all the attention from the officers haha.
Now i can't tell you how much I appreciate police now. They are angels.
She even asked me how i was doing mentally when she found out my medical history. I said i have been doing good, until Tuesday.
Part of the reason for sharing my story, as i mentioned above, is not only to get it off my chest, as a form of therapy for me, but because i hope, in that sharing my personal, raw, vulnerable moment, that i will encourage others to speak up.
Sexual harassment is a very real, very scary situation to go through. and most times it is those whom we put our trust in the most doing it.
Now, i have since quit this job and am taking it one day at a time. I'm lucky i have my friends and family and my other job. Everyone has been so so supportive.
I am still dealing with the repercussions of this event. But i will not keep quiet. I will NOT be compliant. I will not sweep this under the rug.
If you experience sexual harassment or abuse or any kind, please don't stay quiet. Speak up. Use the voice you were given.

Treacherous is back!
Hey guys,
I have some exciting news for you!
Treacherous, the little romance book I wrote about six or so years ago is back! It has been re-edited and republished. Same story, same characters, it's just had a bit of a facelift and makeover.
You can grab your copy here!
It should be free on all digital stores, but i am just waiting on Amazon to price match. They like to take their time.
There's something you can do to speed up the process, though. Just click the link to Treacherous's amazon store, scroll down until you see the link 'tell me about a lower price'. Post a link from one of the other stores and type in 0.00 and hit the button. Easy! The more people who tell Amazon to make the book free, the faster it will happen.
Book 2, Torturous will be out real soon - as soon as i receive the edits back from my editor and then send it back for her to polish it up, I will then publish it.
Thank you for your support and happy reading x
