I published this trauma-healing primer, inspired by Mary Trump’s book The Reckoning: Our Nation’s Trauma and Finding a Way to Heal.

In my experience a lot of traumatized people do not really understand that they’re traumatized or, if they do, that it is a physiological condition.

This is a 9,000-word primer on recognizing your own trauma, along with some resources. It is available on Kindle and BN Nook for 99 cents, but I really want to give it away. My hope is that anybody who is suffering chronic bouts of fear/fury (two sides of the same coin), anxiety, depression, or numbness will find it.

I am absolutely thrilled to have my article "Tulsa 1921: The Trauma Continues" in the inaugural issue of Mukoli: The Magazine for Peace. To quote their opening statement:

Mukoli in the Axamiya (Assamese) language can variously mean open space, openness, & opening up.

Mukoli: The Magazine for Peace is a multimedia space for creative writers & artists whose engagements open up pathways to transforming conflicts, cultivating cultures & structures of peace, & promoting the healing & wellbeing of the planet & its people.

This is a lovely photo of me and Mom. In many ways it is a lie. (Read the article.) Let's all be brave enough to tell the truth and make peace.
