The Latest News
April 27, 2021
First draft of Breaking Free is complete! I am chomping at the bit to get this book out into the world, because it is, finally, timely. (Unfortunately, it will be a solid year before it's available). Breaking free of equality, the equality mindset, the obsession with something so artificial, with the principle of the binary that keeps it all running ... this is our future. This is the future of feminism.
Other good news: Audre THEE Lorde, my new kitten, in addition to confirming my recently realized Lesbian Cat Lady lifestyle, is simply adorable and the glue that has bonded the (now) quartet.
Her EKG results showed that the hole in her heart (between her two ventricles) is so tiny that she does not need treatment and can get spayed. With the results, it has felt pretty amazing to just enjoy her kittenhood, without always worrying that she is going to keel over at any moment from heart failure.
The coming months will bring editing of Breaking Free...but, also, my second book.
Time to return to Shakespeare? Perhaps in more ways than one....
