Anyone who has ever considered mid-life retraining, my latest novel is for you.
Following the pandemic and the sad passing of my mother, I really re-evaluated. I had a successful career in HR based on London and Surrey. But the visual art and novel writing I always enjoyed were very much hobbies...

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.
