That Time: A Children's Book for Adults

For lack of a better name, this is a temporary title for writing related to my recovery from childhood sexual victimization and CPTSD. I claim to be writing a book with this material. Time will tell.

I’m a writer and visual artist living in Oakland, CA. This personal blog was created as a repository for excerpts from a work-in-progress memoir focusing on my recovery from childhood sexual abuse. But I am also posting some genral blog-type content, poetry, and experimental writing.
