Hola from Humboldt!

Mama of 2 boys who were returned to Germany with abusive father by Californian court. Am prolific and seeking to self publish this year. Have lived overseas for the past 4 years (Spain and Germany), and fled back to my home in CA to escape rapist abuser father of my children. ICK!!! Am hoping for prosperity and justice to take place this year. Am battling PTSD and winning. Count my blessings though the path of life can be hard to understand. Cry tears at night, wail at the stars in longing for my offspring. Have always been their primary caretaker while philandering spouse paved his way. Am baffled by backlash directed at mothers by the courts. Was told not to seek sole custody because it was never granted these days. Also want to start zine, seeking submissions: MWTC (mother's without their children).

Am an avid endurance rider (Arabs), gardener, reader, WRITER, jewelry maker, Yorkie raiser, cook, traveler, movie watcher, lover, and am amazed at sites like this. Have been published in hipmama and plan to advertise my upcoming books there.

thanks!

Hey Tenderfoot,

I appreciate the warm welcome. I think someone mentioned you as a self-publishing expert. Can you recommend a good service? I have been considering Cafe Press. Any words of wisdom would be great! It's only via sisterhood and writing I can cope. Pursuance of passions, every shape and form.

Ciao Bella.

trula is really our resident

trula is really our resident expert on self-publishing. i'm afraid i'm just a run-of-the-mill zinester. ;)

sisterhood & writing as a survival technique - i hear you on that one. xoxo
