About the Author
Since If I Am Missing or Dead was published in 2007 I've written a novel for teens that shows them the red flags of a budding abusive relationship. We're shopping for a publisher now. I also have had the opportunity to give hundreds of speeches and have met the most remarkable people doing the good work of helping people avoid and recover from emotional and physical abuse. It is a joy, as is the rest of my life. For people in the midst of high-drama relationships I want to say this: being free is wonderful. I wake up every morning at peace. It's hard to go from being in the midst of an abusive relationship to being truly free but it is absolutely worth it.
