Ever wonder how an audiobook actually gets made?

This is the unglamorous, deeply satisfying part—turning a room into a soundproof studio, one panel at a time. 🎧🛠️

Soon, Straight to Hell won’t just be read…
you’ll hear it exactly as it was meant to be told.

Been saying this for years. Now a new study confirms it…again. Therapy rewires thought patterns and processes underlying wounds. Medication adjusts neurochemistry. Exercise resets the nervous system.

New research shows exercise is as effective as medication at reducing symptoms of depression. And you don't need to run a marathon to see benefits. So how much is enough?

I went quiet for a few weeks—for good reasons.

Time with family. Some rest. And a lot happening behind the scenes.

Straight to Hell became a #1 bestseller on Amazon. And that’s because of you. Thank you for reading, sharing, and showing up.

Now I’m stepping into what’s next: building the audiobook and podcast and getting ready to record.

You’re about to hear this story differently.

Grateful for 2025. Excited for what’s coming.

More soon. 🎧🔥

When a reviewer drops a Frank McCourt comparison, you don’t walk—you ascend.

Screenshot taken. Chest clutched. “Cher, take me now.”

Thank you, Kathryn. I’m undone. 🙏🔥

If you’ve ever felt torn between who you are and who you were told to be, this one’s for you.

This is the heart of my memoir, Straight to Hell.

Faith should never demand the death of your truth.

I lived that battle for decades. Maybe you did too.

When my daughter, Johna, was eleven, she recorded this song for me on a cassette the day I was cast out. I wrote about that moment on page 179.

Last weekend—twenty-six years later—she sang it again at my book launch that celebrated my (and our) survival.

A few days later, I captured a cleaner recording at home—something to hold onto for the years ahead.
