Profile Information

My hometown:
I live in Western Washington, in the woods near a swamp where it is usually peaceful and serene.
My books:
"Mother's Journals: parts 1, 2 & 3" is my first novel. It covers 3 generations of women in one family. Margery dies, leaving her journals to her only daughter, Mary. Mary learns of the many trials and hardships her mother had endured and secrets that no one spoke of during her lifetime. Mary's neice, Ellen has trials of her own, and torrid love affairs. This book may prompt a few cold showers, and is intended for a mature audience only due to some graphic content.

This was written to illustrate the difference between both the good and the bad relationships, as well as how women of another generation dealt with trials of abuse, rape and family problems.

Most of the experiences I have written about have happened to me, to others I have known and many I now know.

Some people do not understand what abuse is, and this was my way of offering a little education while providing entertainment.

I have also been blogging on my website: http://www.freewebs.com/zadaconnaway/ in an effort to stop at least a little of the abuse that exists in this world, and promote safe behavior--especially for women. Children are of course a prime concern as well.

Keeping women and vulnerable adults safe

It is very good to be aware of where our children are and what they are doing; but what about women and other vulnerable adults staying safe as well? As adults, we are the only ones who can tell ourselves what we can do to stay safe. Here are a couple of pointers:

Don’t park in an area that will be dark and shielded from view, especially if you know it will be after nightfall when you go to retrieve your car. Use valet parking when it is available.

Always be aware of your surroundings, and thi… Continue

Happiness Is optional

If one wishes to be happy, they must remember that happiness is not having what you want, but rather, wanting what you have.
It is also a choice that one makes. We can live in the misery with painful memories of the past. Or we can choose to let go of the pain and start fresh. The experiences we have had can become tools we use to have empathy for others. When we have been in the same painful spot as another individual, we can ease their burden by sharing our own trials.

Sometimes our own exper… Continue

Why Blog about Abuse??

Why?
It has been asked: Why write about such a dark and painful subject in my blog?

I had to think long and hard to come up with an adequate answer.

It is my hope to open a dialogue for those who have their own abuse issues hidden away like dirty little secrets. For myself, I was lucky enough to find others who had suffered what I endured. As a sort of group therapy we discussed our feelings and were able to heal in this manner. We discovered within our little group that we were not unique, no… Continue

Teaching the children

I hope all parents are teaching their children to enjoy reading. Writers of children's books are doing a great job of getting the attention of the young. They have my deepest admiration. children who read today will become the avid readers of tomorrow.

By reading good literature, children will broaden their knowledge base and their horizons. It is the stuff dreams are made of and built on. The libraries have their children's sections and many offer story times. I wonder how many parents are abl… Continue
