Kari wishes her moms a happy Mother's Day. She's sorry she can't visit because she's stuck in the middle of the Atlantic trying to stop a billionaire madman & an ice queen.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Here it goes... I lost my job due to the cuts to biomedical sciences a month ago. I've been alternating between bouts of depression and anger. Someone left a nice review of one of my books, and you would have thought someone handed me a check for $1000. Little things matter.

I only intended Project ORCA to stay on KU for one 90-day cycle, which means it has about one month left. I understand why some authors want to stay on KU & why some authors are moving off Kindle completely. This is the move that aligns best with my distribution goals. Please don't yell at me.
