JUSTICE FOR MAHSA AMINI.

 JUSTICE FOR MAHSA AMINI. 



Please share this knowledge around. 

I’ve always tried to use my platform for good and use my voice to not only give my readers a good book but one that reflects the cruel reality of our time and age. Today, I ask you to listen to this. Mahsa Amini was a 22-year-old Iranian woman who went back to Iran to visit. There, she wore her hijab out in public and respected the Iranian law even tho she disagreed with it. However, the moral police didn’t find her hijab to standards and they publicly beat her. After beating her publicly, they transported her and she died from that beating. However, the police stated she died from a heart attack despite never having heart issues nor having a family history of it. The Iran media stated she died “in police custody when she was arrested for “re-education” and “guidance” on proper Islamic attire.” And since then there has been many protests against the government and in these protests many are either getting beaten or killed. I am not Iranian, but I am a woman. This is not just an act against freedom, this is a direct attack against women and I’m tired of it. Mahsa was one of us, she was our sister and she was killed because of that. You don’t have to cut your hair, you don’t have to take to the streets to protest, there is no right way to mourn for our fallen sisters, all I ask is you share this. 

Speak out for those who cannot. 

We stand together and we won’t stop fighting until every single one of our sisters are safe.

The Three 'G' of Zombie Books (young adult writing tips)

Image
  A good young adult zombie book should have three genres:     I love a good zombie book. So much so I wrote one myself. So, I know when it comes to a good zombie book there must be a good balance of horror, slice of life and comedy. While zombie books deal with the world ending and, well, the rotting undead, it goes without saying that zombies are scary. Being turned into a vile, rotting and walking corpse is scary. A good zombie book is scary. It’s horror. It should have the reader both disturbed and scared. However, while dealing with this, part of the horror is the world building around it.     This is where the “slice of life” should come in. While the world of zombies is focused on such, it should keep in mind that life goes on. It simply goes on with a new enemy. A zombie apocalypse doesn’t change the cycle of life. Children who survive will still grow, will hit puberty, etc. People will still know happiness, and although they will know fear and...

THE ALMOST FORGOTTEN HESTER PULTER: INTRODUCTION

 Introduction:      As you all know, I'm in university and this term I've started taking a class on Hester Pulter. This is an incredible situation where not much is known about Pulter, as her manuscript was rediscovered in 1996. She was a poet living from 1605-1678 and she works are amazing. What's more, because her work has only been rediscovered in the past thirty years we have the amazing opportunity to be apart of the conversation. This is not a Shakespeare play where we get to explore for the millionth time, each of Pulter's poems are so fresh for the conversation that we get to help build this conversation.       So, as I do this in class, I will be using this blog to write down all my thoughts and notes as I personally read through her works and do my best from the stance as a writer and also as a university student to unpack this beautiful moment in time.      Please check out this link:  https://pulterproject.northwest...
