I have epilepsy. It sucks. I've also been profoundly touched in my life by crime, first as a crime reporter, then working in law enforcement, and the most awful when someone from my own family was murdered.

I grew up always knowing I wanted to be a writer, but with today's climate, breaking into traditional publishing is harder than ever. Which is why I'm going the "indie author" route of electronic and self-publishing. More on that later.

Because I'm not "stuck" in one genre, I can write about what I want. And I want to write fiction and nonfiction. I'm passionate about victims' rights. I want to give people with epilepsy another place to turn. And I'm excited to be part of the indie author movement.

Here are some links to sites I have found useful, including epilepsy sites, crime victims help (like Parents of Murdered Children), and help with publishing your own book.

CRIME VICTIMS:
http://www.pomc.com/ This is for families who have lost a loved one to murder. A very good resource. I've spent a lot of time on this site myself.

EPILEPSY:
http://www.epilepsyfoundation.org/ This describes different types of seizures and offers help.

WRITING:
http://www.aprillhamilton.com Ms. Hamilton offers a wealth of information for indie writers/publishers on her site, as well as links to other sites.
