First Article on Morning of Marc’s Stabbing
I just discovered some articles on Marc’s murder case that were too painful to read in the past, I simply couldn’t bring myself to read them. I have to write about him to make sure I don’t cover up the horror and grief. A child is important to a parent, you never want to forget…
Book Contract!
I was offered a book publishing contract last week, I’m very excited and sharing some details! Trilogy Publishing accepted my book concept after reading the first 3 chapters.

Portland, Free Speech & Antifa
My grassroots Twitter feed gives me an incredible array of topics to educate and encourage me. I find it important to review at times what we value, especially when national violence raises it’s ugly head. Last summer there were many tweets shared on how antifa in Portland, OR attacked journalist Andy Ngo! Two other men…
The Defendants, Aftermath & Youth
I was surprised the suspects in Marc’s case were so young! I wondered what happened in their lives to make them end up homeless, and hangout in downtown Portland that October night? I once ran away as a young child, as far as the front porch. I remember how sad and cold I felt in…
