22 years ago today Babette: The Many Lives, Two Deaths and Double Kidnapping of Dr. Ellsworth passed away spectacularly in front of forty students on her Mt. St. Hellens tour. Commemorating her unique and complicated life, I’m releasing the story of our adventures together for free in podcast form. If you enjoy the book, feel free to contribute a few bucks via PayPal or Venmo but I also appreciate shares on the socials or brief reviews. Thanks so much to everyone who helped make this all happen, it really means a lot!

I’m excited to announce that my book, originally published in 2014 by Heliocentric Press (thanks Cricket) and out of print since 2015 is finally available as an audiobook. If you read the original, which won 1st place for Trans Non-Fiction from the Rainbow Awards, this edition contains many new elements, from sensational information collected on research trips through Southern France (thanks Eric Smiley) and Ireland, plus additional editing by Kate Savage, original intro music composed by David Coniglio, original outro music composed by am denizen and a new cover design by Teija Lammi. I narrated the improved manuscript myself over the last 1.5 years during fleeting moments after the children went to bed and edited the sound files to an extremely high quality. The link is for Google play but you can also currently find it on Kobo, Libro.fm, hoopla and through other services hopefully soon.

Note of caution: This book is highly explicit and disturbing at times, containing many graphic themes plus significant adult language. It is rated “E” or 18+ on hosting services and listener discretion is advised.

Sometimes I can get a decent quote through to NPR...

Oregon's Measure 114 gives county sheriffs and police chiefs discretion to determine who qualifies to purchase a firearm. Opponents say the criteria to make those decisions is ambiguous.
