My latest, for @slate.com. "...the earlier round of the submissive-woman-as-influencer experiment ran long enough ago—hawked on tape, book, and DVD—that the women involved are now in their 40s or older. Some are becoming the loudest voices warning against the movement." slate.com/life/2026/10...

If you've read DAMNED IF SHE DOES, could you please leave a review on Amazon (plus Goodreads if you have the energy)? I've been linking to Bookshop to promote the book, but a lot of people get their books via Amazon. This book needs the benefit of reader recommendations there too. Thank you ALL!

"He said that I’m disrespecting Jesus. You want to know what actually disrespects Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare to give tax cuts to billionaires. Bombing innocent schoolchildren in Iran, and sending our brave men and women off to die in another forever war." PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE!

*I* appear very little in Damned If She Does, but I thought I owed it to readers to introduce myself and explain why women quitting church has fascinated me for years. If you want a sneak peek, please see this excerpt, shared today by @therevealer.bsky.social. therevealer.org/why-i-quit-c...
