Feeling Stressed?

---

I work at the Jackson School of International Studies as a Program Coordinator
for the International Studies Program.

Here is an "unordered list"
of some of my (not work-related) writing:

• Book now available: Mapping Charlie (a novel).
  

  The murder of a man she didn't even know changed the landscape of Kay's life. For the police and the murder victim's partner, it was the neurological landscape of Kay's mind that proved a challenge. Seattle provides the backdrop for this story of two people working together despite their differences, finding the way to solve the mystery and live with Charlie's death.
  Available at lulu.com (as paperback or pdf download) and Amazon.com

Bears:
I've put up a group of pages showing some of the bears I've made. All the bears are sewn entirely by hand and, except where specifically noted, are made from patterns I created myself. Almost all are fully jointed (usually with cotterpin joints). The pictures may be slow to load, depending on your connection. Click here for the newest photos (updated January 6, 2009). Behind that page of newest bears are other bear pages, which you can reach by clicking the link at the bottom of each bear page. For a special treat, I've created a Bear Comparison page showing what different bears can result from the very same patter. And there is a page showing two prize-winning bears from 2002.

Links:
Click here for some links to pages by people I've met online, along with
a few other places I enjoy visiting. (Newest change here, April 16, 2005.)

New (September 2005): NOTE: I strongly recommend that you click on this link when you have time to experience the site to which you will be taken. Don't start it and then stop after the first few (short) pages. Persevere. Let it take you through the whole story. You will find it is time well spent.

Updated June 26, 2005: Should government-funded autism organizations be allowed to exclude and silence autistics? I've made a special page of links that take you to the arena in which this issue is being addressed, thanks to the efforsts of Michelle Dawson (and with the help of Jypsy who sent me most of the links).

Books:
Not out of time yet? Okay, here is a link to a short list of books I recomend.
