Over the past 30 years, I've been in a series of little known but influential bands that championed alternative feminism as well as queer and minority rights. I created and still maintain a non-commercial web archive documenting the role of women in the early LA punk scene through an ongoing series of unedited interviews, a sort of oral history of the early Los Angeles punk scene as told by the female participants. I maintain an open dialogue around social issues on my blog, Diary of a Bad Housewife. Most recently, I authored a memoir by posting chronological stories on a daily basis to one of my blogs, interacting with my readers along the way. In effect, the entire book was written in full view of the public. What started out as a series of autobiographical blog entries ended up telling a much bigger story. The result is my first book, Violence Girl, published by Feral House in Fall 2011.
