What the ladies in The Woman Who Made Me Feel Strange look like in my head

Posted March 28, 2018

Lane – Shaw from Person of Interest but slightly taller and less psychopathically expressionless.

Paul – Root from Person of Interest but shorter so she’s the same height as Lane and way less obvious when she’s in love.

Arden Villeneuve – Delphine from Orphan Black Season 3, minus the french accent / Charlize Theron.

What the ladies in Snow White and Her Queen look like in my head

Posted March 20, 2018

Queen Katherine – Greta Garbo / Angelina Jolie in Maleficent / Disney’s cartoon version minus the perpetually evil stare and crazy eyebrows.

Princess Eirwen – This was tough since who can we really say is, universally, the fairest of us all? In the end I used Megan Fox. Megan Fox but many, many, many, many shades fairer.

Why I wrote The Woman Who Made Me Feel Strange

Posted March 14, 2018

Three words: topical steroid withdrawal. If you don’t know what that is, I fully recommend you find out before you accidentally get yourself into it like I did. The Woman Who Made Me Feel Strange isn’t about the medical condition per se (it’s way more fun than that!) but it embodies everything I learned about the world and life while going through it. I don’t want to say too much (because I don’t want to give the book’s ending away) but in short, five months of escalating steroid cream usage landed me in hell for an entire year. Before, I didn’t think such a thing could happen but now I know it can and has happened to many other people as well (to those who are still battling tsw: Know that it really does get better!). When I made it out of hell, got my skin back to normal all by myself, I read up pharmaceutical drugs and my entire take on modern medicine changed. After that, I wrote The Woman Who Made Me Feel Strange.
