I just posted the other day, but now I must announce that an excerpt of my book is up on Tony Ortega’s Underground Bunker today. I consider this a pretty big deal. I visit his site quite frequently, as he is always on top of the very-most breaking news regarding Scientology. Tony is the former editor of the Village Voice, and is an excellent journalist. He’s had a critical focus on Scientology since 1995–when he published a book about Paulette Cooper. Cooper is known as being the target of one of Scientology’s biggest terror campaigns in the 1970s and 80s. The goal was to utterly ruin her mentally, jail, or kill her for writing a critical article, then a book about how badly they’d been harassing her and critics of the cult. It was a six-year operation and lawsuits went on for decades. Eventually, Scientology offices were raided by the FBI, but I digress…

Hurry Up and Wait
This is the crux of my anxiety. I’ve been hurrying up and waiting for too long. It’s been putting me into such a lousy mental state, it ain’t no bag of clowns. I wanted to title this entry, Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Which would better capture how I really feel. Because, while the world passes me by, I’m left here, sitting on my hands looking like a coward, and perhaps I am. Or, at least I have been until now. What do I mean by that? Well, brace yourself, because this is the bomb before the book.
