Hello, Anna Richardson here. I just thought I'd leave you a quick voice note to tell you

about my new advice podcast. It can't just be me.

I'll be getting super honest about my own topsy-turvy life, as well as helping you solve

your life dilemmas with the support of some very special guests and experts. From Podimo

and Max created, it can't just be me, wherever you get your podcasts.

In part one of this series, I spoke directly with a victim of childhood abuse within the science

fiction community. Moira, the victim in question, her parents put her through direct physical,

mental and sexual abuse. I highly suggest listening to that first episode if you haven't.

Marion Zimmer Bradley, Moira's mother, now deceased, was a member of the SFWA.

That's important to note. The science fiction and fantasy writers association

founded in 1965 has not taken steps to condemn the actions of past members. Let alone

the present members that have committed actions awful enough to make up a minimum of three

episodes. This second part is going to have tunnel vision on an active member of the SFWA.

In fact, a grand master. But the next episode will take a scorched earth approach.

What's worth noting before we can continue is that the SFWA and their sycophants attempt

to discredit those that criticize them. That's why this is only stage two of a three-pronged offense.

One of the tools used to discredit is to treat their shady past as just that, the past.

So, listener, I need you to keep two things in mind as you listen to this episode.

Are you following? Okay, point one. If you've been around long enough,

you know that I am the victim of severe childhood sexual abuse.

Anything you can think of, I had afflicted upon me from between age four through 13.

That was before I acted on my own volition to save myself.
