I began writing when I was twelve but, without much publication success (yes, I tried), I put away my pencils until graduate school when I began using academic writing as an outlet for thoughts on pedagogy and scholarly research. Although much of my writing has shifted dramatically to mind-body-spirit and children's/YA fiction, I still honor my academic roots.

Academic Apartheid: Waging the Adjunct War
Ed., Sylvia M. DeSantis, M.A.
Foreword by Dr. Robert W. Fuller
Now more than ever colleges and universities employ contract workers--adjuncts--to teach undergraduate courses. These part-time workers cobble together a living wage without benefits, fair pay, or simple resources like office space or a phone.
Academic apartheid is rampant in higher education; the contributors to this anthology live and work on the front lines of this trend, often without respect or resources, and in poverty. The ivory tower is not what it seems, especially for those living on its borders.
