I was sexually abused by a Catholic priest as a child.
For decades, I carried that in silence. Through my career in law enforcement, through PTSD, through life. Now I’m telling the truth in a memoir called A Predator in the Pulpit. Because silence is what protects predators.
This campaign started as a way to finish one book. But thanks to your support, it has already become something more. With over $4,000 raised so far, I’ve been able to:
• Make real progress on the manuscript
• Grow as a writer and storyteller
• Begin shaping this into something that can truly reach people.
This is no longer just an idea. It’s real. And it’s moving forward.
But I’ve also realized something along the way. This isn’t just about my story. It’s about all the stories that are still buried. The ones people are afraid to tell. The ones that never get written. The ones that could help someone else survive.
My goal is still to finish and publish A Predator in the Pulpit. But now, I’m building toward something bigger:
A path for other survivors and victims to tell their stories too. A way for people, especially those who feel unheard, to:
• Learn how to write their story
• Get guidance through the process
• Publish it
• And eventually stand on their own voice
How Your Support Helps Your contributions go directly toward:
• Professional editing
• Publishing and distribution
• Marketing to reach survivors who need this message
• Building the foundation for a platform that helps others tell their stories Every dollar helps move this forward.
I’ve already come a long way, but I’ve hit a point where I can’t do this alone. Without additional support, this project slows down. With your help, it moves forward and grows into something that can help others too.
If this story resonates with you, even a little please consider donating or sharing. You’re not just supporting a book. You’re helping break a silence that’s lasted far too long.
