Published author. I'm Kathy Fraser, and the novel I've written has just been released. This novel is my creative response to the Iraq War and the 2004 election, and it is "dedicated to the great powers of healing that are called by many names," written out of my concern for those directly impacted by war. My background is as a psychiatrist, but I have written this as much from my perspective as a person of faith and UU since 1994. I have a few book signings set up:

Professional  mediator. Anne Lightsey.
Most of us dread conflicts, so we tend to avoid certain people, conversations, and situations. When avoiding no longer seems like your best option, you might be ready for mediation. Mediation is a voluntary and confidential way for people to meet, discuss their concerns, and make decisions together, with the assistance of an impartial mediator. As a professional mediator, I do not advise, decide, or direct outcomes; I assist and support people in conflict as they work toward their own resolution. I have been a certified mediator since 1991.
