Elder Abuse comes in all forms and across all walks of life. Along with Elder Abuse comes Fraud, forgery and dismissal. Law Enforcment doesn't like to get involved. Lawyers don't like to get involved and there are more victims than just the one being abused. Join me as I talk about a new project that I have been working on that involves all of  the above. This project is close to my heart because the victim needs a voice - The victim has been treated as if she was not a victim by all of the above. Sadly, she was not the first victim to suffer at the hands of the abusers. The more I dig the worse it becomes. Greed, and narcissism and being a psychopath all come together to create a monster who preyed on the elderly, the helpless and the vunerable. This show will make chills run down your spine and make you sick to your stomach.

After years of writing and editing for other's, seeing my name on their mastheads, I took a break in 2012 to become my mother's caregiver. When she crossed over two years later, I thought I could step back into the same path I'd walked for much of my career. Life threw me a curve. In 2018, I joined other professionals to create PEACECORE, Inc. We do business at bUneke Magazine (be unique) and provide a free, educational publication that highlights people doing amazing things to make our world better. PEACECORE is an acronym. To discover what it means, please visit buneke.org and while you're there, check out the other products and services our charity offers. I still write and edit as a freelancer, as time permits. bUneke is my passion and if you want to be a part of the movement, we welcome you to join us!

Music Aritst Jason Norwood says it Best in his own Words:   My latest album under my own name.  The music here was culled from a "song-a-day" exercise with myself and a couple friends in Montreal. Angel on Fire A compilation of the "best stuff" from a project that goes back to 2000--oddly, no synthesizers,  all guitars etc.  angel on fire is probably my "mental illness" project, but it's evolved away from that.  Also, the stuff from "panic is : love" are from unreleased mixes I did while dealing from pandemic boredom.  Black Chairs My solo industrial stuff.  I wanted to go back to industrial in the late 70's/early 80's, where anything goes in an experimental, harsh kind of way.  Playing instruments in ways they're not supposed to be played.
