#OneVoiceBuddies & News

Hi everyone

#ONEVOICEBUDDIES

When I escaped I had an army of professionals all helping me, guiding me and making sure I was strong enough to go to trial.  I spent the next few months practically locked away, afraid to leave my house and even though I had the anti molestation order and he was on bail I was still petrified.  I spent a lot of time on Facebook, speaking to women I had never met, searching for a buddy, someone to listen and talk to, they didn't know me and so I could literally unburden everything.

What a week! #OneVoice

Hi everyone

Well last week I began the journey with #OneVoice in Newcastle and my wonderful PR man Keith Newman from Highlights PR and this week, well what can I say except EPIC!

On Tuesday a very excited me packed up my car and headed to Scotland to meet with the Commander of North Dundee and his team after I was invited up.  The Commander, Conrad Trickett initially made contact with me on Twitter a couple of months ago and so although very nervous I was ready to learn and eager to educate myself in Scottish Law.

Goodreads update

Hi everyone

I promised to protect #OneVoice and I will and have been doing.

I received an email and then a response to a tweet tonight where I asked for clarification of cyberterrorism, I will explain:

Cyberterrorism can also be defined as the international use of computer networks and PUBLIC internet to cause destruction and harm for personal objectives.  Objectives may be political or ideological since this is a form of terrorism.

Now the group of INTERNATIONAL Goodreads/Amazon bullies/trolls have harassed and stalked me without mercy, they have attacked #OneVoice and #OneVoice victims and survivors and used an international use of computer networks - some are in America, one in Australia that I know of and one here in the UK, and they have used the networks Amazon and Goodreads to cause destruction and harm for their own personal objectives - i.

Goodreads latest

Hi everyone

Well I wondered how long it would take and yet again both Goodreads and the bullies have shown they side together, here is the latest email from Goodreads with FALSE claims yet again, they really are not getting this......

Hello Eve,
We've noticed you created a new Goodreads profile despite your recent ban from the site. Unfortunately, you continued to not respect the other Goodreads members.  You submitted "Fifty Shades of Abuse" as a book to read in a group discussion forum that a) had expressly said at the top of the discussion topic:  "Authors, please do not nominate your own books" and b) was asking only for books with a significant portion of the story/content situated in a particular geographic location (a guideline which your book did not meet).

#OneVoice Fifty Shades Of Abuse

Hi everyone

I was so excited yesterday when the delivery man knocked on my door with a brown package for me, yes I had the very first #OneVoice book in my hands, Fifty Shades Of Abuse was actually here!

I've worked so hard to get it ready and published and I promised I would NEVER allow the fifty voices to be silenced ever again.

When I first began my exciting journey I came across a site called Goodreads and with 14 million users worldwide and a speciality site for book lovers and authors I thought yes this is the right place to come to raise awareness, I was wrong, very wrong and what followed was an appalling serious of events that left me feeling like a victim once again.

#OneVoice

Hi everyone

I am so proud to release the cover for the very first #OneVoice book Fifty Shades Of Abuse.

The book cover for the very first #OneVoice book, Fifty Shades Of Abuse.  A collection of fifty true stories from around the world.
The release date is to follow very soon.

On Monday night, just as I was trying to fall asleep, an idea sprang into my mind.  Years ago I implemented and managed a befriending scheme for the elderly where I paired volunteers with clients and they visited on a voluntary basis to provide a little company.  As my head hit the pillow I could not switch my tired brain off as I worried about all the lonely people out there, victims, survivors, ordinary folk who needed to reach out and share their pain.

The Samaritans

Hi everyone

What a fantastic start to the week, the weather has been glorious!

On 5th May I came across a tweet, a list of worldwide contact telephone numbers for suicide helplines, I retweeted and was amazed when someone responded informing me that the UK line which is for The Samaritans is a premium rate number!  This simple isn't good enough and so I have done a little bit of investigating with the help of two tweeters @mikeywomble and @OCarroll54.  

BT made 2.4bn profit in 2012 and I am currently looking into this some more, surely they could spare a million or two to fund a FREE helpline for The Samaritans?

William Roache & historical sex abuse cases

Hi everyone

Where do I start?

A few weeks ago I was watching Sky News when William Roache's face appeared, what followed left me sick to my stomach.

Victim blaming is wrong, very wrong and I was angry at this man's ignorance.  I watched the interview over and over again, his body language, eye contact etc and when I went to bed that night I knew that it was only a matter of time before yet another victim came forward.

As a survivor you develop a 6th sense and my senses were on high alert and so I wrote a personal invitation to Mr Roache offering him the hand of friendship and also the opportunity to educate himself, he never replied.

#OneVoice

Hi everyone

I hope you are all having a relaxing Sunday.  

NEW IDEA FOR #ONEVOICE that I would love to share with you.

Some time ago I was watching a programme on TV about sex chatline operators and was intrigued to find out more.  I embarked on some research and found out that the operators work from home after logging into a central system.  This gave me an idea and so I researched some more.............

#OneVoice Survivors Chatline - a free call service that connects victims with survivors, a network of women and men that would log on whenever they have some spare time and take calls/emails, an additional service to the many other wonderful ones out there but a network of professional survivors who's only wish is to help others.
