InfoChange India has published another of my articles. This one, titled Children as Chattel, is about child trafficking and child slavery.
You can read the article here.
Currently I am in Prague at a writing program and nonfiction manuscript workshop, revising and editing the Weight of Silence manuscript. The workshop is incredible, the professors and other writers smart and gifted, and I expect big things from the month-long program.
Thank you for your support!

About sseale66
I'm Shelley, a journeyer and learner of the world, freelance journalist and author, yoga chick and dog lover. I pound the keyboard from home barefoot every day, and while my boss is demanding she also occasionally lets me have the early afternoon cocktail. I think not going into an office or collecting corporate paychecks are very good ideas, though not always profitable. I have written for National Geographic, USA Today, Globe Pequot Press, Andrew Harper Traveler and CNN, among others. Neither the New York Times nor Johnny Depp have answered my letters yet.
I love yoga, wine, and books, though not necessarily in that order. I believe in karma. Mean people suck. If I could have any dream job I would like to be a superhero. I don't know how to whistle. I was once robbed by a monkey in Nepal.
My mantra is "travel with a purpose."
