Filling the Void
•$4 – 1/2 legal. 60 pgs.•
Amazing compilation zine put out by Cindy Crabb of Doris and her sister Katy about getting sober. Many interviews with all sorts of people from different walks of life tell their tales of sobriety and what worked or didn't work for them as well as what keeps them sober now.
Get Fit for the Pit #1
•$2 – 1/2 SIZE. 20 PGS.•
Get Fit for the Pit is a compilation zine that focuses on health and fitness from a punk/activist perspective. The first issue includes 7 stories and 1 comic about shaking off the shackles of the lack of importance placed on health and fitness in the punk scene and working with our bodies to become healthier. Some of the writers include: Ramsey from List zine, Maranda from Telegram Ma'am, Chris from Kissoff, Nicole (that's me!) from Introvert, Korinna from Roots of Hope as well as others. Topics range from Roller Derby to Running to Rugby and more! I feel it is really important to address issues of health and wellness as we age, especially coming from a background where we might not have taken as good care of ourselves as we should have. We can fix this! Also, I am looking for more contributions for upcoming issues so if you are interested please get in touch: getfitforthepit@gmail.com.

(Picture is not of zine, trying to find my scan of this one!)
This is a great split zine done between Matt and Ocean. This is a unique split due to the fact that Matt is currently incarcerated having met Ocean via a prisoner book program. He had written a delightful letter to the program which Ocean enjoyed so much that they became pals and thus a split zine ensued. Matt writes of a sick cellmate and how he basically became his caretaker, how he created a home in Folsom Prison, and his lack of parole plans. Ocean shares an amazing story of helping her employer attempt to recreate a Jackson Pollock painting, how she broke into her queer identity, and homesickness for NYC. Both zinesters share some books they have read recently as well.

Introvert #4
•$1.00•
Introvert #4 is the zine that I published in October 2005, coming back into zines after a six year long hiatus. Ten different short pieces throughout. The style is that sort of teetering between fiction and non twisting words in an enigmatic puzzle. Everything is based on a true story or at least a vivid daydream. Topics include an inspiring road trip, flings, first love, and dealing with being an introvert. This issue was once described as tasting like sourdough bread with really good peanut butter.
Introvert #5
•$1.00•
One of my more honest and raw zines that I have written. Introvert #5 strays from my usual enigmatic writing style. I put my insecurities and anxieties out there in this issue. I talk about body image, gender confusion and my irrational fears. Also a short piece on feeling alienated amongst the crowd I call community. Be mindful of your own mental health when reading, could be triggering.
Introvert #6
•$1.50•
This zine is dedicated to and about my nephew Ethan who passed away from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) in 2007. It took awhile for me to come to the point in which I could write about his death, but I felt it was something important. Introvert #6 deals with the past two years and how I have tried to figure out how to support my family through this tragedy and come to terms with my own feelings about it. I also speak about my future fears in having my own children. Included are also valuable resources for information on SIDS and SIDS organizations. Please read with caution, could be triggering.
