We all watched Making a Murderer. Many of us had a visceral reaction to the head prosecutor Ken Kratz. Myself included. So back in December of 2015, over Christmas, I emailed him. And he emailed me back. Repeatedly. This is the true account of my email exchange with Ken Kratz, aka Making a Prosecutor.

A powerful Sorority that manipulates campus. A powerful family atop of it. Can they protect their legacy or be torn apart by their enemies.

Over the past 60 standards, travelling through space, I've made more than my fair share of stories. In my final years I've decided to publish the diaries I wrote from my adventures. Within these pages, I will confirm some stories and refute many others. Many of my tales have only ever been told by those who've only heard whispers of my name. Now it is my turn to tell the truth that has been so badly warped over time. Yes, I did turn to piracy; no, I did not beat the emperor of Sumii-6 in a hotdog eating contest (spoilers: he cheated); and many others.

My life is one long adventure, and I've got many stories to tell. I remember most of the big events and moments but some of the everyday snippets of life get lost in all the chaos. When I had my first child, I kept track of all his milestones and special moments, but with the arrival of baby#2, then a couple years later baby#3, time seems to have suddenly sped up and all the little moments seem to be getting lost in the everyday hustle of life. For years I have been thinking about writing down these moments, and I wish I had started sooner, but guess its better late than never! I'm writing this story mainly to remember all the everyday moments that may be forgotten years down the road and something for my kids to look back on when they grow up!

Hi y'all. Last year I quit my job, married a Canadian, and uprooted my entire life - old typewriters, vintage costumes and all - to Toronto. We called it our Canadian adventure and we're living in Apartment A, or as we call it, Apartment "Eh?" Collected here are some of my thoughts about the Great White North and I'll be updating regularly with new musings since I'm still adjusting to my newfound home. Follow me on Instagram @zoedinovi for my visual diary and tell me your own tales of 'innocents abroad' in the comments!
