Patricia G. Barnes of Reno, NV, is an attorney, tribal court judge and author who writes a legal blog on WordPress. The blog, When the Abuser Goes to Work focuses on workplace discrimination, bullying and abuse. The blog sells Pat’s eBook, Surviving Bullies, Queen Bees & Psychopaths in the Workplace (May 2012). The blog gives Pat a platform in the national debate about protecting workers from workplace bullying. (The United States lags behind Europe and most other industrialized countries that already have adopted laws or regulations addressing workplace bullying.) Pat was recently quoted in Bloomberg Businessweek on workplace bullying. Finally, bullied workers and human resources professionals from around the country contact Pat through the blog to consult about workplace bullying problems.
Pat believes her experience demonstrates the tremendous potential of WordPress to influence social change…and sell books. Pat wrote two earlier books that are held in libraries around the world for CQ (Congressional Quarterly) Press on the American criminal justice and court systems.
