Thank you! It's a long(er) story but it started more or less by accident and I discovered I really enjoyed the writing! Very different than anything I've done in my life.

Thanks! I think that may be a constant of our species. We invent such amazing things and our ability to use them responsibly and positively always seems to lag!

Thanks! The first-time author is also now learning to be a first-time illustrator, video editor and marketer! I will be generous and describe the results to date as "a work in progress."

Thanks! She's a warrior. I wish I could say I planned her that way but from the first pages, she started telling her story to me and I mostly just wrote it down. Before I did this I thought that was a cliche but that was my experience with all the characters.
