* Note from the author

Hey Gang,

I began planning this series almost twenty years ago, back when I had the most amazing ideas and a sloppy, juvenile writing craft. Throughout a meandering career path, I still couldn’t let go of the story. So, I went back and tweaked my process, all the time adding to the series and world-building. After querying and being rejected for the entirety of the Covid years, I moved across the globe to scrounge up some money to self-publish. This is my moonshot. Thanks for joining me on the journey, and just know you’ve always got a home in my world.
