My name is Constantia "Connie" Munda, and I am a multi-talented author, illustrator, and retired Child Protection Services officer. As a single mother of two children and a military officer veteran, I bring a unique perspective to my writing and drawing.

Drawing inspiration from the original intent of Mother's Day by Anna Jarvis in 1906 as an anti-war holiday, my novel "Mothers Day in the Empire State, Or, An Answer to the Arraignment of Women," challenges the sentimentalized view of motherhood propagated by modern society.

Nicely designed as an easy read. Large margins, large print, with lots of space / rests for the reader.

The prose is light-hearted,safe, and doesn't go deep on anything.

Good advice for meditating on out-of-body experiences or near-death experiences.

I was looking for more prose on Nietzche's "Artist Tyrant" theory, but I couldn't find it here. Book is large (648 pages) and was post homously published. I thought "Artist Tyrant" stems from his Ubermensch (Superman) theory, but maybe I'm wrong.
