When a dream to someday hold a book of my own in my hands starts to come true with a wild story idea in June 2016,

then becomes a solid outline in October 2016,

transforms into a rough NaNoWriMo draft in November 2016,

presents itself as a many month editing trial,

appears on Amazon Kindle, Play Books, iBooks, Kobo, Nook, and Goodreads in June 2017 (a year after the initial idea),

the first paperback copy gets lost in the mail for a while,

and then…

the dream is realized, I have to thank God. Without His provision, His blessing me with a brain, His opening of doors, and His gift of family and friends, this novel wouldn’t even have tried to happen.

And one small facet of the dream was especially realized. It’s an inch thick! It’s kinda goofy, but that means a lot to an author and it weighs a whole pound! Oh, and matte finish is the best.
