In times of conflict, fear, and uncertainty, what grounds us? What connects us to each other, the universe, and our own humanity?
In their new collection Lifelines , author Melanie Rose Huff and artist Traci Manley gracefully weave tightropes, roots, ribbons, and webs in a haunting exploration of hope.
One day in her childhood, Melanie Rose Huff told herself a story about the apple she was eating. It was a planet, inhabited by one tiny man-like creature who kept having to move house as his various residences were devoured by a giant alien. It was a tragedy, of course, ending in the planet's destruction, but the author has been telling herself stories ever since.
Melanie is the award-winning author of "Ashford" (BRAG Medallion, 2012) "Violet Shadows" (Next Generation Indie Book Awards, Novella Category Winner, 2013) "By Water and Blood" (Writers' Digest Self-Published Book Awards Honorable Mention, 2015) "A Phantasmagoria" and "An Amazing Alphabetic Anthology." She lives in Chewelah, Washington.
