Good morning! I do other kinds of creative work too and so am posting with a copy of the front cover and an Amazon link as I am beyond thrilled as it took two years from start to finish and I am thrilled it is done. Thinking some of you might be interested in reading it too. The characters are fictional but everything else is researched to my research standards that you see here with the various posts. Thank you for following me! Sarah.
