    Summary

    Every good hero has his or her or their Tragic BackstoryTM.

    Your mom died? Hero.

    Your dad died and/or is not in the picture? Hero.

    Everyone you love is dead? Hero.

    Afterall, no good self respecting hero has a bedtime to adhere to. It is only right that an author kills off any prospective responsible guardian that could possibly be a good influence in their life (Don’t think I don’t see the mentor archetype waiting for its turn on the executioner’s block).

    My point is, all heroes have really depressing non-childhoods.

    Except me (because I’m not like other girls-).

    No, you see, my childhood was like any other normal “gifted” child with anxiety issues and imposter syndrome. Nothing huge. At least, it was. The first time around. The second time around… let’s just say I wasn’t expecting to become every monster’s favorite pin cushion or befriend the children of the embodiment of lightning. Is it too late for refunds?

    So strap in folks as I take you on a journey of daring do! Of monsters and mortals! Of poverty and riches! Of me trying not to die after already dying!
