This weekend, reality bit me in the behind. The road down which I walk is a lonely one, and I am alone.

I am the luckiest person in the world! I enjoy the freedom of being an indie author and publisher.

Welcome to my guest, Mia Darien, who reveals her lengthy fascination with the preternatural and the road that lead to her two novels. The dedication to “Cameron’s Law” thanks all of those who walked the long road to life that Adelheid took, and it has been a long road. Some authors have an idea and can type …
