I can’t tell you how many people comment that I’m lucky to have a job I love. It’s becoming a thing. I do have a job I love, but it isn’t by luck, it’s by design. I chose to be an author/editor/creative entrepreneur. I left a job with a pension to do this and that option is open to anyone. Most people don’t do it though, because being happy –
If you’ve never heard a prequel teaser before, don’t worry. I made it up. Defiant a prequel because it takes place just before book one begins.
