After I had my daughter, I had post-partum depression and just getting out of bed to go to work when my leave was up took so much out of me... and doing that every day and battling through is winning for sure...

Amberley's blindness was a challenge- especially since she was legally blind and I couldn't go with just a complete blackout... but once I got past chapter three I really began to feel more at ease with describing the world as she experienced it.

I think neuroscience is one of the great frontiers of our time. The idea of the learning through stories and engaging the brain through story is one of the great confirmations of our time. We always knew stories were connected to the brain and heart, and now we know why and how. Congratulations on creating wonderful stories!

Dynamic heroes and heroines are a must. I fell in love with a new author recently. She's not new, but it was a new series for me. I realized on book four that she knew world building and characterization. Both dynamic points. Blind would definitely end the career. What a tough topic to tackle.
