Dear reader,We all love to escape into a world where good wins, justice prevails, and heroes discover the strength and beauty within themselves. Stories like that send us back into the real world with greater faith in the good around us, greater courage to stand up for justice, and greater awareness of our own inner strength and beauty. I’ve been escaping into worlds like that all my life, and since I was old enough to write, I’ve been trying to create that kind of story. A reader’s time and energy are priceless gifts. I hope my books give back.You have my gratitude,Vela
