The woman who taught me how to write and most everything else in life.

My mom only recently read “Hollen the Soulless” and hasn’t yet read any of the other books in the series. That suited me just fine because I wanted to see the look on her face when she spotted the dedication for the first time. I wasn’t disappointed.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to catch the moment on camera. I decided to share it with you all (after getting her permission, of course). This is the sort of thing that writers dream about and are blessed to actually experience.

Note: The man at the end is my father.
