The book cover of Wolfbaby by Susan Holcomb. Shades of orange and a stripe of green form an inverted rainbow that covers the book.

Be Not Afraid

Now the key pieces of the puzzle fall into place. You have found an answer - an online group that explains it all. You feel stronger. You have the knowledge. You just need to have faith. Others are trapped in ignorance, but your people know what is going on.

Delighted to see this drop through my letterbox this morning. Some good news from the US of A at last. πŸ˜‰My piece "Be Not Afraid" is included within. @blinkink50.bsky.social
