Null Paradox
We’re excited to announce that we’ve published both an excerpt and full chapter from our book “Gertrude and Grace.” Excited because we get to share it with you! And excited because we see the light at the end of the tunnel of writing and editing our book. Here’s the very first few sentences from…
For the first time, the written story of Gertrude & Grace has been translated into visual art. Ana Cruz has completed her work on the cover for our book’s limited edition hard copy.
Editing of Gertrude & Grace is picking up steam! T. Libertiny & R. Koontz are editing. Secret friends are checking out a chapter.
