I wrote a little novel during the pandemic and finally got around to self-publishing it. It’s a medieval adventure/rebellion story, set on the south Mediterranean coast, with a few battles and a journey. There’s a free sample if you want to check it out! amazon.com/Shield-Brighter-T…
A Shield Brighter Than Fire

Dr. El-Sayed is a fighter for our American Constitution, he’s a fighter for our American Democracy, and he’s a fighter against the corrupt, lawless, and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. That’s why I’m in his corner 100%. Bruce Springsteen
