Produktbeschreibung

The revolution is over. Together with Draz and Monarch, Kea now commands the ship that has always been her home. But Kea is young, socially challenged, and terrified of becoming the monster who ruled before her.

Then, in the midst of struggle, she discovers the diary of an enigmatic writer named Mara... revealing a secret world of friendships and fairy tales, a homemade resistance parallel to their own.

But while Kea and Draz unravel the question of who Mara is, and what became of the rebel group called the Fish Pond... their own voyage comes to a sudden end. Now they find themselves in a world both human and alien, caught in an otherworldly conflict between two colonies far beyond their own. And the writer of that diary may hold the key to all their futures...

Autorenporträt

I am an autistic author, artist and speaker. I give speeches to schools and support groups, telling the story of how I grew up as an alien on earth.

I was diagnosed with various neurological disorders around the age of 11, but labels aren't everything to me. We are all individuals, and a diagnosis is just one of humanity's flawed but natural attempts to arrange the world into categories that seem neat and orderly. It's language, and as much as I love language, it is not a perfect way of describing reality. There is no perfect way. No word's definition is universally agreed upon. No written definition can perfectly encompass the idea expressed by a word. And some ideas can't even be expressed by words in the first place.

What I am can be described partially by the words "Autism," "Asperger Syndrome," and "Tourette Syndrome," with their definitions as printed in the 1992 edition of the DSM-IV, as they were interpreted by my childhood psychiatrist... but really, individual people all have their own unique mental conditions. Mine works for me right now, with or without labels. I see no need to change.
