A disclaimer:
This is my first novel.
I'm learning.
I'm open to feedback about this story and will take readers' suggestions into consideration as I review the first edition and prepare the paperback. This is an #ownvoice narrative in so far that I experienced infertility, have been a teacher, and have lived outside proverbial towers, but there are a lot of voices in this story. Neith is a mixture of races, like me and like my family, because the future Aotearoa I envision is like that, but that's simply my speculation, not judgement. I am not an expert on many things, so I value opinion which can help me make this a more sensitive and informed story. Feel free to drop me a line with your thoughts -- you may even find your way into an edition's acknowlegements as a result.
Thank you to everyone who has been following along and reading.
