There will soon be news on how to order a physical copy of the book which will include the novel as it is (with a little more polish from our copy editor) with all of the illustrations you have seen here, PLUS- Original concept art by J Allison Baird when the novel was to be in comic format- Early versions of character art and images by Suzanne Shifflett- A whole new foreword- and more extra little bits to show how the book came to be. Keep an eye out for our announcement later this year. AND... number two: well the story doesn't really end there. Suzanne Shifflett and I had such a wonderful time with Where It All Started, that we just couldn't quite leave these characters all behind. We are currently working on another novel, this time focusing on Caroline and her life before and after the events of Where It All Started. Hosted on Acast.
