5/28/2023 0 Comments Doubts by Sunhawk16What did it say about me that I’d struggled with just what to put in the dedication from the zone of my own comfort, that it had taken the box arriving at my door before I’d stopped to think… what if Heero objected? ‘To my husband, Heero Yuy, rescuer of strays, without whom Kemi and his friends would never have been’. No, it was the relatively simple inscription that was making my heart do weird things in my throat. I’d won that one… I’m not a writer and I don’t take credit for what I don’t do… so there would be a second name on this, my first (only?) children’s book. From predatory gleam in Aleyah’s eye when I’d first approached her, through all the copyright stuff, the proofing and the tweaking, and the arguments about ‘ghost writing’. I’d seen the thing birthed through all the standard steps. I mean, it’s not like I didn’t know what was sitting there on the coffee table in front of me. It was really not a very big box, to contain such a load of ‘omg, what have I done’.
