Life after Game of Mass Destruction
I've written quite a lot of stuff about my novel Game of Mass Destruction already but I wanted to talk about some new things among other things that didn't really fit into other articles I have written about my own novel. In my last post on Vocal, I said that I had sent copies of my book to fan mail addresses to a few celebrities that I really admired for their work.

Introducing Myself
I am Little Feather, 16th Great Grand Daughter of Elder White Feather of the VA Iroquois Nation and 14th Great Grand Niece of Dragging Canoe of Western Cherokee Nation. I am Married, no children of my own and for good reason. I am Mom to one Cat Duke and two Dogs, Bandit and Billy. I dream of one day opening a small store of my own and to live simply. I was born in Santa Monica, CA and I am 41 years of age. I don’t own anything except what few physical possessions I am left with and the knowledge that I wish to impart in this Book. I am Pedigreed to 16+ Generations of Family Lineage. As a child, I began to have experiences that I didn’t understand at the time and after a serious injury and illness, I believe that something was left open and never closed again. As I got older, the experiences intensified. Early in life, I had discovered my family’s rich history of Native American Heritage and links to Metaphysical Abilities. There is a long line of Mystics, Psychics, Healers, Shamans and Church Clergy. It seems that the Abilities of which I had closed off and shut down, have come open to a smaller extent, got passed to me from my earliest predecessors. I have also at present time, discovered the name of my Guide. His Name is David. Welcome to my crazy, Psychic, messed up life. I also inherited cell memory from lifetimes past and I know some things without knowing how it got there. I am allergic to Makeup so I rarely wear it. I prefer to be natural. Expect under eye Concealer and Lip Gloss if you meet me. I will explain more in this Book. I don’t claim to be anything special or extraordinary. I am simply me.

Jax In A Box
So, I run a shop on Facebook that is basically a dud. I'm trying my best. I've only sold one thing. It was a knit hat and I sold it to my uncle. I'm pretty sure he only bought it because he loves me. It was the best $10 I ever put towards a pack of cigarettes that I ever made and spent. I hope I can do it again. Seriously now, though... Let's talk about this for a minute.

How I Feel After Publishing My 10th Book
I’ve been a writer for as long as I remember. Whether it was a couple of poems or the plethora of fanfics, articles and reviews and books that I’ve written over the years or messages to friends and family, I’ve always had that creator’s but. At the moment content is king and I’ve learned to go with the times. I’m not sure if i’m a planner or a pantser. I think I’m a little bit of both.

Little Men with Big Egos
Kronos is a workforce management software company. My nickname for my nemesis manager was Kronos but my insufferable editor insists that KRONOS is a better pseudonym for the company. My nemesis will be hence forth known as Napoleon, i.e. Napoleon syndrome/little man and all that jazz. Likewise, my choice of Jezebel as the name for the supervisor doesn’t agree with her low brow popular culture sensibilities. Everyone knows what Jezebel means but she is digging her heels in on David Brent being a better name. She says anyone who hasn’t watched the office and doesn’t know that David is short-hand for intolerable, incompetent, un-self-aware, and self-important, isn’t the type of person you want reading your biography. A bit hypocritical of her expecting people to understand her references while calling me a snobby exclusionist for mine but we will ignore that because what is life without occasional un-fair contradictions?
