The most positive of feedback

I have a friend. Her name is Fran. Fran is an artist and graphic designer.

When I was working on The Lauras, Fran threatened to read it.

And when it came out, she read it.

And apparently she liked it, because she made an art of Alex and Ma (that's a technical term).

And there was much rejoicing, because she drew Alex to look pretty much the way that Alex looks in my head.

And also because my book inspired fanart, and that is high praise indeed.
