Every parent wants to leave something lasting for their children, something they can look back on fondly even when you have left this world. There is a growing feeling that the work I’m doing here, both with the Hatchlings and with my fiction, is for them. My precious Matilda and Willow. I’m creating something they can be proud of. Something to be enjoyed and shared with other children, parents, teachers and the deaf. Something that encapsulates my passions for writing, gaming, art, mythology, disability, childhood and parenthood. Something to express those passions to the younger generations. Something important to carry in this often dark world.
