Ava hummed as she arranged the signed copies of her young adult fantasy novel. Her book signing was today! After years of self-doubt and rejections, she was finally a published author. She grinned, imagining the eager faces of her readers.

She had always admired the brilliant mind of Seraphina Bloom, finding her writing style and character development incredibly influential.
