Brief Author Bio: I'm a copy editor by occupation, so you won't find too many punctuation errors. Backspacing to make corrections holds up the word count, however, so there may be a few. An aspiring artist in my spare time, I love the paintbrush and carving my own stamps and inking up the art journal pages I try to do daily. |

Perhaps a life is redeemed? Perhaps someone ends up with something they have always wanted? Perhaps someone comes up short?
