First things first, I highly recommend the audiobook because the narrator is absolutely fantastic! He makes you feel like you are right in the gritty wild west! I was hooked right from the beginning. I mean, who doesn\u2019t like a villain named Nine-Fingered Nan?! She screws Van up bad\u2026real bad! Then the great doctor finds Van and gives him a (spoiler alert!!!!!) mechanical leg! I don\u2019t want to give any more real spoilers than this. He has been given a bad hand at life but his sister is what keeps him going. Most people don\u2019t understand this but he NEEDS to save his sister. His back story is a bit heart wrenching but while on his quest, he ends up on all these \u201cside quests\u201d and ends up helping Charlotte (who has her own problems that Van can\u2019t help but to help her), robbing banks, and sabotaging Nine-Fingered Nan\u2019s gang. While this isn\u2019t as much in the \u201cSci-Fi\u201d or \u201cSteampunk\u201d genre as I was expecting, the story still had me turning the audio on whenever I had an opportunity. I can\u2019t wait to see what happens next! To the author and narrator, BRAVO!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-25626\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/S\/amzn-author-media-prod\/nclv27pvuetld7n4acg74es7f9._SX300_CR0%2C0%2C300%2C300_.jpg\" alt=\"J.R. Frontera profile image\" width=\"202\" height=\"202\" \/><\/p>\n<p>J. R. Frontera has been telling stories in some form or another since she could hold a crayon and draw. Her love of science fiction and fantasy originated with her early exposure to the worlds of Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and Dune. Exploring the potential and pitfalls of humanity in future or fantastical worlds is a temptation she\u2019s just never been able to resist. She writes dark scifi, funny scifi, weird westerns, romantic fantasy, and pretty much every other genre in-between under the same name.<\/p>\n<p>She co-founded a local writing group known as The Wordwraiths and is co-owner of their publishing imprint Wordwraith Books. In January 2017, after noticing a lack of writing resources tailored to fit within the specific restraints of motherhood, she helped start the Writer Mom Life podcast alongside fellow author Daphne James Huff.<\/p>\n<p>She has been writing and learning the craft and business of writing for over twenty years, and fully embraced indie authordom in 2013. She has taken writing workshops with Stephen Mertz, Angela James of Carina Press, and the late Ann C. Crispin. She has short stories published in five anthologies, and her science fiction and fantasy shorts have placed in three out of four years in the Story in a Bag contest at the ConQuesT convention held in Kansas City, Missouri.<\/p>\n<p>When she\u2019s not writing, momming, podcasting, or working at her full-time day job, she\u2019s often horseback riding, playing videogames, or cosplaying. She lives in rural Missouri with her husband, son, four ducks, three cats, one horse and one dog. You can find out more about J. R.
