The Early Years (Just Another Day, #1)

Shanku has left her nest behind to explore the wide world around her. Out of her small forest home she finds more of her own kind and new friends. Love, loss, and adventure await her as she discovers the secrets her clan struggled to hide. But at what cost?
Banished for ten years due to wanderlust and her neverending curiosity, Shanku travels through the dense forest, rolling plains, high seas, towering mountains, and frozen tundra, meeting grumpy dwarves and singing dragons as she learns about her peoples' history and origins, and perhaps a bit about the other creatures of the world.
Based on the webcomic turned illustrated novel "Just Another Day", it is a simple fantasy and adventure story following Shanku's exile.

I don't expect fame, fortune, reviews, or attention. I just like to write. If you enjoy my work, you're welcome to read it. If you don't enjoy it, just move on to something else you do like.
