Lights, Camera, …What?!? Book 1 Chapters 20 and 21 by Sofia Hammerstein

Connor Slane has grown up to be one of the brightest kids in his dimension and one of the most ambitious computer science majors at his top university. Now, thanks to an exchange program between his university and his mother’s alma mater, Emerson University in another dimension. Connor has the chance to forge his own path in computers and his other love, filmmaking. Having seen still images of their amazing holographic films, he hopes go to Emerson, and then return to build his own empire - and maybe even find his true self, as his mother did.

Chapter 20: Big Little
 

I WOKE UP the following day when Mackenzie’s large hands slipped underneath my body and picked me up. I blinked my eyes open and gasped as I was being lifted up unexpectedly!

“Morning, Connor,” she whispered to me.

I grumbled something that sounded like ‘morning’ as I looked at the room bathed in very low light from some nightlights by the changing table.

“Not waking up as quickly this morning,” she giggled. “Let’s see how you did last night!”

I was on the changing table now, and she unzipped the sleeper all the way down to expose the thankfully still-dry diaper. Her hand intrusively pinched at it and said, “Well, all dry!”

I gave her a thin smile. That was definitely a positive thing!

“Let’s take you to the potty before I put on your swim diaper.”

“Kay,” I replied. I was placed on her hip, now only wearing a dry diaper. She carried one of the swim diapers in her other hand, and I was soon in the bathroom. She sat me down on the potty and pulled at the diaper tabs. Briefly lifting my body off of it, she balled it up and walked toward the wall.

I took the opportunity to force my bladder to open, which wasn’t hard because I did feel really full! My bladder pushed for several moments, and as the trickle ended, she was right there with toilet paper to wipe my front and check my back. A tiny bit of gas must have escaped me in the night as I noted some brown on the piece as she tossed it in the bowl.

She held open the swim diaper for me to step into and led me to the bathroom sink to wash my hands. I realized then there was a taller sink against the wall she used. “Let’s get you dressed,” she told me while picking me up again. I felt self-conscious as I was nearly naked as she carried me to the room. However, I did feel better once I had the swimsuit on that covered my chest and diaper!

She was dressed in a t-shirt and soft shorts that must have been covering hers because she had just grabbed two towels, handed me my goggles, and carried me downstairs like a toddler this time. ‘Less like a toddler,’ I had to admit, knowing I was closer to a six-month-old in size than someone like a Big toddler!

It was early, and there were very few signs of life. I noticed a couple nest mothers were working out in the fitness room, but we were the only ones initially in the pool area. She placed me on a chair and said, “I managed to get a couple swim caps; which color do you want?”

Apparently, the only choices were pink or purple!

I blushed, “The purple one, I guess…?”

“Sorry, they didn’t have any other colors,” she said as she gathered my ponytail and wrapped my hair inside the cap. “And it’s a good thing you have so much hair; I think this would be too big otherwise!”

I blushed, “Somehow, I think that’s going to be a problem with just about everything this semester.”

She hugged me reassuringly, “You’ll be fine; I’ll keep an eye out for you.”

I was just diving into the pool when I realized the door opened and saw another nest mother in a swimsuit gape at me for a moment. I decided ignoring the giants was my smartest move, so even as I registered she and Mackenzie starting a conversation, I started swimming my laps. I alternated twenty-five sets of laps of freestyle, butterfly, and breaststroke, even as I noted another body was trying to keep pace beside me. I didn’t stop; I kept going until I had done the cycle three times, and a tall giant body blocked my path.

I righted myself and looked up at this stranger.

“Hi, I’m Miss Lilly. Where did you learn to swim like that?” She asked, seemingly out of breath.

“My mom taught my sisters and me?”

She shook her head, “Probably partly because we don’t let Littles really learn to swim, but I’ve never seen a Little swim like you do!”

“Thanks, Miss Lilly,” I told her politely.

Beside her, I noticed Mackenzie, “He said his mom thought his family was part dolphin,” she laughed. “I’m guessing it’s more than part!”

The girl giggled, “I agree.”

“Come on, my little dolphin, time to get Liam up, breakfast, and then we’ll go by the bookstore to make sure you both have any materials you need for the semester.”

“And then I think my grandmother is picking me up after lunch?” I asked as she picked me up and wrapped me in a towel.

“I think so,” she said. “She sent me an email saying she might come earlier. She’s supposed to text me,” she added.

Again I found myself carried on her hip once she had us wrapped in towels. A couple other nest mothers were about and smiled at us. They seemed to think I didn’t see the winks they gave Mackenzie for some reason…
 

BETH SPENT THE evening hanging out with Cassie as they washed her new panties back at the dorm. Given the accusation she’d been given, it was good to have a taller friend around, just in case! By the time she’d gone to bed, she had a brand new mattress that had never been removed from the plastic before being delivered and set up on her bed. Cassie had given her a hand on making it, ‘Since Mom had just made it, I had been looking forward to not having to deal with that. But, at least it’s done...’

She was at breakfast with Cassie and Livi when Desiree showed up. They’d all just about finished eating when nests of Littles were coming in. “What in the world?” Desiree asked, seeing the too-tall Little in the nest coming in.

Well, Nevaeh wasn’t a Little… but the uniform she now wore definitely displayed the diaper below it like one of the Littles who had gotten into too much trouble.

“What happened to her?!?” Desiree asked, “She’s taller than I am!”

Beth nodded, “She decided to go along with Kelly and try and land me in diapers,” she told her.

“What?!?” Desiree hissed.

“Neveah broke into her room, stashed some wet pull-ups around, stole her panties completely, and Kelly tried to get Penelope to search to confirm her problems.”

“How did you bust them?” Desiree asked me. She looked apprehensive, “That should have been enough to land you in Sanders or Wenig?”

“It would have been, but my dad had already seen it on the video surveillance we hid in my room,” Beth whispered that part.

Desiree smiled then, “So caught red-handed?”

“Especially when they found all of my panties cut up into pieces in her room!” Beth smirked, “Still pissed they did that part! They made her pay to reimburse me… that reminds me, I need to send a receipt to Dean Northrup so she can get me paid back!”

They were getting ready to leave when they heard, “Please? Can’t I go use the bathroom? It’s just down there?” Nevaeh was begging the nest mother, who was only about a foot taller than her.

“No, we go potty before we leave the nest, or we hold it until we all go to the potty. A Little girl like you can’t wander off alone. Plus, you’ve already used that diapee for pee-pee; I can tell it’s wet. Just go in your diapee, and we’ll change you when we return to the nest.”

“But I need to…?” It was like the whole cafeteria came to a stop right then. The diaper had already been peaking out underneath the skirt, and anyone could have seen it as she stopped mid-sentence. The girl who had seemingly towered above Beth before now seemed to take a step back in status so far that she wouldn’t seem big anymore! Height would no longer matter to anyone, as every single person in the cafeteria had stopped to watch the train wreck.

Nevaeh bent her knees slightly as everyone heard the loudest fart on the planet!

Bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrt!!!!!

The sound seemed to go on forever, even as she gasped and grunted.

She was turned away from Beth and her friends right then, so they had a front-row seat as the back of the diaper began drooping significantly and turning brown. Beth thought that would have been the most humiliating thing that could happen to anyone! Still, she grimaced as she realized little bits of brown began escaping and running down the girl’s legs.

“Oh, you poor dear, you’ve had a full blowout here! I thought you said you were a big girl?” the nest mother shook her head and seemed somehow more than a foot-and-a-half taller than the girl now.

Nevaeh burst into tears, and Beth almost felt sorry for her.

Almost!
 

CONNOR AND LIAM had arrived not long before the world’s largest Little had come into the cafeteria. They were eating and joined by Amy, Willow, and Mia. At the same time, Mackenzie hung out with their nest mother, Madelyn, at a nearby table.

“What happened to her?” Liam asked.

“Apparently, she’s being punished. She broke into some other girl’s room and tried to plant used training pants in there and stole her panties,” Mia said. “Ava told me the story last night,” she added.

“So even though she’s a giant, she’s considered a Little now?” Liam asked.

“Probably,” I told him. “You have to be really careful here,” I told them.

I was just ensuring we weren’t being overheard when I saw the blowout of the century. A whiff made it to my nose just as I took a bite of eggs. “Eew,” I couldn’t help but complain.

“Miss Mackenzie, can you watch Ava and Avery for a bit while I clean up my little girl here?”

“Sure thing Kaylee, we’d rather not smell that messy diaper all through breakfast! Not to mention that poopy rolling down her legs isn’t sanitary.”

“Thanks; we’ll use the bathroom here, so we don’t have to be gone long.”

I watched as the bawling girl was led by her hand from the dining hall to the hallway. I winced as I saw two brown splotches land on the floor, and I was grateful when a worker quickly cleaned up after her.

I also noticed a handful of other Big girls following behind the pair with their phones in hand while excitedly jeering at the poor girl.

“That’s horrible!!!” Amy said.

“Yeah, I bet they poisoned her like they did us that first night,” Willow added quietly.

Ava and Avery were helped into two tall chairs beside Mackenzie and Lucy. Apparently, they thought they really needed to look after them while they were gone.

“So, how long do you think we last?” Mia asked quietly.

“Last?” Liam responded.

“Yeah, before we’re having our own poopy diapers regularly? Didn’t you have one the past couple of days?”

He blushed, “Yes, but at least she let me wear Pull-Ups today.”

“What did you do anyway? She’s pretty kind compared to most of them?” I whispered.

He turned even redder, “Well… I was kind of pis… angry,” I noticed him stop himself, “when Miss Mackenzie took me back and insisted I wear a diaper. I called her some very bad words and tried to fight her…?”

“That was it?” I asked.

“There was something else, but I won’t relive it…?”

Willow squeezed his hand reassuringly, “Sounds bad?”

“So, how long do you think, Connor? You seem to be the expert?” Mia asked me.

I looked at her and shrugged, “Depends on what you do and your nest mother’s plans. Right now, I think that big girl is well on her way to being babied out; maybe that helps Ava and Avery make it longer.”

“What can we do?” Mia asked.

“Well, for one, don’t fight wearing Pull-Ups. You may very well have accidents and be pushed into diapers – don’t fight when it happens.”

“Yeah… doesn’t do any good,” Amy said.

“What happened to you?” Liam asked.

“First night?” She said.

“Oh,” Liam and I said together.

“I knew that was coming,” I told them.

“Did you know it would be impossible to stay dry till morning?” Liam asked.

“Actually, I’ve been dry every morning,” I told him.

“Same,” Willow said.

Amy and Mia shook their heads.

Mia said, “I’ve had to wake up and pee every night. Going back to sleep with a wet diaper su…?” Mia stopped mid-sentence just in time before Mackenzie was looking over at us.

“You five having a good time?” she asked.

We nodded, “Yes, Miss Mackenzie,” I said.

“Well, you have about ten minutes, and we’re heading back to the nest. Your grandmother just texted me that she’s coming to pick you up.” Mackenzie looked at me then.

“Great, thanks!” I told her.

“What’s this about a grandmother?” I was asked again.

“My mom…”
 

BETH WAVED AT Connor as she left and went with her friends to the bookstore. “I don’t even know why we have a bookstore anymore?” Livy said. “All of my classes the whole time have been digital books?”

Beth laughed, “They have to sell overpriced University gear somewhere!”

“Not to mention gifts for someone like Nevaeh…?” Cassie motioned to the ‘First’ part of the store.

It was the creepiest part of the store to Beth, and she knew most Betweeners felt the same way. ‘I can only imagine what the Littles think,’ she thought.

The ‘First’ part of the store was everything a Little hoped to avoid. A ‘Baby’s First Pacifier,’ ‘Baby’s First Bottle,’ ‘Baby’s First Onesie,’ and things along those lines. It took up only a tiny area of the store. Still, she knew many a Little somehow was adopted by a new ‘parent’ off-campus, or something would come to rub in their new baby’s status as they left from confirming the adoption with the university.

Beth found herself over in the supply section of the store and picked up a new stylus for classes. Livy was picking through the university shirts in her size when they noticed the exchange students coming in with their nests. Beth saw the absence of Connor but recognized a boy from his room, “Where’s Connor?”

“Lucky bas…” he caught himself, “guy got picked up by that grandmother of his… Wish I could get away for the weekend!”

Beth nodded at that, “Yeah, I know she was talking about that. Good for him. Good luck this semester,” she told him. She noticed that most of the students were in thinner underwear then. They were checking out as one of Littles was trying to buy one of the bracelet versions of the ID.

“What do you mean you can’t sell one to me without an adult? I saw one of the other exchange students got one?” It was one of the other boys who she noted wasn’t that far off of Mid-Size. ‘Just a couple inches shorter than I used to be,’ she thought darkly.

“It’s our store policy; an adult has to be here to confirm your registration.”

“Can my nest mother do that?”

“No, it has to be a parent, grandparent, or guardian you grew up with,” the woman said.

“My parents are back home in the other dimension; how can I possibly get one of these?”

“I don’t know; you might be able to talk to Dean Northrup? But, for now, I need to check out the other customers,” the woman said.

“How did Connor end up with one?” Beth heard as she took her receipt and kept moving outside the store.
 
 

Chapter 21: Motherboards
 

I LOOKED OUT the back glass of the car from the car seat I was strapped into. Grandma had shown up and checked me out from Sanders Hall to go home with her for the weekend. Doctor Greene had greeted her warmly, but somehow I suspected, based on her stiff body language, that she wasn’t thrilled about my special treatment. I wore my backpack as she led me by the hand out to her car.

“Where’s Grandpa and everyone else?” I asked.

“Back home, keeping an eye on Bella and doing whatever project he chose for the day,” she smiled at me. “Here, hand me your backpack,” she said as we approached the strange-shaped SUV, and the front hood opened to my surprise since I could tell there was also a back hatch area.

“Where’s the engine?” I asked.

“It’s a micro-sized battery-powered engine. All of the components are in the undercarriage in a two-foot by two-foot compartment. The gearbox is the biggest part, so you get a large trunk in front and a hatch in back.”

“Huh,” I said, impressed. I shrugged my backpack off and handed it to Grandma, watching her place it inside.

“Okay, now we need to get you some other clothes. Are you okay with a couple hours of shopping, and then we’ll head home?”

I grimaced, Mom had told me about her shopping experiences, and our trip the other day hadn’t exactly excited me to do that again! ‘Especially for the clothes I’m sure she’ll think I want to pick?’

“Sure,” I told her.

“Great!” she told me, “I can’t wait to spoil the one grandson I haven’t been able to yet! I just wish your sisters were here too!”

‘Not me,’ I thought. ‘I’m glad that they’re safely at home!’

I watched as the door to the car self-opened and saw a large cabin with a driver’s seat and passenger seat in front, then two rows of seats behind it, like our minivan back home. In the back row, I could see a tall, backed booster seat in the back, beside a forward-facing toddler car seat. In the middle row, two infant carrier-style car seats were buckled beside each other. One was pink and seemed a little faded in color and older, and I guessed it was Aunt Bella’s. The one beside it was similar in style, with the edges colored in a heather blue that seemed brand new.

She picked me up and placed me inside, carefully doing the buckles.

“Am I really this small?” I found myself asking aloud.

“Sweetie, you’re not as small as your mommy was, but you’re pretty close! I don’t think I’ll need to, but I have no doubt we could carry you inside this carrier, and it wouldn’t be any different than doing it with a normal infant. You’re only about the size of a six-month-old at best?”

I grimaced as she clicked the buckle shut. “Joy…”

She laughed, “It wasn’t the end of the world for your mom, and it won’t be for you either!”

She closed the passenger door and climbed into the driver’s seat, closing that door too. The back of the seat in front of me suddenly turned into a video screen. I could see a small picture of her in a rectangular window, and the rest of the view seemed to be in front of the car.

The detail was absolutely incredible!

“Comfy?” Grandma asked me.

I shrugged or tried to, “I guess? This harness doesn’t exactly let me move around. It’s kind of claustrophobic,” I told her.

“Sorry, there’s no way you can sit in any seat without a harness. I might be able to justify a regular rear-facing seat instead of that infant carrier? Unfortunately, a booster is at least a foot away height-wise for you.”

I sighed, “I figured when I got my measurements. So where are we going?”

“Well, we have a few stops. First, we need to get you a phone from here so you can call for help if you need it. It’ll let you keep in touch with your friends too.”

“Cool!” I thought briefly, “Is there any chance I could find one of those sets of augmented reality contacts there?”

Grandma sighed, “You can find them there, but they’ll all be too big for you. Is that something you want?”

“They seem like a really cool way to get to a computer anytime I need one?”

“They would be… let me see if there’s any way for me to commission a set in your size. Your problem again is that you are the size of an infant… I think the smallest size I’ve seen for sale has been for ten-year-olds. Some studies have shown that too much of that kind of technology on younger eyes can prevent younger children from developing fine motor skills like they should.”

I nodded, “I guess that makes sense… Is there anything else like that?”

“Well, they have the goggle version I think you used for your placement test yesterday?”

I nodded, “Yeah, those were pretty cool. Those goggles were the first ones I’ve seen that actually work right. Even the ones mom is developing back home leave me feeling disconnected from reality.”

“We’ll look for those,” she said as the vehicle pulled to a stop.

Only then did I realize she hadn’t been driving and had been turned to face an image of me projected on the windshield the whole time. ‘Makes sense; Mom always said they were a decade ahead in self-driving vehicles when she left.’

Grandma opened her door and came around to me. She used a switch at the car seat’s base to swivel me to face her, and I feared I was about to be carried through the store in that carrier. “Now, Connor, before we go in, I need to make sure you’re ready for this. I left you in your uniform intentionally; it should shield you from someone trying anything with me here, but be warned, there will probably be some comments about you being newly adopted, needing diapers, or who knows what else?”

I nodded, “Mom told me all of the stories.”

“Okay then, it’s going to be a lot of walking today. So I want to give you a couple choices. One, I can carry you in this carrier and put you down in a cart?”

I shook my head, “Can we do something else, please? I feel trapped in this thing…?”

“I have a stroller for your Aunt in here or a backpack carrier I can put you in.”

“Can your back still handle something like that?” I asked nervously.

She laughed, “Littles aren’t the only ones that can get rejuvenation treatments, Connor. My back is as strong as when your mom was here.”

“Why is Grandpa limping then?” I asked.

“He doesn’t want to do a treatment for that yet. He’s been holding off for some stubborn reason,” Grandma shrugged. “Doctors make the worst patients!”

“I’ve heard that,” I told her. Then, I thought briefly, “Mom said she never minded the carrier?”

“Good choice,” she said.

Soon my legs were being threaded inside the backpack carrier, “We’ll face you outwards so you can see,” she said with a smile as she positioned me. Moments later, she had a large diaper bag that I hoped doubled as a purse on one side and was carrying me inside. It was a little disconcerting to see the world from so high!

I saw that the store’s name was Motherboards and remembered Mom mentioning it. “You guys must have better luck with tech stores staying open than we do,” I told her. “I don’t think we have a single chain still open since Mom came here!”

She laughed, “Most of them probably have gone under. This store has been partially helped out with its Little Gear focus for part of the store. Tech tools for regressing and controlling your Little have made them a lot of money,” She said that last part in a whisper. She continued, “Sweetie, it’s probably best if you don’t talk much more while we’re in this store. They won’t do anything to us, but they can be rather not Little friendly.”

I tried to turn to look at her, but she just squeezed my hanging body in a hug instead. “You’ll be fine!”

“Welcome to Motherboards. Is there anything I can assist you in finding?” A sudden hologram appeared beside us from nowhere. The woman looked smaller than Grandma since I could look into her eyes right then, but she would have towered over me if I was standing on the ground. She seemed incredibly lifelike and was attired in a polo and slacks like I would have expected someone similarly to be dressed back home in sales. She even had a nametag that said, ‘Grace’ on it.

“We’re just looking for your phones,” Grandma told her.

“Go down that way on aisle fifteen, and you’ll find the kiosk at the end. If you need any LittleCare Gear, you can find that down aisles twenty-five through thirty-six. If you need more assistance, just say, ‘Grace, I need help,’ and I’ll come to find you!”

“Thanks,” Grandma responded. She squeezed me as the hologram disappeared.

“That’s creepy,” I couldn’t help but mutter. “And cool… but creepy!”

Grandma said, “Shhh…. Let’s get what we need here.”
 

BETH WAS WEARING her EdgeSphere Glasses and currently surfing a few websites and alternating watching cute videos about crafting projects. She held Rings across her lap and stroked her fur as she found herself wishing she hadn’t left all of her crafting supplies back home!

She’d just finished another video when she heard a knock on the door. Pulling her glasses off, she leaped from the bed and went to the door. Looking through the peephole, she saw it was Penelope.

“Hi?” She said as she opened the door.

“Hi Beth, I just wanted to let you know that the funds to reimburse your damages should be in your bank account tomorrow. Dean Northrup and President Barnes wanted to ensure I came by and ensured you were okay? Is the new mattress okay?”

“Umm… thanks!” Beth said, “Yeah, I mean as okay as a dorm mattress ever gets, right?” She laughed nervously.

Penelope nodded, “I remember them. I’m grateful that I can bring my queen-sized mattress to my apartment!”

Beth nodded, “I bet that’s nice!”

“Well, if you need anything, please let me know.” She started to turn but turned back, “Just so you know, Kelly was questioned. Even though Nevaeh said she was being blackmailed by Kelly to break into your room, she never admitted to anything. There’s no proof, so she’s gotten off with a warning to stay away from you. I’d just like to make sure I gave you a similar warning… that girl is up to no good, and I wouldn’t trust her not to try again at some point.”

Beth nodded, “Thanks for the warning…?”

She reached for her phone and dialed her dad when she closed the door.
 

I WAS IN shock with the various phones that were available. Most of them were incredibly thin, and some rolled up into what looked like a lipstick tube shape! I knew there were more advanced tech pieces out there, but overall for some reason, phones had primarily stayed the same shapes. Then, finally, we found an ultra-small one that was the thickness of an old credit card from back home. It was still almost a tablet for my small size, but I could hold it in one hand and might even be able to text almost normally. I remembered Mom telling me MelonCorp phones were good when she was here, being equivalent to the old iPhones from her teenage and adult years.

“I think this will work,” I told Grandma as I manipulated it.

She looked at the hologram working the counter, “We’ll go ahead and take this. I want to add it to my family plan?”

“Certainly, Doctor Westerfield,” the clerk hologram said, and I watched as she reached down below and opened a cabinet. She pulled out a shrinkwrapped box, unsealed it, and held it in her hand momentarily while her eyes seemed distant. “You want to just charge this to your monthly bill?” She asked her.

“Please,” Grandma responded.

The hologram placed the phone into the box and handed it to her, “It’s activated and ready to go! Charge on that one should last five years; if you need a battery replacement before you replace the phone, we can do that here.”

“Umm… thanks,” Grandma said. “Now, can you tell me where you have your EdgeSphere Glasses?”

“Down on aisle twenty-four,” the helpful hologram said.

“Appreciate it,” Grandma told the hologram and handed me the box to hold. “You can play in the car,” she whispered to me.

I smiled as she made her way through the aisles. As we approached aisle twenty-four, I felt my stomach grow cold with the realization we were right next to the LittleCare Gear section. I could see advertisements for one of the aisles focused on ‘Hypnosis Aids,’ ‘Home Nanite Care,’ ‘Health Trackers,’ ‘Toys and Games,’ ‘Advanced Diapers,’ and ‘Sexual Wellness.’

‘Sexual Wellness…?’ I wondered, but I really didn’t want to know!

Fortunately, we were just going to an adjacent row. Grandma stopped in front of a section of the aisle dedicated to a brand called EdgeSphere. “This is the best brand, the best resolution, and their source code is clean of any hidden bugs,” Grandma said quietly. “I just hope they have a set small enough for you here.”

The display talked about the ability to dedicate a given space in a room to play games and move around the virtual reality worlds. It spoke of the great aid it was also to students doing homework and being able to only focus on the one task it let them see. I noted that another display noted adult programs were also available through the app store. ‘Adult programs?’ I couldn’t help but wonder. I remembered reading in a history book how the porn industry significantly impacted the selection of the old VHS standard, succeeding until it was obsolete. ‘Crazy that things are similar here on that front?’

Grandma looked through all the displays and found them labeled ‘XS’ through ‘XXXL.’ The XS seemed to be sized for a six-year-old. “I don’t think we can size these down for you… I wonder…”

“Grace, I need help?” She said aloud.

I nearly wet myself as the hologram appeared right in front of us again. “How may I help you, Doctor Westerfield?”

I’m looking for a smaller size of the EdgeSphere Goggles here. “Smaller?”

“Yes, I have a set for my niece that is sized, infant?”

Her face changed slightly before saying, “Oh, those are available in the LittleCare Gear area; follow me!”

She took us down the Toys and Games aisle, and I couldn’t help but fear some of the ‘smart toys’ I saw advertised!
 
 

Thanks for reading! Please leave a comment if you did so and press the Kudos button! I should be posting a couple times a week until this is fully posted here on BC. This first full novel is complete (73 chapters plus Epilogue) and published on Amazon if you wish to be impatient though! I hope to have Book 2 published there in the next few months as well.

All of my published works have AI read audiobooks available for them. I’ve spent some time tweaking pronunciations, and they’re pretty good when you can’t afford thousands to pay for audiobook creation! They’re a $1.99 addon to the $6.95 price on Kindle. If you’ve already purchase the book it should come up as only $1.99. They’re also available on Audible directly, but that’s $10.95 versus the cheaper price! https://www.amazon.com/author/babysofia
