Produktbeschreibung
Trueflame is about a salty bi woman fighting the patriarchy, and how brilliant women are destroyed by the shackles of expectation in a regressive society. ¿Neesha doesn't care about the affairs of dragons. All she wants is to cultivate her unprecedented pyromantic power, but chafes against her mother's reputation as a ground-breaking dragon whisperer and against a regressive society that expects her to marry. Escaping not only her mother's judgement but the attention of family-approved suitors proves difficult, especially when an unplanned pregnancy drastically narrows Neesha's options and sets a tight deadline for fulfilling her dream of being accepted to the Wizards Guild before motherhood sidelines her. Just when she thinks she can take no more, her mother's old foe returns for revenge against her entire family, bringing river monsters, a threat to the dragon city, and tough choices that hold the fate of her city-especially her unborn child-in jeopardy. She's going to have to start caring about the dragons and earn their trust in order to succeed.

She is also a member of SFWA and TWUC.When she's not being bookish, she's into astronomy, hiking, gardening, and has a personal goal to visit all the national parks. Don't ask her about her love of trees unless you've got some time. She loves Halloween and hates to be cold. Vanessa lives in Waterloo (no, the other one) with her husband, daughter, and dogs, where she can be found in her butterfly garden, achieving her final form as a forest witch.
