The Hitchhiker:
I wish I hadn’t lost my bus ticket.
I wish I hadn’t turned around when he called
‘Hey! Where do you need to go?’
I wish he hadn’t looked so friendly.
I wish he hadn’t stopped in the middle of nowhere.
I wish child locks hadn’t been invented.
I wish I’d fought harder.
I wish I were stronger so I could’ve hurt him.
I wish I didn’t hurt so much.
I wish another car would come by.
I wish I wasn’t so frightened.

From a Facebook post by Uncovered History:
"In the 1970s, hitchhiking was a common way to get around for those who didn’t have a car or were too young to drive. Sticking out your thumb often led to a ride from a kind stranger, embodying the era's carefree and adventurous spirit. While hitchhiking seems unthinkable today, it once symbolized the freedom and trust that defined the open road in the '70s."

So, this is the cover for HOW TO WEAR YOUR DRAGON as planned at present. I create my own covers in Canva, using images that I licence from Freepik for commercial use. Please note that although I use images that have been created using AI, I do not create the prompts myself nor do I use AI for the writing. I acknowledge the use of AI illustrations and credit the digital site on the copyright page of my books, but if this causes you a problem, my books are not for you.
For those who are antipathetic to Amazon (and goodness knows it has a dangerously firm grip on self publishing) I've taken HOW TO BREATHE UNDERWATER out of Kindle Unlimited, and she's available all over the place now! Take your pick!
