The Story
Naomi believed it was just another summer visit to her dear grandmother’s house. After spending time with her granny, she went for the usual stroll in the wilderness behind the house.
Distracted by her surroundings, she somehow ended up in a new world. She met a friendly snake not long after- and it could talk! But there’s a problem; she couldn’t seem to find her way back home. Will she be able to figure it out with the help of the snake?

The income will go directly into printing and distributing Volume 1. It will also help recoup the costs of creating Volume 1, so we can start focusing on continuing the series.
Discoverability is also a thing, so we will allocate some of the income to marketing. We will be strategic and try our best to grow the community.
