After lots of brouhaha, it was believed finally that I had indeed penned the poem which went on to win me a Scrabble game and local acclaim. That year, I wrote a story and my teacher said “This is really good.” Before that I had written a poem about Martin Luther King that was, I guess, so good no one believed I wrote it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Of course I got in trouble for lying but I didn’t stop until fifth grade. I loved lying and getting away with it! There was something about telling the lie-story and seeing your friends’ eyes grow wide with wonder. Not “Once upon a time” stories but basically, outright lies. I loved and still love watching words flower into sentences and sentences blossom into stories. I chalked stories across sidewalks and penciled tiny tales in notebook margins. (It was not pretty for me when my mother found out.) I wrote on paper bags and my shoes and denim binders. I remember my uncle catching me writing my name in graffiti on the side of a building. I used to say I’d be a teacher or a lawyer or a hairdresser when I grew up but even as I said these things, I knew what made me happiest was writing. ![]() ![]() (Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher.

How can we awaken within ourselves desires that make it impossible to settle for anything less than a fulfilling life?

Nothing is vital but readers might not be totally satisfied in that way. The one downside is there are some questions that remain unanswered or left hanging. There’s some things that remain the same it seems like.

She’s taken on so many roles, her variants feel like an extension of the character that has evolved and grown over the years. The motivation is so unlike our Jessica, it’s almost the exact opposite of the character we know. Written by Gail Simone, the issue is interesting as Jessica’s nemesis is everything she isn’t. The Variants #5 has Jessica facing off against the leader of more variants as we get the reason behind everything. Which one? We get the details here as the two squads of Jessicas wrap up.
