I have been writing and drawing Cardinal comics for 30 years now. Nothing created on my computer will ever top this novel I have written. It is partly based on my own life. (Yes, the main character loves Comics!) I was bullied for 10 years as a kid. But what the bullies called me impacted my life for decades afterward, even as a Christian. It wasn't until 2016 I finally surrendered this burden to Jesus Christ and he broke me out of bo***ge. I have been asked to share this story with all. It is a very candid story and NOT recommended for those under Middle School age. Maybe you need it or maybe someone you know does. It is available in print form or Kindle from Amazon. Please share this with others. Thank you.
