It was meant to be uplifting and cathartic. Now four years later, my daughter is in a place where she could help write that story. To inspire others going through similar struggles. As a father, I’m proud. As a comic book writer, I’m inspired. As a human being, I’m moved.”
“I’ve always loved writing. And with A HAUNTED GIRL there was a chance for me to work on a story that is very personal,” mentioned Naomi Sacks. “Cleo, the principle character, goes by means of quite a lot of the identical struggles that I did and feels hopeless at many occasions as I did. But that she perseveres is inspirational to me, too. “
