About the author:
Shawnacy Kiker is a full-fledged, if slightly reluctant, member of the human race. She self-published her first work of fiction, Donald Duck, Surprise! in her bedroom at the age of four. The work is currently out of print. Her poetry and prose has since been published by various kind people in books and around the web. She resides in sunny and overpopulated Southern California, and dreams of someday residing somewhere else.





















Stretching forms indeed. Nice piece of work. Oh, and I have a copy of “Donald Duck, Surprise.”
