Cara Lee

Cara Lee is the name used for the dystopian works of Misti Wolanski. Technology, biology, propaganda, and the moral implications of all three have fascinated the author since she first noticed how people with power often abuse it. She now writes stories that explore the boundaries where helpful becomes hurtful, and vice versa, while her cat tries to sneak sips of her coffee. If you want to read more from the same person’s head… • For more sci-fi, look for Misty White. • For more the tangled characters and situations, look for Misti Wolanski. • For stories even darker than what you’ve read, look for Carralee Byrd. (These are all the same writer, just different nuances of brand.) If you want to read something comparable but… • more lighthearted, this author recommends Lindsay Buroker. • more adult, this author recommends Grace McDermott or Gabriella Webster. • not the same writer, this author recommends Jennifer Recchio. (These are different people—not her—and she does not get any reimbursement for suggesting them.)

The gift must be small enough to hide in one of her fine-boned hands. That means he can afford to browse the more expensive woods he usually wouldn’t consider buying.

He needs a wood hard enough to
