About this ebook
A simple star? Dead easy to make. Only two pieces of paper, less than twenty steps… Yep. Literally anyone can make a star. Nothing can go wrong.
…Right?
A pair of cheeky micro stories about the perils of crafting and home-making when you're an immortal, all-powerful being.
(Never mind the explosions. We can always restart the universe.)

Liana Brooks
Liana Brooks once read the book GOOD OMENS by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett and noted that both their biographies invited readers to send money (or banana daiquiris). That seems to have worked well for them. Liana prefers strawberry daiquiris (virgin!) and will never say no to large amounts of cash in unmarked bills. Her books are sweet and humorous with just enough edge to keep you reading past your bedtime. Liana was born in San Diego and in addition to there has lived in Illinois, Colorado, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Kansas. We'd like to tell you where she is right now, but last we checked she was researching books on both Alaska and Africa. Not only are the bookstore algorithms breaking trying to track this lady, but we can't tell you where to mail that daiquiri. Your best bet is to try Twitter where you can often find @LianaBrooks talking about her four kids, her giant dog, and plans for world domination.

How To Make A Star
(Annotated by Yours Truly with Helpful Hints to avoid certain destruction of the universe and other Regrettable Incidents.)
––––––––
‘Make a classic, five-pointed star with two pieces of origami paper and a piece of tape!’
––––––––
Easy, anyone can make a star. It says so right in the book.
One piece of blue paper shimmering like the summer sky. One piece as black as winter night, cold and limitless.
––––––––
1 – Using a square piece of paper, turn it so it looks like a diamond. If the paper is colored on one side, have the colored sided facing up.
––––––––
The black paper sits on the desk like a sulky, teenage blackhole, radiating
