Content Notes

Skies Are Blue is a series about employment just as much as it’s a series about trauma. These stories are heartwarming and heart-wrenching, as each follows an individual through their own internal and external struggles.

When I started writing this series over 20 years ago, I was processing my own trauma and wanted explore the different methods people use to process theirs. Since then, the stories have gone through many iterations, and the characters and world have blossomed. I hope you enjoy Rain Does Fall, a story that is very close to my heart.
