Penny's Protector

The setting feels so vivid and unique—I'm curious if the author envisioned this universe from the start or developed it as she wrote.

Her initial hesitation and eventual bond with the alien felt so real. I wonder how much of that was driven by the author's own experiences with trust and vulnerability.

The pacing kept me hooked, but I’m curious whether the blend of tender moments and suspense was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.
