Ann and Anna: A Prequel

This initial version of the Ann and Anna universe has been a short story series, written while editing my nonfiction Project Do Better manual, based on one historical character and one fictional protagonist as well, initially meant to be merely a single blog post based on a dream that I had while working on another book.  That post turned into a short series, which had such an overwhelming response from readers that I have decided to take their suggestions, and write a novel based on this short series.  As this series itself has been published on my blog, it is not eligible for traditional publication, so I am releasing it as a novella for the enjoyment of my readers, as a prequel to the novel which I hope to publish traditionally in the coming year or so.  Note that some of these chapters may have been edited on my blog, since publication here, and thus the final version of this work is always at the ShiraDest blog.  This prequel is being released for comparison with the early drafts of the related novel, current working title "Passing."
