Thanks for the support! Until a few years ago I was pretty shy about having one hand. But I came to realize that if I stand in a corner and act shy, that's how people will perceive me. On the other hand (pun slightly intended), if I make a conscious effort to be outgoing and act like my difference doesn't affect me, people will see me that way and adapt. Having one hand is now a huge part of my personality; I use it to open conversations, I constantly make one-hand jokes and puns, and I can honestly say I love my differences!

I think that's awesome, and I actually do the same thing when meeting people, I have plenty of absurd stories I tell! Strangely enough, I'm currently typing this comment at around 75 words/minute using my left hand and my "nub". And I doubt I'd be that good at typing if I hadn't needed to focus on it so much when I was learning!

I certainly know of children's authors who make a sizeable amount of income through their books, and supplement it with income from things like speaking engagements regarding their books. I, however, just recently graduated from college and I'm still working on funding my second book through that Kickstarter campaign. So I'm afraid for me at least that goal is fairly distant!

They do! Uniquely Me follows a little boy with one hand as he goes on an adventure to find out why he's different. By the end of the story (and after having made friends with a few talking animals) he realizes that it doesn't matter if he has one hand or two, because his differences make him unique! And kudos to you for raising your child with those values!

Random question, but I'll entertain it. Game of Thrones. A few seasons ago a bunch of my friends decided to call me Jaime for a while, which I was perfectly fine with.
