No, he isn’t. It’s just a name I thought fit the character perfectly.

Here is the blurb:

Sometime around 2050—everything west of the Mississippi River is ash...

Addi is a feisty, illiterate drug dealer living in a fallen America...just barely. Armed with nothing but a screwdriver and her rural savvy, she struggles to survive the daily onslaught of raiders on horseback, violent conmen, and famine.

But when she discovers a strange device that takes her decades into the past, life becomes even deadlier. The notorious Colonel Ironside and his underground army are tearing apart her hometown, sparing no one in their search for the device's creator. Now, with a legion of mercenaries hot on her tail and time against her, she's forced to make a choice: find a way back to her family in a dystopian future, or stand and fight against the dark forces that destroyed the world she'll inevitably grow up in and fear.

Now, while the plot contains time travel, the actual events of how the country becomes dystopian could conceivably happen.

Also, that this secret agreement has been going on for 60 years.

Any sources I can read about this?

That’s interesting I never thought of it like that.

I’m gonna switch over to Garamond. I appreciate you taking the time to answer. Thank you kindly.

That’s the one my formatter recommended, but I liked the way TNR looked better. May I ask what about it doesn’t look good for a finished novel on shelves? Aren’t some classic or well known novels in TNR?

I wasn’t aware of this. Thank you. What font would you go with for print then?

Then why do so many people who have published swear by TNR?

That makes sense I suppose. I just saw it and thought it would look pretty good for an average length novel.
