Recently experiencing a ventricular-tachycardia episode, this author is convinced that she survived the usually fatal occurrence in order to bring Fibica to the world. The author wants the character, Fibica, to be the main focus so the novel is penned under the pseudonym Golden Eight. There are a myriad of reasons for the chosen name. Having graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Indiana University with a Psychology/Spanish double major, the author’s fifteen plus years of insurance employment from Corporate Trainee to Senior Production Underwriter has given her valuable knowledge in writing Fibica. Her K through 12 teaching and CYO volleyball coaching experience has given her incite into the hearts and minds of students and parents. After celebrating her silver wedding anniversary, she unexpectedly became a widow. Now widowed for three years and a single mother of two teenagers, Golden Eight feels the heroine’s plight and wants to help other widows understand that they are still unequivocally loved.

This Eucharistic Minister and Lector desires to bring Hope and Joy to the world with a keen secret wish of helping other widows through their unbearable sorrow. She believes that widows need to know the specific promises contained in sacred writings and her heroine deduces that God has a special love for widows. Golden Eight conveys some of the holy passages in her romantic, justice-seeking novel as she offers mythical Fibica to hurting souls.

The author hopes that through her fictional story, underdogs everywhere will understand that God is a very, very big God. He can handle every situation for the underdog’s triumph. Even when things seem the bleakest, God is still in control and has the capacity to lift a fledgling to heights unimaginable. Trusting God is the key.
