FULL NOVELXO Chapter Author’s Notes and All That Jazz
This story (and series) is what happens when a kid watches Star Trek and wonders why folks who don’t fit their native universes (*cough* Mirror!Miles *cough*) don’t just hop over to another one that suits them better. I mean, Star Trek and other space operas make it so easy (or, at least, feasible). So where are all the expats?
It’s worth noting that, when I wrote this, I had not seen The X Files, nor did I know the TV show Fringe existed. (As of this writing, I still haven’t seen The X Files. I like Fringe, though.)
I hope you’ve had fun!
This particular format for the story designed for posting on websites like this one. The e-book release of this story has two editions in the file. One is what you’ve just read: the “Authorized Cut”. This has some adjustments (mostly to swearing) to keep things to a T rating. The “Author’s Edition” would generally qualify for an M rating.
The series hops content alerts comparably to the Underworld franchise of movies, so though this first story would be fine for the vast majority of folks even in the original edition, I have the dual editions for the sake of readers and situations that would rather not read cursing, etc., but who otherwise want to read the story.
If you enjoyed the story, you can buy the released e-book or the sequels on your preferred vendor. See https://books2read.com/DS001 .
Wondering where the title came from for She Who Knows Tomorrow?
It’s not a direct reference, but it was inspired by James 4:14.
“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” (KJV)

Cara Lee is the name used for the dystopian works of Misti Wolanski. Technology, biology, propaganda, and the moral implications of all three have fascinated the author since she first noticed how people with power often abuse it. She now writes stories that explore the boundaries where helpful becomes hurtful, and vice versa, while her cat tries to sneak sips of her coffee.
