Dear Reader, This is the first Novel I wrote in the Novo Nation of Water Worlds series and I wrote it to keep me from going crazy is what I was thinking when I started. I was dating a girl and things were going crazy, so to really calm myself I started writing and I have not stopped.

It has been edited for spelling is all I’ve done with it. William
