The Last Abatement - Paperback

Lily runs Beaver's Pond Press in Saint Paul, Minnesota. She's blessed to share her life with gifted filmmaker Patrick Coyle, their phenomenal daughters, Clara and Ruby, and a very dear dog. (There's always a dog.)

She owes credit for all success to her wicked cool mom, her unforgettable dad, and an epic constellation of blood, step, half, in-law, outlaw, work, and chosen family, plus ancestors like Great Aunt Joan of Arc, if the family tree is for real.

Other than those eight years spent enlisted in the U.S. Navy, Lily knows she is a highly privileged Earthling and tries sincerely to remember that each day.

Becca Hart is a comic book kid. In first grade, she started her own series, The Mystery Girls (which shared an uncanny resemblance to Cartoon Network's The Powerpuff Girls). Hart wrote and illustrated her characters' adventures, taped the pages together, and mailed the latest issues to her cousins via manila envelopes stuffed to the brim and speckled with stamps.

With the support and encouragement of her loved ones, Hart continued her passion for stories, comic books, and graphic novels through college and beyond... and into the path of one Lily Baber Coyle, Beaver's Pond Press, and a profession in illustration and publishing that still strikes this comic book kid as a dream come true.
