My parents, both avid readers, instilled a love for books at an early age. My 3rd and 4th-grade teacher, Mrs. Watson, encouraged my passion for writing.<\/p>\n Cyber Dawn includes many of my experiences as a childhood cancer survivor and amputee. Like Ben, I was diagnosed with cancer and had my right leg amputated when I was 11 years old. The nearly-sudden appearance of a golf-ball-sized tumor in my right knee always seemed suspicious. And while I have no evidence of foul play, that suspicion (and my love for science fiction) helped form the story behind Cyber Dawn.<\/p>\n I live in Colorado with my wife, two children, and our two dogs.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Quote Section” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#383e59″ background_image=”https:\/\/www.cyberdawn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/pages-divider.png” background_size=”contain” background_position=”top_center” custom_margin=”||-97px|||” custom_padding=”80px||7.7%|||” top_divider_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.3)” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” width=”73.9%” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.cyberdawn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/8_cover_web-250×400-1.jpg” title_text=”8_cover_web-250×400″ align=”right” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ width=”87.8%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_slide=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” hover_enabled=”0″ border_radii=”on|6px|6px|6px|6px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_vertical=”35px” box_shadow_blur=”70px” box_shadow_spread=”-35px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.6)” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_font=”Nunito|600|||||||” text_font_size=”15px” header_font=”Abhaya Libre|700|||||||” header_font_size=”70px” header_line_height=”1.2em” header_2_font=”Bebas Neue||||||||” header_2_font_size=”36px” header_4_font=”Nunito|700||on|||||” header_4_text_color=”#bda392″ header_4_letter_spacing=”2px” header_4_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_intensity_slide=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” hover_enabled=”0″ header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_phone=”” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_font=”Nunito||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” animation_intensity_slide=”5%” animation_starting_opacity=”100%” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n It\u2019s been three years since Alexandra Goddard was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and saved by an experimental cybernetic implant.
