X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Recent policies and legislation across the
  United States have made the reading and teaching of banned books more dif
 ficult for classrooms and libraries. In 2021\, the American Library Associ
 ation reported 729 attempts to censor library resources\, targeting 1\,597
  books\, the highest amount of attempted book bans in more than 20 years.<
 /p>\n<p></p>\n<p>A storyteller by trade\, Bartron regularly crafts and dir
 ects stories for film and TV\, but the freedom she&rsquo\;s discovered in 
 publishing novels has ignited a new passion.&nbsp\;From a young age Bartro
 n spun narratives to comfort and entertain her sister as they moved all ov
 er the world with their Green Beret father\, mother and furry family membe
 rs. She was enthralled with the legends of the locals she met and the plac
 es she visited. More than anything\, she learned that stories have the pow
 er to create common experiences even among very different people.</p>\nhtt
