Half A Lion is inspired by, and taps into, that rich vein of legends and folklore. Even more, I would listen to my grandfather tell stories of our tribe and family, of personal legends (like an ancestor who fought off a tiger with bare hands and earned the moniker HAND OF A TIGER, a name I inherited), and gruesome battles (like magically burying the raiders of a rival army and allowing one survivor to return with the demoralizing news that stopped further incursions). How could I be poor when I had magical powers going to a boarding school for the gifted ( Harry Potter), or a mysterious man who recently came into some fortune and seeks revenge ( The Count of Monte Cristo)? I sought refuge in those stories. As a kid growing up in a small town and a lowly neighborhood, I never knew we were poor, even though my mother constantly reminded me of it.
