This tale was co-written by a ghost that lives in my basement. When I get tired, he steps into my body and writes about his life and death. It's much like sleepwalking. I'd start my nights in bed and wake up the next morning in a blue armchair in front of a laptop. My job is to rearrange his words into a narrative. For me, this is a work of fiction.

Kam Karem
My mother's family, the Karems, immigrated to the United States from Becharre, Lebanon in the early 1900s. In Becharre, theMyy, and the town's other inhabitants served as "Keepers of the Cedars of God" for generations. This famous grove was part of the tremendous forests that used to cover most of Lebanon. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh seeks fame and glory by cutting down the cedar forest. I thought this ancient tension between protectors of the environment and developers made the perfect foil for Ranger Nader & The Sunstruck Phantom, and I hope you will too.
