My name is Qorow Low

My name is Qorow Low. I am a minor character in Phyllis Moore’s first book Pegasus Colony. If it had been up to her, I would have continued as a minor character throughout her entire trilogy.

Minor characters rarely have an influence on a plot. We are there to fill up pages with proof that the major characters are not the only ones who live in a story.
I wanted more.

I’m not usually so bold. I actually timid, but I wanted Phyllis to tell my story. I knew the only way to get her attention was to do something bold.

One day she was writing a scene where I was speaking to a major character. I took a deep breath and opened the front of my winter jacket so Phyllis could see my newborn baby strapped to my chest.

She had no idea that I had a baby. She was so surprised she stopped writing.
I couldn’t see her. I’m only words on a page after all. But I could feel her staring at the computer screen. To my relief, she liked the idea. My baby and I became major characters in her second book.

Even though my child, my precious little baby girl was sick and dying, Phyllis made her life matter. My daughter became a heroine in the story and changed the course of my people’s destiny.

Thanks to Phyllis, I do not mourn my daughter’s death. Despite her short-lived life, I am proud of her.

You can read her story and mine in Phyllis Moore Storm’s Coming, the second novel in her People of Akiane Trilogy.
