Final Major Project: MorningStar, The Average Sinner's Guide to Hell (2021) – "Smokin' Fast" spread from MorningStar, The Average Sinner's Guide to Hell. This fictional guide describes what happens to "average sinners" in Hell, including choosing a "torture plan" to repent for their mortal sins. This book is meant to be a satirical take highlighting and poking fun at people who harass people and tell them they're "going to Hell."
Final Major Project: MorningStar, The Average Sinner's Guide to Hell (2021) – The "Meet The Team" page in MorningStar, The Average Sinner's Guide to Hell.
