My journey to "DRIVE THE SUN" began with an Aptera prose simply called "My Aptera." It was written, then posted on the DRIVE THE LIGHTNING YouTube Channel August 13th, 2022.

I had pre-ordered my solar powered Aptera months earlier in April 2022.

I continually searched for updates after pre-ordering it, wanting to learn more of Aptera's progress, production timeline, and eventual delivery,

That resulted in my discovery of Chad & Sara Monroe's DRIVE THE LIGHTNING (DTL) YouTube Channel.

The first words for the first Aptera prose, "My Aptera" came from a growing excitement and endearment of the vehicle shared on and by the DRIVE THE LIGHTNING YouTube Channel.

I continued writing new prose with a drive that was fed by the enthusiasm of other future Aptera owners seen in videos created and hosted by the fun, joyful and informative (DTL) dynamic duo of Chad & Sara Monroe.

Over 100 online short literary works followed in an increasing speed over the next 4 months cumulating and resulting in the initial collection of Aptera and Drive The Lightning prose that is now published here within my first book, "DRIVE THE SUN."
