Near Miss

Postface

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for staying caught up on Near Miss! I know I was publishing very quickly and the story was very complicated, but here's hoping the twist at the end was everything you thought it would be. I may have written trilogies before, but I certainly have no intention of abandoning Rhiannon and Sylvie yet... not now that they've realized where their strengths lie.

If you liked Near Miss, you might want to check out some of my other novels. Onions & Garlic is a full-length novel featuring Rhiannon and Sylvie as they peel off the layers of an increasingly complicated crime, and if you haven't already read it, you may want to check it out. Headlines & Head Wounds is a short mystery collection featuring Rhiannon and Sylvie as they navigate separate worlds of familiar characters and suspicious incidents.

If you're interested in fantasy or science fiction, you may also enjoy The Unskillful Thaumaturge, the story of a young girl's discovery in a world of magical modernity, where the detectives of the Department for the Investigation of Anomalous Occurrences unravel the knots from a case stretching back sixteen years. The sequel is almost complete, so now is a great time to binge!

Here comes a special thank-you to my editor Claudia, Knower of All Things About How Old Women Talk. You deserve many epithets, but this is by far my favorite. Please fax her scones in lieu of votes.

I'd like to wrap up Near Miss by thanking some of my supporters. As always, a big thank-you to the three readers who inspired the characters of Rorie, Ezekiel, and Eirie: Thank you Victoria, Biohazard, and Maridel for your unending support. I'd also like to acknowledge the other authors of the "writing hub": MajaDB, Printiel, Jimcifer, Victoria, Maridel, Mikhail, and Mayon. Big thank you to Maja for getting me interested in publishing on Wattpad- I wouldn't be here without you. Congratulations to Queen of the Nerds and Paragon of Life, who earned special sneak peeks by inviting several people to my writing server. And, last but not least, thank you to everyone who's supported me on the Discord. Funny enough, you guys are still my entire social life...
