Hi Everyone! Just wanted to put a reminder out there that I will be removing the majority of the chapters when the book launches on Amazon tomorrow (7/21/26).  Today will be the last day to read the full story on Wattpad. I want to thank everyone who has followed the story on this platform.

          A bonus chapter that takes place immediately after the last chapter of book 1 is going to be going out to my subscribers soon after the launch of the book on Amazon, so be sure to sign up if you want to see what happens to Paul next.

Hi! Just wanted to let everyone know that I have made a few changes in the early chapters. These are changes that I had already made in my manuscript that I am publishing on Amazon when the book launches later this month, but I decided to go ahead and make those updates here as well. 
          
          If you are interested in checking it out - the biggest change is that Dr. Flaboom now makes his first appearance in chapter 1

The final chapters of Safety First have been published! Thank you to those who have followed the story! I will be moving the book to Amazon on July 21, until then it will be available here on Wattpad.  At that time, I plan to start posting chapters from book 2, which is well underway.  In the meantime, if you would like to get access to bonus chapters covering the events immediately following Safety First, sign up for my mailing list here -> https://r-k-patrick.kit.com/70b87be371

Hi Everyone! We are in the home stretch of my novel, Safety First. I wanted to say thank you to those of you who have stuck with the story so far. I will be posting  the last four chapters this week, one per day starting on Monday. I will also be sharing a special announcement following the final chapter. Hope you enjoy the ending!

Chapter 35 is now published! Paul finally steps beyond the tower walls — into a world that’s brighter, louder, and far more dangerous than he expected. Dr. Flaboom’s charm starts to crack, and Paul reaches the moment that will decide whether he can actually follow through with the mission…

Hello R. K. Patrick,
          
          I hope you're doing well.
          
          I recently came across *Safety First* and wanted to reach out because the story genuinely caught my attention, and after spending some time with the story, I felt it was worth reaching out.
          
          I run Hayes Literary, a platform dedicated to spotlighting indie authors and helping readers discover engaging stories. Your work struck me as the kind of story that readers would enjoy discovering and following.
          
          I'd love to potentially feature *Safety First* in an upcoming author spotlight or reader discovery piece. If you have other works you'd prefer to highlight, I'd be happy to learn more about them as well.
          
          No pressure at all, I simply wanted to reach out because your work left a positive impression on me.
          
          If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, feel free to send me a message anytime.
          
          Best regards,
          Hayes Literary

Chapters 33 and 34 have dropped!  
          Paul’s escape plan collapses before it even begins…but the world outside the tower is more beautiful (and more dangerous) than he ever imagined.

Chapter 31 has been published! The goodbyes continue as Paul has one last emotional visit with his grandfather. Drop in and see the final send off with the person who lit the spark in Paul before he takes the leap of faith.

Chapters 29 & 30 are now live!  
          Paul’s world cracks open in the rain… and the next morning, he finally tells someone the truth he’s been carrying alone.
          These two chapters are the emotional heart of the story — loneliness, faith, fear, and the kind of friendship that survives even the hardest goodbye.
          Dive in and tell me what hit you the hardest.
