I want to take a moment to thank you, my readers, for your kindness, patience, and for never giving up on this story. Your unwavering support has been a light guiding me through some of the darkest waters of my life.
Over the past four years, I’ve faced three profound losses that have shaped my heart and soul in ways I’m still learning to understand. One of those losses was quite recent, and its weight still lingers heavily. During this time, I’ve focused on moving forward—on healing, bettering myself, improving my writing, and exploring new ways to create images to enhance our stories. Writing and creating—it’s more than a passion; it’s what brings joy to my heart and gives me purpose.
I know I’ve made mistakes along the way as a writer. I’m still learning, still growing, and I hope you’ll forgive any missteps I’ve made. Your patience and understanding have allowed me the space to improve, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.
Every message, every word of encouragement, every reader who has stayed by my side and listened to these chapters has given me the strength to keep moving forward. You have no idea how much you’ve helped me, how deeply you’ve impacted my life, even without realizing it.
One day, I hope to have the means to dedicate even more time to writing and expanding these stories, to bring you the worlds and characters we’ve all grown to love in even greater detail. Until then, your support—whether through kind words, sharing my work, or simply being here—means more to me than I can say.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being here—for believing in these stories and in me. You’ve become more important to me than words can fully express.
