I sincerely apologize for unpublishing Familiar Stranger. I realized that I was not at my best when I wrote it, and it showed in the outcome. I am now working on improving the story, because I admit—I made significant mistakes in its execution. It felt too brief, too disorganized, and marked by uncertain shifts in writing style. The truth is, I was still in the process of discovering my style and experimenting with how I wanted to tell write stories and how to deliver it effectively. Familiar Stranger was the very first book I dared to publish after years of remaining in the shadows, and in many ways, it reflected both my eagerness and my uncertainty as a writer.
I hope you understand. Good night and keep safe, everyone.
