to my wonderful readers of TORN APART,
first, thank you. thank you for every comment, every follow, every vote, and for all the love you’ve poured into this story. it’s been a journey—one i never expected to take—and you’ve been there every step of the way. isa will always hold a special place in my heart. she’s a part of me, and a part of this page. she’s been through so much, and in a way, she’s helped me through a lot too.
this book was my first leap into writing, and it’s been an incredible ride. but, as with all things, my focus has shifted. i’m onto other projects both on here and in my personal life, and it wouldn’t be fair to you—the amazing community that’s supported me—to leave this story hanging without a proper conclusion. i hope isa’s journey feels complete for now, even if it’s a bit bittersweet. and just know, there’s always room for her to return in the future.
for those of you waiting on requiem for the accused—it’s not gone, just paused. salem deserves the care and attention i once poured into her and carl's story, and i’ll get back to it when the time feels right. i want to fall in love with writing these stories again, the way i once did.
in the meantime, i’ve been working on my ongoing book, violent delights, which has truly reignited my passion for storytelling. it’s been refreshing, and i hope some of you might enjoy it too.
to every single one of you—whether you’ve been here from the beginning or joined along the way—thank you. your support means the world to me. i’m sorry to end isa’s story so abruptly, but it’s not goodbye forever. it’s just goodbye for now.
with love and gratitude,
