Thank you.

I’m so glad you’ve considered reading my first novel. I hope you thoroughly enjoyed it, and if not, I appreciate the time you’ve taken to consider my words. I love any and all critiques — they help me become a more well-rounded author.

If you’d like to know what I’m working on next, just ask. If you have any ideas or want to guess, that’ll be fun too. Maybe you can be the inspiration.
