I'm struggling to find the right words to describe how I feel right now. The launch of The Shadow Within has been an absolute whirlwind of emotions, and the number one thing overwhelming me is a profound sense of gratitude.

When I started writing this book, it was a deeply personal project. I had no idea if anyone would resonate with my story or the message I wanted to share, or if I wanted to share the novel at all! To see this outpouring of support is astonishing. Over 5,000 people have entered the giveaway for a chance to win a signed copy, and that number keeps growing!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has ordered the book, shared their excitement on social media, or simply sent a few kind words of encouragement.

This experience has taught me the incredible power of community. I could never have reached this point without the support of friends, family, mentors, and this incredible network of like-minded individuals who have cheered me on.

Launching this book is the start of its journey, not the end. I'm excited to see where this path leads and to continue the conversations that this book inspires. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
