A Note from the Author:
My stories are written to make an impression on my readers' hearts. I am constantly pushing the limits of the romance genre with creative storytelling. My aim is not only to entertain but also to inspire individuals, empowering them to embrace their own unique stories. In 2016, I excitedly began pouring my heart and soul into writing my first romance book, Perfect Pond. The words flowed onto the page like a calm stream, and I fell more in love with the story and characters with each word. It wasn't long before I published the sequel, The Pond Skater, and was welcomed into a world of endless possibilities and passionate readers. However, as an emergency dispatcher with limited time to dedicate to my writing, I decided to unpublish both books. Writing had always been more of a beloved hobby than a potential career. Years passed, but my love for the series never waned. In 2024, I revisited the pages of Perfect Pond, determined to perfect it once and for all. However, as I read through the draft of the updated version of Catching Rainey, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. It didn't feel like the most authentic version of the story I wanted to tell. This realization was the catalyst for my return to the series. So here I am again, back on track and ready to share this remarkable journey with you all. This is not just another book in a series; it's a labor of love and a tribute to my unwavering passion for storytelling. With each page turned you'll experience the magic and depth of emotions that the Perfect Pond series can ignite. Welcome to the first installment of this unforgettable series, Midnight Waters. I have unpublished all previous works to avoid misunderstandings with my readers or followers.
