Strangers Stayed Up Late With My Book

So… turns out strangers picked up Child of the Forest, stayed up late, and even left reviews on Goodreads. And they were nice ones. Like, really nice. Five-star nice.

I did not bribe them with cookies. I swear.

Honestly, I am kind of floored. When I hit publish, I half expected crickets. Instead, people are reading, finishing, and even sharing their thoughts. That is the kind of thing that makes this author grin like an idiot and dive right back into writing Book 2.

So thank you to every reader who has given this story a chance. You made my week, and you did it without even knowing me. That feels pretty magical.
