Author’s Note

Dear reader,

Before you dive in, you should know that Fang Fiction tells the story of a sexual assault survivor who begins to heal from her trauma in the usual way: love from her friends, support from her community, and a magical adventure with very sexy vampires. I’ve taken care to avoid any graphic descriptions or triggering language, and my hope is that this will be a joyful and empowering read. All the same, if you’re in active trauma, you may want to proceed with caution.

If you need support, you can call the National Sexual Assault Hotline for free, confidential counseling anytime at 1-800-656-4673 (other resources are available at rainn.org), and Psychology Today has a very good directory of therapists who specialize in trauma counseling. No matter your situation, I strongly urge you to learn more about resources in your community, donate to support them if you’re able, and vote to elect leaders who are passionately committed to ending gender-based violence.

Okay, now let’s get to the vampires, shall we? I hope you have a fabulous time reading Fang Fiction—and remember, never be ashamed to ask for what you need.

All my love,

Kate
