I want to take a moment to thank you for spending several hours of your valuable time with me, with these characters, in this world. I hope you enjoyed the story and will come back again for a re-read some time. I’d be forever grateful if you’d consider leaving a review. Words—yours, mine, everyone else’s—are incredibly powerful and, for an author, they’re pearls of great price. The lifeblood of what we do. So if you’d take just a minute to jot a few so that someone else might be led to a book they love, I’d be thrilled.
