Author's Note

Sigh.

Have you ever felt that you have to go but cannot make that first step?

That is how I feel today. 

Cassy and Caleb’s story has ended, yet I feel sad at the thought of saying goodbye. 

I started this story December 2023, and since then, it has brought me so many firsts:

     *  First book with more than 200 chapters,

     *  First book with 200k+ words,

     *  First book with a banner promotion,

     *  First book with highest reads at 70.2k to date, and 

     *  First highest-grossing book.

This book wouldn’t reach those milestones if it weren’t for you.  So, on this page let me thank some of the people who left their marks in my book: 

First is my editor Lyra Pinter.  Thank you for the patience, support and tips you provided to make this book where it is at the moment. Also for GoodNovel. This platform gave me the opportunity to reach out to more audience. 

Thank you for the gems Chi, Lean Cantara. Jennifer Gonzales, Lhyn, Susan, Yolly Villanueva, Maria Theresa Santome, Joan Godlewski, veronicaescanlada30 and captainobvious34.  (Top 10 gem contributors)

I always look forward to your comments because I love hearing your thoughts on the progress of the story.  It also helps me see my work in a different light; and honestly, your comments make my day. Some, I find hilarious, some I find worth taking stock, and some simply inspires me to become better each day.

Thank you everyone. I will forever be grateful. 

Love,
