As the year draws to a close, I want to pause and offer my heartfelt thanks to every reader who has stepped into my world of mystery, suspense, and shadows. 

Your curiosity, your thoughtful messages, and your love for stories filled with secrets and twists have meant more to me than words can fully express. Writing mysteries is often a solitary journey — but knowing you are out there, turning pages and uncovering clues, makes it deeply rewarding. 

Whether your holidays are quiet and reflective or alive with the warmth and chaos of family gatherings, I hope this season brings you moments of rest, comfort, and intrigue — perhaps alongside a gripping read or two. 

The coming year holds new stories waiting to be told. More tension. More secrets. More heart-pounding moments I cannot wait to share with you. 

Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and a thrilling, unforgettable New Year. 

With gratitude,

Echo Sable
