Thank you for the incredible support for Echo Ridge. Knowing these stories are reaching you means the world to me.

While the world of Luma is one of luminous hope, the next story I feel compelled to write is a step into the shadows of the very near future. It’s a speculative thriller that looks at the fragility of the systems we take for granted.

It's a story that asks uncomfortable questions about where we are and where we could be heading. How thin is the line between order and oppression? And who is willing to stand up when that line is crossed?

This one feels important, and I look forward to sharing more when I can. Thank you for reading.
