Finally, to all the readers: Thank you so much for all your support. One of the great privileges of Friends & Fiction over the past year, as well as so many of the virtual events I did in 2020–21, was finally getting to meet and interact with so many of you. Please know how much you all mean to me. Writing is, by nature, rather solitary, but you remind me every single day of the potential power and reach of words. Thank you for picking up this book, sticking with me, and for being the kind of people who find worlds within the pages, and who open your minds and hearts to stories. I hope to meet more of you this year at virtual chats and maybe even at in-person events. And please do drop by Friends & Fiction (www.Facebook.com/groups/FriendsandFiction), my website (www.KristinHarmel.com), or my Facebook page (www.Facebook.com/KristinHarmelAuthor) to say hi; it’s always such a pleasure to connect. Thanks so much for reading The Forest of Vanishing Stars, and please stay safe and well.
