Almost Finished!

 ARC reader that said "The book would have been much better without that mention at the back of the book. Today I finished the last chapter of the last book of the Surface series. My alien romance that was supposed to just be about two species trying to survive, in different ways, turned out to be about a struggle of racism, a centuries-long cover-up, genocide (very lightly), and even a pandemic. The book was finished in February and went out to ARC readers in March. Right before COVID was even a real concern. Before quarantines. And before the murder of George Floyd.

​Upon its release, I had a mention at the back of why Black Lives Matter, including names of those who had died (that I could find) at the hands of police in recent years. I didn't advertise it, I didn't tell anyone about it, but got one review from ​an ARC reader that said "The book would have been much better without that mention at the back of the book. ​

That I should remember that there were also Irish Slaves." I replied to her with a single sentence that said "Thank you for reading, but I'll keep the mention as you might be the target market needing it's reminder." 

I didn't have the energy or drive to finish the last book for a few years, as you can already tell, but I did during the time of ICE harming and killing US Citizens, Black and White. A president ignoring the constitution and violating human rights on the daily.

I really hope I did the story justice and satisfied the readers, though. As much as this is a dystopian, sci-fi and fantasy series, it coincidently aligns with the crap that we're facing now, and that is intimidating. 

And so, I end this post by saying, thank you for reading and supporting me. Sharing posts, leaving reviews, and word of mouth goes a long way to help me as a writer. ♥  ♥  ♥ ​
