Well, well, well. It appears the long-awaited Death by Deceit has been published. I honestly never imagined something like this to happen, if I'm not going to lie. I can't believe I was actually able to write a full story coherently and publish it like this. However, I must give credit where it was due as I couldn't have done it without these people.

  Firstly, shout out to my editors for helping me with potential issues with the story and grammar issues! You all are amazing for your feedback! Secondly, the test readers who took their time to read and give feedback so I can know what areas are needed to be fixed! I appreciate it so much! And lastly, the most amazing artist I know to create this stunning and spectacular cover for me! You made my vision for this book to come true!

  I am so happy and appreciative of everyone who worked with me on this journey for this to happen. I am beyond grateful for that. But, my journey as a writer does not end here. I'm already working on a book that will follow after this one, and many more to come. The book following this does not act as a prequel or sequel, but the events in this story will come to occur sometime in the following book. Stay tuned for that, as I've been working hard to crank the story out! Just a word in advance, it will not be a horror/thriller like this one. It will be classified as a romance novel (GL), just so you all know.

  I would like to personally thank all my readers making it to this point and finishing Death by Deceit. One by one, you all are making my dream come true to share my stories to the world. That is what drives my passion to keep going and pushing more books for everyone. Now then, I want to ask you a question I've been asking everyone who's read this book before publish: Do you think Shinta is really dead at the end of the story or could he have been saved by the authorities on death's door?

  I'll leave you to think about that since it is quite vague. The following book will provide the answer, however. And lastly, as provided in the title, I shall give you a bonus to look upon with the characters. (Hint: There are TWO major things to infer from this, and I will be shell-shocked if you can understand it!) Again, thank you everyone, readers, editors, and my artist, thank you all for the support on my journey and debut with Death by Deceit!
