From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I'm not trying to be dramatic here, but I can confidently say, without any shame, that I cried while writing the last few chapters. And I would probably cry while writing this too—I wasn't going to make this letter, but here I am.
I am going to be very intimate with you, and I do hope you've read the entire book.
The truth is, it's really been an adventure for me. Villain Retirement was four years of my life—and I have to say, as much as Riley almost didn't grow as a person, I didn't either.
Throughout these four years, I made a lot of mistakes and then did them again and again.
I even fell out of love with writing in that span of time, and honestly, I might not even be back yet.
