Gratitude series Part 2 for Diary, Deceit, and Death
Thank you for the wonderful response to Raya’s second adventure ‘Diary, Deceit, and Death’. I’m overwhelmed by the love and support from everyone who chose to purchase it, share pictures after receiving a copy, and let me know what they think of it after reading.
A few weeks ago, I began the gratitude series, thanking people who have rendered unwavering support to my dreams. I spoke about my family then. Today, I want to take this opportunity to thank my friends, who I call an extended part of my family and mentors, whose guidance helped me get better with every piece I wrote.
