To everyone who took the time to enter the recent promotion on goodreads giveaway, I want to extend a simple but sincere thank you. For the recent promotion, one hundred copies were released through the platform. That number allows the book to circulate among readers who might not otherwise have encountered it, but it also means many interested participants inevitably miss out.

Silence Called Me is not a standalone narrative but the opening volume of a larger arc. The broader series follows characters moving through landscapes shaped by espionage, geopolitics, and personal fracture. The story builds gradually, not through spectacle alone but through consequence and accumulation. Readers who step into the first volume often find that the narrative continues to widen as the series unfolds.

One unexpected outcome of the recent promotion has been the level of interest the book received shortly after the giveaway listing appeared. The response from readers has been larger than anticipated. While it is not possible to distribute unlimited copies through such programs, the interest itself has been encouraging and has helped bring the book to readers who might never have encountered it otherwise.

Because of this response, I am planning an additional opportunity for interested readers in the near future. For a limited period, a special reader window will open in which the book will be available at a reduced price. The intention is simple: if the premise or atmosphere of the story caught your attention but you were unable to obtain a copy through the promotion, there will still be a clear path for you to explore it.

And to everyone who paused long enough to look at the book—even briefly—thank you.

Stories find their readers in their own time.
