Dear reader,

It's been a joy to write this book, and I'm a bit sad it has come to an end. I'm happy to have shared this story with you, and it's kind of crazy that I've already finished book three in a ten-part series. Also, this is the fourth book I'm finishing this year, so color me shocked.

The Artist has been something I've been excited to write since I started planning out the series. I'm an art junkie, so that's expected, and I do hope some of the language I used wasn't overly technical or anything.

The story might have been from Caleb's perspective, but I really wanted to capture Toby as a person and I hoped I did that to a satisfactory level. There's a reason why assault is extremely under-reported, many people who've gone through it either feel it's their fault, or don't really understand to a full extent what exactly happened to them.

So yes, a lot of assault victims don't know they've been assaulted. I hope I was able to explain that confusion on Toby's part, and I know it's an ambiguous ground to discuss why people forgive those that have done this to them, so I've left it as an open end for interpretation to why Toby forgave Brendan.

I know most of my writing is angsty and emotional, but I hope that I'm able to appeal to the right ones when discussing the issues I bring up along the way in my stories.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the story altogether. I loved writing this book, and I loved the characters. I hope you feel the same way about them.

Always grateful for your support,

Saintc.

Decisions and Mayhem [Completed/Humor/Teen Fiction/22 Parts]

Antonio Martinez has a hard time fitting in. For one he wasn't born in the USA and as a result has a funny accent the kids at school make fun of. New money was looked down on in his private school, and the former top of the class had it out for him for stealing her spot.

Antonio didn't think things could get any worse until his mother asked the son of her long-term boyfriend to keep an eye on him and his siblings - in other words, become their permanent babysitter.

And that was how Antonio's social life was completely ruined.
