I can’t stay quiet about this — The Ticket to Freedom just hit 50 downloads, and I am absolutely blown away.

Fifty readers.

Fifty journeys begun.

Fifty people stepping into David’s world and choosing to experience this story with me.

For a debut novel, this isn’t just a number — it’s momentum. It’s impact. It’s proof that the themes of identity, culture, queerness, and self-discovery are reaching the hearts they were written for.

To everyone who downloaded, shared, supported, or whispered, “You should read this”… thank you. You are the reason this story is taking flight.

And trust me — this is just the beginning.

The sequel is coming.

The world is expanding.

And the next chapter is going to hit even deeper.

Thank you for believing in this story.

Thank you for believing in me.
