We've concluded yet another journey and protocol demands that some things should be addressed and talked about.

The birth of Lake County came as a result of my own personal love for Teen-Drama shows and YA novels. So inspiration wasn't extracted from a sole source—an array of elements convened and blended to produce a satisfactory product. And I had quite a ride, writing and bringing to life all what I had sketched in the story map. The characters, most especially stay with me and just like that of every single book I've written—they’d forever be immortal as they remained engraved in my memory.

I have a bunch of people to thank for the success of this project, but unfortunately I won't be able to mention them all individually but I'm going to do collectively. So a big shout out to my family @FWC_official You guys are the best. You've been a source of inspiration, encouragement and your abundance providence of insights are immensely beneficial. I'm proud of you all, and I'd gladly beat my chest in any gathering of esteemed dignitaries and proclaim that the lot of you will go on to become African's finest in literature.

I also have to thank you, the Reeders also that stuck with this book all through. There were hiccups that plagued the schedule of updates frequently but you kept on coming back for more until the end. I love and appreciate you all no matter tribe, race or religion.

I wrote this book with the intention of making people happy and reminding them that they have life's greatest gift—friendship and shouldn't sacrifice it for anything in the world no matter how dignified such thing could be.

I'm almost done writing my next major project, but it's not going to premiere until a couple of months but I'd keep you updated. Don't remove the book from your library so you won't miss the updates. The book in question is the second in a series that focuses on conflicting, hammering romantic relationships. The first of its kind – Rebellion is on my profile. If you haven't read it, you should do so before the next one drops.

Alright, that's all for now. Remain blessed and don't forget to enjoy life amidst all the harrowing and cut throat struggles. Don't forget to post your reviews of the book on my wall.

Bye for now.
