When I first imagined The Moon Goddess and the Wolf, it lived not so quietly in my head and my heart.

It wasn't a product.

It wasn't a release date.

It wasn't a sales number.

It was a world.

Today, that world travels in many forms - paperback shipped across provinces and oceans, eBooks opened in countries I've never visited, and now, a carefully wrapped press copy sent with gratitude.

This box was prepared as a personal thank you - from author to storyteller - for someone who is helping this book reach new listeners. Not every copy ships this way, but every single one carries the same intention: care, love, and belief in the story.

The balk ribbon.

The silver flourish.

The words "Step Through the Veil".

They are a reminder that stories are meant to move - from one heart to another.

And this is only the beginning.
