End-of-year thanks

Just a note to say:

Thank you, wonderful Goodreads community, for your support of The Unseen World and my other books as well. It's been so nice to hear from you and get to know some of you.

I hope you find some time to relax amidst the end-of-year chaos.

As for me: I'm hard at work on my next project, and I can't wait to share it soon.

Best wishes, Happy New Year, goodbye 2017.
