thankyou for coming!

From the bottom of our hearts, we wish to extend our deepest gratitude to each of you who joined us for the launch of Hotel Goodbyes. Your presence was not merely about attendance; it was about the warmth and spirit you brought, which illuminated the evening and made it profoundly special.

This event was not just a milestone for the book – it was a celebration of connections, of stories shared and new bonds formed. Seeing so many familiar faces and greeting new friends reminded us of why we embark on these creative journeys: to bring together a community that finds joy and meaning in sharing story.

The laughter, the applause, and even the hard emotional moments will be memories that I will cherish forever. We are humbled by your support and motivated by your passion, which affirm the path we have chosen and fuel our desire to continue creating and sharing.
