Hi All,

I am so grateful to readers and folks who have written me about Light From Uncommon Stars and my other books. Usually, I respond as soon as I can because those messages make me so excited and happy and grateful

But it’s been a rough few weeks. My mother’s health had been fading.

And on Monday night, my mother passed away. I am so happy that she is finally at peace.

However, there is a lot to do, and I am kind of on autopilot right now, so I might not be able to respond as quickly as I would like. I thank you so much for your understanding.

Also, I’m not going to be able to read any manuscripts through the rest of the year, either. My apologies and gratitude for your understanding.

If something is book/publishing related and is very important, might you please contact my agent, Meredith Kaffel Simonoff?

Thank you.

Love,
Ryka
