A Little Note From The Author

Hi, and welcome to my story! ❤️

First of all, thank you for giving Before I Knew My Name a chance.

This is my first time writing a book, and English is not my first language. I am still learning, so there may be some mistakes along the way. I’m doing my best to improve as I write, and I’m always happy to learn from constructive feedback.

I’ve had the idea for Moya’s story in my head for a while, and I finally decided to give it a chance and put it into words. I have absolutely no idea where this journey will take me, but I’m excited to find out.

I hope you’ll enjoy getting to know Moya, Kieran, Callum, and Finn as much as I enjoy writing them.

If you notice a grammar mistake or a phrase that doesn’t sound natural in English, feel free to let me know. I’m always happy to learn and improve. ❤️

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the story.

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
