Writing Poker Face was a very emotional experience. Caity and Eric's story was intense and harrowing, but the thing that made it so heart-rending for me was the truth that human trafficking still happens in this world. Some of the research I did while writing this brought me to tears. It breaks my heart to think that there are people in the world—men, women and children—who are forced against their will to do all manner of things. They have no voice and are treated with no respect. It's hard not to feel a sense of helplessness. All I can really do is make people aware that slavery is a very real thing in this world today. There are organizations out there fighting against it and I support one of them financially—

. It doesn't always feel like enough, but it's something that I can do for now.

Thank you so much for investing your time in The Masks Series. It has been an honor to write it. Caity is such a beautiful character and I can't help grinning and swooning over her hot-headed boyfriend, Eric. I've cried many tears, had a few chuckles and plenty of "awwww" moments while working on this series and I will miss these guys. Thanks for being a part of their journey with me.
