A Safe Place To Land (My Journey Series Book 1)

Author's Note

Hi Readers,

First of all, thank you so much for joining me on this journey and giving my story a chance. It truly means the world to me that you're here, ready to dive in with me!

This novel is 100% fictional. Any resemblance to real persons, events, or places is purely coincidental.

It's a dark romance with heavy, mature themes that get deeper—and darker—as the story unfolds. There are tough topics explored, including sexual assault, self-harm, abuse, stalking, addiction, trauma, violence, explicit content, and strong language. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

If you're dealing with depression, anxiety, or anything similar right now, please be gentle with yourself. This story can be really emotional and intense—it's okay to take breaks, skip scenes, or come back when you're in a better headspace. Your well-being comes first, always.

There will be signals for warnings (TW! for trigger warnings and 🍋 for intimate/explicit scenes), but some chapters get heavy overall, so listen to your limits.

That said, I highly recommend listening to the suggested tracks with the scenes—they add so much depth and pull you right into the emotions. It makes the experience even more immersive!

I'd love to hear your thoughts and positive feedback as we go (what you love, what you're hoping for next!). This story comes from a special place in my heart, so while everyone has their own opinions, please keep it respectful—no hate. This is meant to be a safe space for readers who vibe with darker stories.

If anything ever feels too much, it's totally fine to step away. Take care of yourselves.

Thank you for being here, and happy reading, friends!

P.S. Below I have linked a song by my favorite traumacore artist- SkyDxddy, you will also see some of her music in this story as well- Enjoy!

Update:

Hi readers!

First, I just want to say thank you for helping me reach 1K reads- that honestly means more to me than I can put into words. Every single view, like, and comment motivates me to keep going, and I'm so grateful you're here and choosing to spend your time with my story.

I know my upload schedule is... chaotic at best 😅 but I truly hope the longer, more detailed chapters make up for the wait. As the story continues, the chapters will naturally grow, but I promise they won't get any longer than the last one- we've officially hit my personal word-count limit.

I put so much care into every scene, really focusing on the emotions, tension, and intensity I want you to feel while reading- the same way I feel it while writing. Your support means everything to me, and I can't thank you enough for being on this journey with me. 🖤

Love, Your author
