    See You Soon, DETECTIVES!

    Hey there, DETECTIVES! DETECTIVE WRITER here to tell you all that I will be taking a small break away. First and foremost, let me start off by saying that I am so thankful for the support of every single one of you, DETECTIVES! Thank you for every comment, like, share, new follow, listen, guest requests, and so much more! Sometimes we all need to hit pause, and this is one of those times for me.

Thank you for walking this path with me. This is NOT goodbye, but it is a see you later, DETECTIVES! Thank you all, DETECTIVES! We will be back in 2026, and I can't wait to return soon, DETECTIVES!
