Author’s Note
When I wrote The Alpha Flame, I wanted it to feel like more than just a thriller. I wanted it to start conversations, about pain, about strength, about what women carry and what they overcome. Book clubs have always been sacred spaces for me. Honest ones. Brave ones. If this guide helps your group go deeper, I’m honoured.
And if your club does read the book, let me know! I’d love to hear what came up.
