A Word from the Keeper

Welcome to my world — a place where stories are whispered through candlelight and love refuses to be forgotten. Whether you’ve come to read a letter, submit one, or simply wander through the archives, you are deeply welcome here.

This space is part story, part sanctuary. Below, you’ll find the formal terms that help me protect both your heart… and mine.

With care,
April Marie Light
Author & Keeper of the Society of Lost Letters
