HEART OF GOLD | CORIOLANUS SNOW

Author's Note

Well, well, well, we made it to the end of Book 1. Yes, I do have plans for a sequel, and I tried to write it when I finished this—last February, wow—but I couldn't get going. I ended up starting a Lilith x Coryo (Corith???) AU that I may publish in due course but I didn't finish that either before I got inspired for the Tom Blyth fic, which will be up next! Make sure you hop over and check out WINDFALL.

I understand there's rather a huge jump from the final chapter to the epilogue but I wanted to give you guys the endgame all of us (hopefully) want to see since I knew the sequel wouldn't be available for sometime. I already had plenty of scenes in my head that I thought would be in this book, but if you know me, I like my stories long winded and with the slowest burn. So, obviously, most of their dating scenes will be in the sequel.

Since I've already paused that project, I will take a look at Sunrise on the Reaping before I do anything else because I do want the timelines and Games tech to be synced up as much as possible. I do have the teaser (blurb) and prologue ready for the sequel so it'll be out in the coming week—subject to potential edits in the future.

Thank you everyone for being patient with me and sticking through 120 chapters of Lilith and Coriolanus. To think that I started writing this book in June/July 2022 when I was down with COVID and first heard of TBOSAS! (Turns out Tom Blyth also had COVID around that time, while he was filming the movie.) I did take a break in between to hop to other fics but I'm glad I came back and finished something for once.

I wasn't very regular with publishing at first, even after the movie was released, and I know that lost me quite a number of readers, so I'm grateful for everyone who tolerated me. I'm also very entertained by all of your comments whenever I have time to scroll through them—busy writing—and I hope to see you all at the Tom Blyth story!

Also, just wanted to say that I'm not a full time writer. I have day job, so I write after work, on weekends, and basically with any free time. I am by no means a fast writer either because of my brain or my style of writing—I never write everything that first comes to my head and I have to paraphrase everything—so I do hope you all understand.

You have heard enough from me now so I'm just going to leave you with this. Come chat with me on Instagram (dearcoryo) if you want to talk about the book! For readers from the future, if you can't find my handle, check my profile as I may have changed my username.

Have a great day! And remember, hope is always the only thing stronger than fear.

Always, and forever.
