Dear Reader,
When I first wrote this book back in 2019, I hadn't yet been educated thoroughly on LGBTQ+ rights, trans, and other nuances that exist within the community. Hence, I couldn't tell the difference between sexual orientation and gender identity. Now having made friends with some amazing people from the community who have graciously held my hand and enlightened me on their experiences, I have realized the err of my ways.
My character Kora because of this, I fear is not properly represented in this series, but I am taking active measures to fix and flesh out everything from the first draft.
I love Kora's character, arguably a favorite. And I appreciate the kind efforts of both my readers and friends in pointing out insensitivities that either harm or perpetuate false perceptions of the community. Know that I do not bear any ill will or malicious intent upon writing this book and would appreciate if you could kindly point me to areas of improvement in the foreseeable future.
While I haven't yet rectified this book, know I take editing seriously.
Thank you for your kindness and keeping an open heart.
Welcome to Deathsworn!
UPDATE January 29, 2020: I have begun uploading a revised edition to the series. Chapters with the : symbol instead of the infinity symbol are the new chapters. This isn't a simple edit, but an overhaul, with some plot changes and scene deletion/addition. I was tempted to keep this revision for premium website members, but as the first book, I decided it needed to be the best version it could be. Free or not.
UPDATE October 29, 2019: a WEBCOMIC has been planned for this series and will be uploaded on Webtoon on February 20, 2020.
UPDATE July 4, 2019: I have been approached by the Wattpad Team for an offer to join their Paid Writers Program (a paywall). I decided to turn them down. Please rest your hearts that this series will remain free on Wattpad. There were also restriction clauses that would not work with my plans for this series, so I didn't think it was for me.
