Author's Note

Hi everyone,

Message of Thanks

Firstly, I'd like to thank all of you for showing so much support for Scarlet Heart!

I know that behind each of the 21.2k views, 743 votes (as of the time of writing this) and comments here is someone engaged in the storyline, and behind every "add to a reading list" there is someone who has deemed the story worthy of revisiting. I truly appreciate every show of love and support for this story; thanks to you guys, Scarlet Heart has garnered more views, votes and rankings that I could ever imagine it would. Scarlet Heart is only the second story that I've ever written, and seeing it achieve so much popularity has given me so much confidence and faith in my writing.

Both myself and co-author Devilrin are incredibly touched and grateful. We will both work harder to write better stories for your reading pleasure!

Future Plans

For those of you who are already missing Scarlet Heart, fret not! I will continue writing stories, feel free to check them out:

"Just Watch: I'll Be Your Man" is a lighthearted tale of young boys with crushes, that was heavily inspired by mine and FirelightShadow's experiences of trying and failing at finding romance. It is perfect for light and casual reading in the approaching summer, and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face! If you enjoyed it, please also check out the sequel, "Just Watch: I'll Give It To You".

If you can read Chinese, 紫禁佳人望晴曦 is the story of a young woman's journey through the treacherous Qing dynasty harem, and her growth into a formidable powerhouse— the drama doesn't disappoint and it is set in the same time era as Scarlet Heart!

I will also be releasing a new story "Creating Home" in September 2019. It showcases impressions of a teenage boy as he attends boarding school, and how he creates 'home away from home' in the company of friends that he has chosen to become family. I don't want to give away too much yet, but here's are some of my favourite lines from the story:

"As the first leaves turn brown on the hazel trees lining the sidewalks of London, Jeon Jungkook arrives at Heathrow Airport with a suitcase of belongings almost bigger than he is."

"In each other, they relentlessly chase the intangible shadows of family that they left behind across the miles."

I hope you are looking forward to reading Creating Home as much as I am looking forward to sharing it with you all!

Do feel free to leave me messages and comments if you have any questions or just want to chat— I am sorry that I have been slow to reply, but I will do so as soon as I can.

Once again, many thanks for the love and support!

Love,

Crystal
