Hello all,
          	
          	I am deleting all of my Rick Thane stories by the 5th of September. So, you have a week to read them.
          	
          	I'm not sure whether I will publish them or not, but it's far from my mind to do this as I have my last Tattoo Trilogy book to publish next year.
          	
          	I won't be announcing anything else after this. It's been fun on Wattpad in the past, but it's not fun any more. Enough is enough now. 
          	
          	Good luck to all those who are writing on here and readers, I hope you find some amazing work as there are diamonds on this site that always get overlooked.
          	
          	Take care all,

@ AE_KIrk  Hi, I just want to thank you for writing the Rick Thane series. The Cursed Hill was the first horror story i ever read and i loved it so much that the moment i read the last page i went back to the start just to read it again before I'd start reading book 2. I spoke to everyone i knew about this story, wondering why it wasn't worldwide known!! It truly breaks my heart to see you had to delete the whole series, i kept on wishing you'd get published so that i could buy the books. While I feel like crying thinking about how i might not get to read those books ever again, I really just want to thank you for writing them in the first place.

Hello everyone,
          
          I am no longer writing or updating on this website. 
          
          Thank you to everyone who has been a fan/follower of my stories since I started back in 2011. It was great speaking with and meeting some of you in person and signing my books for you. I will continue to write but never put my work on a writing platform.
          
          I wish everyone the best of luck in writing on this website. 
          
          Take care

@AE_KIrk Good Luck Abi! Does that also mean you will be leaving Wattpad soon? Good Luck then with your future endeavors!

Hi all,
          
          Got a bit of a "big" announcement. I am taking down my "Rick Thane" series. I've found out that two of my books have been stolen and they have changed the title of the books and the characters, but the rest is all mine, even the spelling mistakes!
          I'm so, so tired of people stealing my work and trying to get money off the books when I can't and don't. I've never got a literary agent or a publisher and have failed repeatedly to gain either (sorry I'm dyslexic!)- so, I'm giving up. It's too much hassle and too much money getting my lawyers involved. I'll be having a chat with Wattpad as my Rick Thane series are part of "Wattpad Originals". When I get the go-ahead, they are all coming down and won't ever be put up on any website/platform. I'm so sorry, but I truly have had enough of people stealing my stories. I've spent YEARS on them and I am so done. 
          
          If people don't steal my other works, I'll continue to update them. 
          
          Cheers.

I feel absolutely gutted for you. It takes a lot of work to write a story and words when you have disability such as yourself and  personally having dyslexia myself; I know how devastating this is for you

It is very disappointing to know that someone has stolen your story and just change the title of their story. To know this feels very threatening to Wattpad writers. Is this even a safe place to write on? I have been writing on here for a few years and didn’t even come across my mind that someone will actually steal your work until I came across this page now.  What pad must fix this problem as a company of this platform they should and I feel like it is their responsibility to create a safe environment and placed for their writers to actually write on this platform and not have to worry about their work being stolen. I am shocked and now i am  worried about my books. I have written and poems.

@AE_KIrk Woah, did I hear that right? That person wants YOU TO BE FLATTERED THAT SHE STOLE YOUR BOOK ... umm she must be crazy and out of her mind! I don't think she would say that if you pretended to be a police officer, lawyers who can sue her for copyright infringement (given the fact you have evidence). That's one excuse I just heard of ... and let me guess this person must  be a teenager or young adult in her 20's just starting out ... no rules whatsoever! I'd be dammed if they are from those countries that had mirror sites or don't believe in the copyright law. So immature ... it's like when my stupid classmate copied my math homework just because.Sheesh!

Hello all,
          
          I want to say thank you to all of you who have followed my work since the year dot and who bought my books and still supported me. It really does mean a lot :)
          
          The last book, Scar of the Centaur, in the Tattoo Trilogy, will be out next year! So excited, since I started writing the book in 2010- 15 years in the making for the entire trilogy. 
          
          Also, I will upload a few more chapters on Ravens book 3 this evening.
          
          Enjoy your day!
