Sorry for the issues and lack of updates. i'm dealing with a lot right now and have put my book on a hold. I'm not sure when I will get it finished and published but I don't have a lot of time right now to mess with any of it.

Things are on hold as I'm having trouble concentrating on editing. It's going to take some time guys. Just wanted to give an update.

My Kidnapper Likes Me is out of the content evaluation stage and has officially gone into the editorial assessment stage. That will take around a month. 
          In other good news Going Back has finally been unclogged in my brain. I will be posting the first ten chapters shortly!!
          Love you babes!!!!

I spoke with my team leader. Things are on track guys! Tomorrow I will be emailing the entire book over. I'm still in step one which is fine but I can't wait to get my book officially published.

I have good news and bad news. I want to give the good news first but I'm hoping by the bad news the good news will make you guys not hate me so much. 
          Bad News: I am so sorry Going back has not been published yet. I have terrible writers block right now and can not for the life of me get things right. 
          Good news: My Kidnapper Likes Me is going to be officially published. I started the process yesterday!!!!! I am so excited! It will take a while to get the book published but I will keep you guys updated throughout the process! MWAH!

Check out My Kidnapper Likes Me! Going Back is still underway I have just been having a hard time with a chapter and the correct wording but it's coming. It's these two chapters for me to finish before I publish the first 10 chapters of Going Back.

I'll be updating almost everyday but with the sequel Going Back I will be waiting until I have 10 chapters finished before I post them. So keep an eye out and I have a greek mythology type book I am working on also. That is mainly just getting the idea out and typed up. I don't know what I will be doing with it but my main focus is the sequel Going Back.

Here's an excerpt from Going Back, enjoy!
          
          I was on autopilot for a while when he would cook me dinner but Mackenzie came over one day and walked into my room. "Athea, there is a man out there cleaning and cooking for you. I know you love Ryan and he broke your heart. He's a bastard for that and I'm so sorry. But that man out there," I saw her point her finger out my bedroom door indicating to Mark," really cares about you and honestly you need to wake up and get with the program." 
          
          "I know Mack." I said sighing. "I just....I don't want to give him hope for anything because of Ryan. I mean what if Ryan comes back?" I was picking at my nails telling her. I couldn't even look at her.
          
          "Athea! He's not coming back. You do know this right? It is going on a year since he left you with no word or even consideration. Wake up and realize that man out there has been doing so much for you and you've been so damn depressed and broken to pay a lick of attention to him." Mackenzie was holding my face in her hands and squishing my cheeks together. "Ryan is not coming back okay!" She stalked out of my room and a few minutes later the door slams. She must have talked to Mark for a few minutes.

I finished editing My Kidnapper Likes Me!!!! Check it out guys!!!!

What does the light blue color on the demographics map mean? I'm so confused because USA is dark blue but Turkey and Denmark are light blue. Also, why do countries disappear off the map?
