Dear readers,
          	
          	A little while ago, my dad ended up in the hospital again, and it’s been quite hard for me to cope with everything that came with it. So I’ve decided to take a short break. I know it’s not what you’d like to hear, but my updates will be a bit less frequent for now. I just want to write again because I feel like it, not because I have to.
          	
          	Hope you understand.
          	- Anna M.

I finished book 1 and I absolutely loved it. When I was reading I was totally immersed into the story like I was there. Thank for writing your stories. I am going to start reading book 2 right away.

It’s so well plotted, every chapter felt meaningful and the characters are so likeable! Thank you for writing such a beautiful story and I am very excited to delve into the second book <33

Voting for the Wattys 2025 is now open!
          
          From today [22 September] until Sunday [28 September], you can vote for my story Shifters – The King of Wolves (Book 1)!
          
          How does it work?
          
          Simply open my book (Shifters – The King of Wolves – Book 1), pick any chapter you like, and click the star icon at the bottom of the screen to cast your vote. Only one vote per person counts during this period, so there’s no need to vote for multiple chapters in this contest, though you’re always welcome to. If you have voted for my chapters before, I’d kindly ask you to cancel your vote and submit it again. Please note: you must be logged in to your Wattpad account for your vote to be valid.
          
          If it’s not too much trouble, I would also love it if you could share my book with your friends here on Wattpad and ask them to read my book and vote on my story too. I would be forever grateful!
          
          Thank you so much for your support. And let’s keep enjoying the journey of Egon and Esmara together.

Ah okay so I’ll need to cancel and revote!

I’m beyond thrilled to share that my book, Shifters – The King of Wolves (Book 1), has been nominated for the Wattys 2025!
          
          This nomination means everything to me, and I know I could never have come this far without you. Your support, your comments, your votes, and the way you’ve embraced this story have brought it to life and given me the motivation I so badly needed when my life was turned upside down.
          
          Writing this story, engaging with all of you, and receiving your loving responses has been such a healing way to find distraction from the struggles surrounding my father’s health and my own. I can’t thank you enough. I’m certain that without you, I wouldn’t have found the strength to carry on with this journey.
          
          It would mean everything to me if you could vote for my story.  Voting is open from 22–28 September – see the link below for more info!
          
          XOXO Anna M.
          
          P.S. To celebrate, multiple (!!) updates of Shifters (Book 2) are to be expected this weekend!

          To kick things off, you’ll get a double update with the first two chapters. I’m beyond excited to finally continue Egon and Esmara’s story, and I hope you are too. I can't wait to take you back into their world!

Dear readers,
          
          It’s already been a few months since book one of Shifters was completed. My summer holiday has begun, which means book two is almost ready for publication. I’ve already written several chapters, and the storyline is completely planned out. It promises to be an even more thrilling adventure, with plenty of excitement and emotional moments. If you're thinking about re-reading book one, this might be the perfect time. I'll announce the release date soon, but for now, I'm excited to share the cover of book two with you. I hope you're looking forward to reading more about Egon and Esmara!
