25,000 Reads.
          	I’m still trying to wrap my heart around that number.
          	
          	When I began The Shadows Beneath the Mountain, it was just a quiet idea, whispers on a page, a story I carried with me in silence. I never imagined it would find its way into so many hands, so many late nights, so many hearts willing to walk these shadows with me.
          	
          	To every single reader who clicked, read, voted, commented, or simply stayed, thank you. You gave this story breath. You turned words into something alive. Your messages, theories, and emotions have meant more to me than I can ever fully put into words.
          	
          	25,000 reads isn’t just a number. It’s proof that stories still connect us, that imagination still travels, and that even shadows can be shared.
          	
          	I’m endlessly grateful for this journey and for all of you walking it beside me. Middle-Earth still has secrets, stories and adventures left to tell, and I can’t wait to keep telling them with you.

          I honestly don’t even know where to begin.
          The Shadows Beneath the Mountain has reached 20,000 reads, and I am completely overwhelmed in the best possible way.
          
          What started as a quiet idea; born from late nights, aching emotions, and a deep love for these characters, has somehow found its way into the hearts of so many of you. Every read, vote, comment, and message has meant more to me than I can properly put into words.
          
          This story is incredibly personal to me. Diana, Thorin, the world of Middle-Earth and those beneath the Mountain carry pieces of my heart, my healing, and my imagination. Knowing that you’ve walked beside them, felt their losses, their love, their sacrifices… it truly means everything.
          
          To those who comment chapter after chapter, who scream in the margins, who cry with me, who waited patiently for updates, thank you. You’ve turned writing into a shared experience rather than a lonely one, and that is a gift I will always cherish.
          
          20,000 reads feels unreal. It feels like proof that stories told with love, vulnerability, and passion can still find their people.
          
          From the depths of the Mountain and the shadows within it: thank you for being here, for reading, and for believing in this story.
          There is still more to come, and I can’t wait to share it with you!!

i just watched avatar: fire and ash and i honestly, hands down need to applaud james cameron!!
          absolutely love the avatar franchise, and they just keep getting better and better!!
          i hope there’s more in the future, but this movies ending? absolutely perfect!!!

guess who got her mother to watch the hobbit and lord of the rings!!
          all i can say is she loves legolas, and solely focuses on the movie and its plot when he’s on screen. 
          when it came to the hobbit, it was mostly legolas, and then thorin, then thranduil.
          come to lotr and its legolas, and aragorn through and through!
          
          her commentaries kill me. i need to start writing a list of every out of pocket commentary (all age appropriate) and just post them on here. because shes just too funny!
          and this is coming from someone who rarely watches any form of fantasy genre!!
          
          also book two is 1/3 of the way done! i’m writing like crazy whilst also trying to maintain a social life!
          
          until then, happy reading!!

To my wonderful chickensss,
          
          I just want to take a moment to say thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart. Hitting 15,000 reads on The Shadows Beneath the Mountain is something I never imagined, and seeing this story grow the way it has feels absolutely surreal. The support, the comments, the votes, the shares, every single one of you has made this journey unforgettable.
          
          I am eternally grateful for all the love you’ve shown my book. It’s readers like you who push me to keep writing, to keep uploading, and to dream even bigger. Your enthusiasm is the reason I’m already excited to bring you new stories as soon as possible.
          
          Thank you for believing in me, for loving my characters, for sharing in the emotions, and for giving this book a place in your hearts. You all mean more to me than you know.
          
          Here’s to many more chapters, stories, and milestones together!!

Guys, I have been working on book 2 for days, and tell me how I've written 6 long chapters, about to go onto 7?! I honestly cannot be stopped at this point! I'm writing this book 100% before I edit and upload single chapters!
          Last time it took me two weeks to write The Shadows Beneath the Mountain - I won't try to beat it, but I can assure you guys are going to love it!!
          
          P.S - I'm also writing other books that will eventually be uploaded too, so please be patient! ILYSMMMM
