Hey everyone!
I know it's been a while. Thank you for your patience!
Quick update on where things stand:
All my Kindle novels are now available in Spanish, German, and French!
✍️ I hit a wall with writing and needed to step back, but I'm not done; I just needed fresh stories and a better routine. I'll be working part-time at Girls Inc. a few days a week, which should help a lot.
I'll be submitting Falling Stars to traditional publishers! Fingers crossed!
Here's where the stories are at:
▸ Back to Him: Pushing to finish editing by the end of the month
▸ Clearing Karma: adding Antonia's POV chapters, then back to regular posting
▸ Secrets and Lies: I hate this novel. I just need the motivation to spend a weekend banging out the last few chapters
▸ I found a lost manuscript I thought I deleted! Meet Ellie and Theo. More information in the link below!
If you've read any of my published novels on Amazon/Kindle, please leave a review! It helps so much with the algorithm.
Full update linked below!

Hey everyone,
First, I'm so sorry for missing Thursday's update. I caught the flu and basically spent Wednesday to Friday coughing, having hot and cold flashes and sleeping. I also made everyone else in my house sick, so thank you to the parents who decided their sick child's picture with the Easter Bunny was more important than everyone else's health. Really appreciate it
I also wanted to give you a heads-up that there won't be any posts this week. Between naps, I was thinking about Clearing Karma’s storyline, and I’m really not happy with it. At first, I was thinking, “It’s a first draft, just get it down, you can adjust it when you edit it later.”
But that thinking is making it hard to write. I don’t like how it’s mostly focused on the investigation rather than Maverick and Antonia, so I’m going to take this week to sit down and figure out what needs to change. This might mean adding chapters, expanding existing ones, or completely rewriting what’s already been done.
I'd rather take the time to get it right than rush something out that doesn't feel true to the story. Thank you so much for sticking with me. I'll be back soon!

@CeeHope I get it. I made that mistake before, and there's nothing more frustrating. I really try not to abandon the stories, and I will finish Clearing Karma; I just had to step back for a bit and figure out why I was struggling. I posted an update and will hopefully have the new chapters posted next week.

Ok, that answered my question I came here for. I am recently new to Wattpad and I just finished Karma’s Kiss and absolutely loved it. I went to start the sequel clearing karma then I noticed it hadn’t been updated in a while. I did not want to start it and then been disappointed that it had been abandoned. That is the biggest negative I found about this platform, I’m learning look check for dates before I get invested.

OMG! I didn’t even read the first in the trilogy - just straight to Back to HIm. But let me tell you BtH was BRILLIANT!!!!! Now I need to go to Amazon and buy Evie’s Story! I can’t wait for all of them to be available for my Kindle!! Thank you!
CharmingArachnid
Happy Easter! I hope the Easter Bunny brought lots of chocolate!
Sorry about my posting schedule. I took on a two-week contract helping out with Easter Bunny Photos with friends of mine, and I did my best to write and preschedule chapters to go up, but by the end, I was exhausted. Far too many people and screaming children.
I'll make up for missing last Thursday's post by posting two on Tuesday, and then we'll be back to the regular schedule.

Hey! Love your books, binged two already! But I’m slightly confused about the trilogy (Back to) that’s on here? What’s the reading order as book one i the shortest and book three completed?
KarinFransisca2024
@CharmingArachnid thank you for the explanation! I might just wait till you’ve published all three before I read them all, then!

@KarinFransisca2024 Thank you so much! The Trilogy order is: Evie's Story, Before Him and Back to Him. Evie's Story is available in full on Amazon. The trilogy is confusing (right now) for a couple of reasons: 1. All these novels were on Wattpad before; I took them down because they were being stolen, and just recently reposted them. 2. Back to Him was written first, and it started as a Marvel Fanfiction, which meant I didn't need back stories for the characters. People asked me for more information, so I ended up writing Evie's Story and Before Him as prequels/backstories. There wasn't much to them. 3. I'm in the process of editing and revising the trilogy for publication, and many changes and adjustments are being made. Evie's Story, for example, went from 42 chapters and just over 42,000 words to 60 chapters and something like 126,000 because I expanded on so much. 4. Because Evie's Story has been published on Amazon. I can only use the first 10,000 words as promotion, which is why it's so short.
