@Yellow-undies This honestly means so much to me, thank you. Comments like this are a huge part of what makes writing feel worthwhile because sometimes you spend so much time alone in your own head with these characters and stories that you never really know how they’ll connect with people.
            I love that you went from Their Ballerina to Lockwood because they really are complete opposites in so many ways. One is dark, violent, twisted, and emotionally heavy, while the other leans more into comfort, love, and healing. Being able to write both sides of that emotional spectrum is something I genuinely enjoy, so hearing that you connected with both means more than I can properly put into words. Thank you for taking the time to read all of them and for leaving such a thoughtful comment. Support like this honestly keeps me motivated on the hard writing days. And I’m very excited for the next Lockwood generation book too. ❤️

@Dreya60  Oh my goodness, this might be one of the loveliest messages I’ve ever received ❤️ Thank you so much for such kind words.
            
            I had to laugh because YES—I absolutely remember you being the one who kept asked me on Inkitt  when I was finally going to write an MxM story with no woman in the middle.  Hahaha. That genuinely made me smile because clearly you were persistent enough to lodge yourself in my memory too 
            
            And confession time… MM is absolutely one of my guilty pleasures too ❤️ I just keep hesitating because if I do a full-length story, I’d want to do it properly and really do the characters and relationship justice, rather than half-arse it because I’m out of my comfort zone.
            
            That said… I have been quietly working on a novella with Connor and Max from my Lockwood Series.   So if readers enjoy that, it may very well inspire me to dip my toes further into that particular pool 
            
            Day Job, well,  I was a psychologist back in the UK , but since moving to Portugal life has shifted quite a bit. Learning a new language has definitely made me take a bit of a back seat career-wise, and these days I’m focusing more on grief counselling, which feels like meaningful work in a very different way ❤️
            
            And Pakistan! How amazing... I love that this crazy writing world lets us connect with people from all over the globe. The thought of someone in Pakistan taking the time to reach out to me, honestly makes my heart ridiculously happy.
            
            Thank you for your beautiful wishes—I’m sending every one of them right back to you, with interest ❤️ May your days also be filled with tiny pockets of joy, good books, and all the happy surprises.
            
            And I’ll gladly accept the bear hug and cheek kiss. ❤️

@Dreya60 Hey ❤️❤️ Aww, this was such a lovely message to wake up to—thank you for thinking of me and reaching out!  Yep, I’m still hanging around here and over on Inkitt, though I tend to post a few more stories there these days. Wattpad sadly deleted a couple of my stories for supposedly violating their terms, so that took a bit of the shine off posting in Wattpad, but hey-ho.
            And wow—you might actually be the first reader who’s followed me over. Unless the others are all secretly lurking and keeping quiet, haha.
            Anyway I really appreciate you saying hello. It’s always so lovely hearing from readers, especially ones who’ve been around a while ❤️
            Anyway, back to the day job. Have an awesome day wherever you are in the world. Take care xo

@Selly_JJ_ Sorry I've only just spotted this message.  I've almost finished Their Ballerina and then I promise I will finish Hard as Stone.  I wont apologise again for keeping you waiting because those apologies weren't followed up, which I feel bad about.  I wouldn't mind but HAS is close to the end also, as some of the story will carry on into the next book, which I won't start till I can commit fully as I've really screwed over my reader with this book.  Anyway, I will stop waffling now. Take care xo

@opesco173 Awe, thank you so much for your kind message. I’m really glad you enjoyed the stories, and it means a lot to hear that High Stakes was your favourite. Knowing the story inspired you, especially as a new writer, is genuinely encouraging to hear.
            Writing can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a little disheartening at times when readers aren’t always kind. The best advice I can give is to stay true to yourself and write the kind of stories you would love to read. That way you can always be proud of what you’ve created, and there will always be readers out there who connect with your work. Wishing you the very best with your own writing journey. Keep going and enjoy the process.

@PinkLadyBackHome I’m so sorry for not replying sooner — I honestly didn’t see your message, but I’m really glad I’ve found it now.
            Thank you for taking the time to write this. Knowing you’ve read all of my books over the last couple of weeks is incredible in itself, but what you shared about them being a gift to you truly touched me. That’s exactly why I keep my stories free — because stories should be accessible, especially when they offer someone an escape or a bit of comfort.
            Your words mean more to me than you probably realise, and they’re the kind of encouragement that stays with a writer long after the page is closed. Thank you for reading, for being here, and for your kindness.
            I promise I’ll keep writing for as long as I have stories to tell. Take care, Chrissy xoxo

@ElleRivers Hey, thanks for getting in touch.  Now, yeah, have to finish off Their Ballerina and Hard as Stone before I commit to the next Lockwood books but when I do then I will most likely write two at the same time, and stay inside the Lockwood world for a while, but its gonna be at least a couple of months, sorry!  Take care, Chrissy xoxo

@Fatal_life Heeeey sweetie, awe thank you.  This years birthday kinda got sidelined as we moved house again.  We moved countries a few months back and the rented house we had was one problem after another so we moved again - on my birthday!!!  Then two days later my cat (17yrs old) died suddenly, so its been a sad and crazy time lately.  Hope all good with you, whatcha upto?  and I see it's birthday eve for you, so I will pop onto your profile and delivery official birthday wishes then!  xoxoxo

@Chrissyvellis I’m happy to wait love the series sm. ❤️

@Carly-Hale   Hey, sorry I didn't see your message.  My next Lockwood book will hopefully kick off soon, its Delilah, Nix and Trip's book and its running wild in my head so I'm excited to get it started.  I also have a couple of shorter Lockwood books I need to get written, honestly I will be writing lockwood books for the next few years, lol.  Thanks for reaching out and reading my books.  Take care, Chrissy xo

Don’t stress yourself out I’m thankful that you write you’re story’s for us for free. 

@Selly_JJ_ No...I'm working on the chapter now, should be up by weekend, I know I'm a pain the ass for keeping you waiting and not posting regularly,  but I will try to stick to weekly because there ain't many chapters left and I annoy myself that I don't have enough hours in the day!  Thanks for your patience xoxo
