There is a wonderful romance competition for all of you aspiring romance novelists. The Harlequin's So You Think You Can Write Contest. Yes it may be blatantly stealing its name from a dance show we've all heard of but the grand prize of having multiple books published seems too tantalizing to pass up! The information is easy to find under the contest tab on the Wattpad site. Best of luck if you choose to enter!!!

Hi David, I'm a highschool student planning to major for culinary arts and journalism in college. I just found your story about your father and I can't tell you how inspiring and happy it makes me feel. I'm growing up with a father with dementia that's progressing very fast. He was in a terrible accident when he was younger. It's very interesting and insightful to grow up with a mentally and physically handicapped parent. They say his condition will progress into Alzheimer's soon. I just wanted you to know I find it very neat your telling his story, and I plan on reading your other publications soon as well. Thank you for writing!

I just want to say that this is the first book that I ever read on Wattpad about 4 years ago on my first account, and I hold this book dear to me. You're an amazing writer.

@ExplicitlyMe Thanks for the incredibly kind comment. I just starting writing again after a long hiatus. I hope to seek a traditional publishing deal but if I do manage to nab the holy grail of writing achievement, that lofty publishing deal you'll be sure I'll broadcast it on wattpad. Thanks again!

@_LunaSkywalker Hey luna... I kind of fell off the face of the planet... Having a baby will do that to you. I'm desperately just now trying to get back into writing again. I'm sorry I never got to look at your work but I barely have time to write. All my best and I hope you find all the success you can hope for.

@davidbaird Yes! I have to admit, Adam did grow on me...lol I already miss reading your book. I'm such a fast reader, that when I get to the ending, I regret reading it so fast. Have you thought of writing a part 2? I'd be the first to read it... :) Happy Holidays to you too David!
