Good news! Parasomnia is once more available for purchase and with a fresh new cover! It has also come to my attention by more than one person that it can be difficult to get copies of the book shipped to certain countries. If you are having a hard time getting a copy of the book please DM either on here or on Instagram. I will make sure you get a copy.
Good morning. Just wanted to update you all about the availability of Parasomnia. Unfortunately, last night I discovered that the distributor of my work is not compensating me for ebook copies sold. They seem to have no intention to do so. As such, I have terminated the relationship with said distributor. Because of this, Parasomnia will be unavailable for purchase until I can locate a new distributor and get the process spun back up. I am hoping to have this done by December. Thank you all for your continued support. It means the world. Releasing this book as been an absolutely soul crushing experience, but in the words of the great and wise Chumbawumba, "I get knocked down, but I get up again."

Happy Saturday! If you haven’t had a chance to pickup your copy of Parasomnia yet don’t forget to head over to Amazon or any other book seller to snag one!

Work and life have been hectic but I plan to get back to working on Enemy soon. My plans are to release two books next year, so stay tuned!
@Bloominecraft05 @Bloominecraft05 I was afraid of that for a long time, which is why I never put any of my work online. However, at the end of the day, if someone is going to rip off your work, that's just what they're going to do, so don't let yourself be held back by that. In my case, when my work won the Wattys it had only been read 16 times. So no one had ever seen it. Then it won the Wattys and was published shortly after. Someone could still steal it, but there's a very clean track record of ownership so I would be easily able to sue them into oblivion. Legally, as soon as you produce a work you own the copyright. The important thing to make sure there are time stamps. So if you posted a story in December, and someone else copied yours and posted it in January, it's clear yours was first. I think Wattpad will deal with that stuff, but I am not sure. I no longer publish my works to Wattpad, and know very little about the platform. In my opinion, if you want to get your work out there, start your own website, put your work there, and then join writers groups and stuff to gain traction. Wattpad is a nightmare for building a following, and once you do they don't convert outside of the app hardly at all. Just my two cents. Feel free to dm about anything else if you want to talk further.
@ErrantFuture I was wondering...how did you deal with the plagiarism? Was it by publishing your book? I'm an amateur author so it would be really helpful. Wattpad is quite known for plagiarism from what I have heard.

Thank you for all the support that I have received over this past year! It has been an incredible journey!
Good morning everyone! Exciting news to announce today. After months of prep, talks, discussion, and hard work, Parasomnia is now less than two weeks away from international publication! I want to thank everyone here for all of your kind words and your support over the past year. Putting art into the world is terrifying, but you all have made this process much less so and I cannot thank you enough. I will be announcing contests for signed and free copies soon, but for now I just ask that if you have read the book on Wattpad, please consider rating and reviewing it on Goodreads. It helps a lot in getting the book out to a wider audience.

Okay, I just finished reading Parasomnia and best believe I will be talking about the book for the next few weeks or months. I NEED people to read this so we can have different theories. Though most of my questions have been answered I need to reread that one paragraph where Leo met They for the first time. The book is Genius!
(I saw the cover change just now - I'm going to have to grow onto that one now).
Before I forget, throughout the story I had one prominent question. Do you believe in God? (I don't know why I kept asking that question - or maybe I do. As someone who reads the Bible the themes and scenes in Parasomnia reminded me of spiritual realms and that's all my brain could come up with). If you don't that's totally fine I'm just curious, hehe XD.
Talking about being curious, the original ending of the book or the one you deemed as the first ending to this book - yes I read that comment and your replies.
Keep it up, I'm looking forward to read your other books!❤️
@pluviophicxaesthete Thank you for the kind words :) I messaged you in regards to your questions haha.
