I have a big favor to ask of anyone who is reading this.
          
          I am grateful to have received a 1969 Polaroid 360 camera that was originally grandfathers. This camera was purchased in Paris during his deployment at that time. Sadly, it needs a lot of repairs. Luckily, I was able to track down the store where it was bought and the person I spoke to on the phone was super helpful. 
          
          They believe that it needs a new battery in the flash component as it has been destroyed with age. The camera will also need to be rewired to use modern batteries and an adapter needs to be added to use modern film. 
          
          This place in Paris does not do repairs, and if they could, it could cause further damage to the camera due to its age. 
          
          If you know of any place in the U.S. that can fix this Polaroid 360 camera, PLEASE let me know!!

I wanted to share a little more about what each story in the companion book to The Rise of Avaloria Trilogy will cover. Most take place before The Hidden Royal, with two stories occurring during the novel.
          
          Edmund Tavish (10 years before THR): The final week before his deployment and the end of his engagement to Nessa Farrow.
          Gabriella Coxe (23 years before THR): The day she meets Jacqueline and Arthur and vows to protect their secret.
          Bartholomew Hill (30 years before THR): His first week at The Avalorian Chronicle and the story that launches his career.
          Jacqueline Neale (23 years before THR): Her first meeting with Arthur and the beginning of her separation from the Price family.
          Matthew Rain (2 years before THR): Lord Vale recruits him as a spy, leading to the decision that seals his fate.
          Victor Coxe (During THR): Life in the palace during Andrew’s disappearance and Victor’s growing suspicions about his son.
          Thomas Neale (During THR): His life as a dockworker after the War with Vandal and discovering Veronica’s role in the rebellion.
          Nessa Farrow (8 years before THR): How she earned the trust of Avaloria’s royal family.
          Lord Price (25 years before THR): The beginning of Kilan Price’s descent into the trilogy’s main villain.
          Madam Hawke (5 years before THR): How Lord Vale’s manipulation changed her life forever.
          
          I’m really looking forward to publishing this collection! Right now, each story is planned to be around seven chapters long. Thank you all so much for your support.

I have an exciting announcement to make!
          
          Earlier this year I completed The Legacy Of Avaloria Trilogy, and I said how I would be taking a step back from writing for a bit.
          
          I am excited to announce that I will be adding a 4th book to this series. Though it will not be a part of the main trilogy. This book will be a little different. It will be a collection of stories from characters throughout the trilogy that take place before the events of The Hidden Royal.
          
          I think this is a great way for me to expand these characters as there is so much more about them that needs to be shared that is not fully expanded upon in the trilogy.
          
          The 10 characters that will be in this book are: Edmund Tavish, Gabriella Coxe, Bartholomew Hill, Jacqueline Neale, Matthew Rain, Victor Coxe, Thomas Neale, Nessa Farrow, Lord Price, and Madam Deborah Hawke.
          
          Currently, I don’t know when I will publish this to Wattpad, but it will be soon. Thank you for all of your support.

I have a huge announcement to make!
          
          I am proud to announce that The Legacy Of Avaloria Trilogy is complete!
          
          It has been such an adventure then past few years, as I was writing this trilogy, and I am so proud of what it has become today.
          
          Looking to the future, I want to talk about some things.
          
          The next step for this series is to be published, hopefully with physical copies. Though, I do not know when that will be, and it will most likely be years from now. 
          
          I also want to talk about my writing here on Wattpad. Due to this having been a massive, multi-year project, I will not be publishing any new stories anytime soon. I want to focus on promoting this series, but also I just need a break from writing after such a large project. 
          
          This does not mean I will not be doing any reading. It is actually the opposite! I plan on staying active on my social medias, and here on Wattpad!
          
          Thank you for all of the support!

Just wanted to share something really cool that I recently did.
          
          As many of you know, I am a certified wildland firefighter. I was contacted by a former teacher of mine, and they asked if I would speak to some of her students about the certification I received, but also about the additional training I will be doing in February of 2027.  By agreeing to do this, I hope I was able to inspire someone, especially one of the girls, that you can be a firefighter and be a woman. 
          
          I am fortunate enough to have parents that told me they would support me in whatever I chose to do with my life, even if that was working with trees and fighting wildfires for a living. Yet, I know many other girls and women are not that fortunate. 
          
          Firefighting in general has been seen as a more masculine career path, and I’d say it is. It is a very demanding career, and statistics wise, over 95% of firefighters are men. I just don’t think that should be used to deter women from having a career in the field. Many women who are going into a career as a firefighter were told that they aren’t cut out for it, or that it is not the right field for them. I have experienced this, and it almost caused me to not go through with getting certified. 
          
          So, I just wanted to share this because I hope that I was able to inspire one of these students that firefighting is a career path that is and should be available to anyone. 
          
          Thanks.

Just wanted to know if anyone else if experiencing this. It could just be my Wattpad acting up, but I can’t reply to some comments that people make, and I can’t reply to some message board posts. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this.

It is nice to meet you! I found you through Reddit. I'm excited to get to know your writing! Have a beautiful day!

An important announcement regarding The Best Of Wattpad Writing Contest.
          
          The stories advancing to the final round of judging has just been released. Due to schedule changes with one of the judges, it has been released early.
          
          The final winners will be announced on June 21st, 2026.

A question for all the writers on here.
          
          Why do you choose to continue writing?

An important update regarding my stories here on Wattpad.
          
          I’m coming on here today to announce a new story, while also sharing my plans for my current active project, The Rise of Avaloria.
          
          To be honest, I’ve recently been experiencing a bit of writer’s block with my current story, and I’ve found that working on another project alongside it helps me regain inspiration and creativity.
          
          That being said, this does not mean I’ll be abandoning The Rise of Avaloria for months. I fully plan to continue working on it during this time, but I also feel it’s the right moment to focus on another project alongside it.
          
          A while back, I mentioned a story titled Ashes of the Withering. I absolutely plan to return to that story eventually, but it is going to be a massive project—similar in scale to The Hidden Royal series. As that series begins to come to an end, I don’t feel now is the right time to immediately begin another huge undertaking like that.
          
          Instead, I’ll be working on a story titled Under Royal Review, which I briefly mentioned at the beginning of 2026. I’ll be making more posts about the story very soon.
          
          Thank you so much for your continued support.
