Hello to my sisters and starlings!!
          	
          	Ever feel overwhelmed and unsure about where to go or who to turn to for help? Do you sometimes keep things in because you’re scared you’ll be judged or criticized? Asking for help is daunting, especially when you’re a teen. I know I absolutely suffered with the anxiety of being an emotional burden on those I love, which often led to me trying to work through my problems and fears alone – believing that I didn’t deserve to take up space.
          	
          	But I’ve learned the importance of reaching out and as a result, I am so proud to be partnered with Kids Help Phone as they prepare to launch an incredible program: RISE UP. A service for Black youth across Canada, providing them with wellness support and mental health resources.
          	RiseUp is a national, 24/7, bilingual e-mental health support service for Black youth. The service is free and available from coast to coast to coast. It’s a program built in collaboration with Black community partners, Kids Help Phone’s Black Advisory Council, BlackNorth Initiative and people from across the Afro-diaspora of many different ages, genders and backgrounds, and will be set to launch during World Mental Health Day. 
          	In collaboration with this incredible initiative, I’ve been commissioned to write a one-short short story: THE WEIGHT OF A HEARTBEAT: https://www.wattpad.com/1482365260-the-weight-of-a-heartbeat-riseup-collaboration
          	
          	For anyone struggling with mental health or, like Allix, feeling utterly overwhelmed with life and responsibilities—please know that you are safe and worthy and I hope you also reach out to these incredible resources and get the help you need. Thank you all for being part of my journey here on this platform and I can't wait to hear what you think of Allix!

Hello to all my Sisters and Starlings!! 
          
          I know it has been ages, but I am thrilled to be back with a brand story that is going to hit you in the feels. In collaboration with KIDS HELP PHONE, to raise awareness for their Rise Up program, I’ve written a short story about Allix Nelson, a young Black girl overcoming the stress of life, expectations and—something many of us all know too well—heartbreak.

          In collaboration with this incredible initiative, I’ve been commissioned to write a one-short short story: THE WEIGHT OF A HEARTBEAT: 18-year-old Allix Nelson—eldest of four siblings and proverbial golden child—has finally hit rock bottom. After finding out her boyfriend cheated on her, she is utterly heartbroken, but with a full ride scholarship on the line Allix can’t afford to blow this final exam. Heart heavy with grief, and the overwhelming burden of so much riding on her shoulders, she’s overworked and overwhelmed with no one she feels she can safely open up to. That is until she hears about Kids Help Phone’s RISE UP campaign, compelling her to do the unthinkable: reach out to a stranger for help.

Now that STILETTO SISTERHOOD has been out and published in the world for little over six months now, I'm curious to know who has read it and what do you think of the changes made to the published version??? *insert googly eyes* 
          
          Also - what would you like to see next from me?

FallonDeMornay

@ntlpurpolia That's up to Wattpad/ W Books to decide, but given it's been 2 years now without any follow up from them, I don't think the series will continue.  :"(

@FallonDeMornay I absolutely loved it, I wish we had gotten Cait and Eshe's perspectives too! When's the next book coming out??

Ooh, I still haven’t read the published version. I’m curious now about the changes. I’ve got a train journey coming up so I’ll make sure I take it along with me. 
            
            We all know I’ll read anything you write so go where the inspiration takes you. ❤️

Hey Wattpaders! Y’all showed up with the Spooky theme for this month’s READ/REVIEW/SHARE contest. And though it was so hard to choose, THE WINNERS ARE HERE!!!!
          
          ✨DRUMROLL PLEASE✨
          
          @DistantDreamer - Monica’s pick: Bright Eyes by @_Lazarein The writing was fantastic and the descriptions were amazing. I totally felt transported to the scene!
          
          @RebeccaSky - Rebecca’s pick: The Maggies by @NyhteridesThis writing is Hauntingly beautiful, achingly sad, broken and dark. I reread so many lines because of how stunning they were. 10/10 for spooky vibes.
          
          @Ms_Horrendous - Jakayla’s pick
          Out of the entries, I pick @shyy_girl story Lullaby because the plot drew me in, but also even though it’s new, it was the mysterious twist that made me curious for more. It’s also heading in a different direction from what I’m used to. Love the creativity put into it and looking forward to more!
          
          @FallonDeMornay ‘s pick: Of all the entries I received, I'm voting for @Nyhterides Rosalind. It's a gloriously dark Beauty and the Beast retelling set in Transylvania with a wonderfully lush and ethereal writing that comes to life on the page.
          
          Honorable mention pick goes to @TAJoseph and their story Autumn's Fabled Prince which had the best opening line we read this contest!
          
          Thanks everyone for entering, be sure to check out each others entries and cheer each other on, because we all know how hard writing can be and a comment and vote goes a long way!

@FallonDeMornay Thank you so much for doing this!
            title: Rosalind
            blurb: In a land where snow has fallen for the past century, there is a legend of a beast who has brought a hundred years of chaos to nineteenth-century Transylvania. When Rosalind Hershel's father and brothers trespass on the beast's property, the monster who was once lord of the lands imprisons them. Rosalind can save their lives if she offers herself to the beastly lord for a month; though she fears he will harm her, he awakens a darkness within her that may plunge Transylvania into an eternity of hell.

@FallonDeMornay Title: The Redemption of Stingy Jack
            
            Description: After a wild Halloween party, sober Maud and her drunk roommate, Lyn make their way home, and to their surprise, a man with a pumpkin face is found unconscious at their doorstep. Maud is a kind of person that loves all things spooky and creepy, and so she brings the man in for questioning, regarding how he made his costume look so real.
            
            
            She later discovers that the man is the infamous and folklore character, Stingy Jack. She wonders why he is real and why he chooses to stay with her. Lyn thinks having such a strange and monster looking, but harmless person around is risky, but Maud seems to defend this bizarre looking creature. She asks a lot of questions, and so does he in between swigs of alcohol, but the most prominent one is how did he come back to life, and why does he keep hearing voices in his head?
            
            
            Stingy Jack goes out to find answers, and in doing so, he is forced to make a history altering decision. Do something different for a change, or allow history repeat itself, and live up to his name.

@FallonDeMornay 'The Poison Balance' 
            
            What if all the trees were dying? And who would believe someone saying the rain will kill everything on the planet? 
            
            Lab intern Amy Weston grew up in care and still attracts trouble wherever she goes. Professor Joel Harket (based on A-ha's MORTEN HARKET) is not a people person. He lost his mojo in lockdown when his wife left him and seeks escape in alcohol. But a toxic superstorm is coming, with the power to destroy buildings and infect all living things. Can the two scientists put their mutual hatred of each other aside to save the world before it is too late? They will only survive if they learn to trust and love each other.
            
            From the EU summit in Beijing, the adventure continues to Whitehall, underground in the War Rooms, through the Mail Rail and to the Solent. Expect occasional scenes of a sexual nature, bad language, drug references and zombies. A lot of them!
            
            (The character of Joel Harket is based on the lead singer of A-ha and The Masked Singer's 'Viking' - Morten Harket.)
            
            Here's the first part of the story where the infected dogs spread the disease to the humans.... https://www.wattpad.com/1278303808-the-poison-balance-morten-harket-prologue
