Today I published Little Lost Luna on Kindle, and it's also now available on Kindle Unlimited. It's been a hectic year (my divorce should be final in two days, finally), but things are settling down, and I'm so excited to finally be doing this. It has been edited pretty extensively from the original version that was here on Wattpad. For those who don't have Kindle Unlimited, it should be $2.99. I tried to keep it affordable for readers while still hoping to make a little bit to support my writing and my family so I can keep doing this (and hopefully write more than I have had time to these past six months). There's also a paperback version in the works, which I'm pretty excited about. 
          
          Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive and patient this past year. You really helped me get through a tough time. 
          
          And if you have read it and loved it and feel like leaving a review, that would be amazing, too. Getting reviews starting out is sort of intimidating!

Hi I'm so sorry you are going through something so tragic, I hope you find peace and everything settles because the five little people you mentioned need you so much,I hope you find a way to release all these emotions some way 

Hi. At the moment I’m not writing. 
          
          My husband of seventeen years announced on last Sunday, which had been a perfectly normal day, where we’d laughed and talked liked any other day, that he was done. On Monday morning he served me with divorce papers.
          
          So I’m learning to juggle being a single mom with five kids, three in elementary school, one middle schooler, and one high schooler, and trying not to cry for too many hours a day. 
          
          Writing at all has been hard, but writing romance, something I usually adore, has been impossible. 
          
          I’m taking lots of walks in the woods and fields and hoping that when night rolls around I’ll be so exhausted I’ll fall into bed and sleep.
          
          I’ll be back to writing as soon as I can. I’m hoping it’s sooner rather than later. 

I feel like all I've been doing lately is posting updates as I try to figure out exactly how I want to share my writing going forward. There's been a lot of trial and error and learning this month. I did finally take down Little Lost Luna and Saving Briar, as I'd promised to do about a month ago. 
          
          Saving Briar is currently on Inkitt and is free to read, although at this point I'm leaning towards moving it over to Kindle in the hopefully near future. Little Lost Luna is now on Kindle Vella, with some changes and editing. And My Best Friend's Daddy is My Alpha is also on Kindle Vella. It's all easy to find under my name, Ophelia Shaw. 
          
          I will likely be taking down Red's story in coming months and moving it over to either Kindle Vella or Kindle Unlimited. Thanks for coming along on this whole roller coaster of figuring things out with me. 
          
          I have been writing, and I do plan on keeping my profile here active with new stories. I just have to figure out what is going to go where first!

Hey new here, did you remove saving briar? I was on chapter one and then it just disappeared? 

I followed you on Patreon and was interested in finishing the latest story. Do you have any plans to complete. It was an interesting story line.

I needed to switch one thing from yesterday's post. I made a FB profile but I figured a page was probably way better for this whole thing. So now that's done too. I added it to the sidebar links on my profile and I'll put it down below here in comments, if you'd like to follow along there with what I'm up to on different platforms. So far I'm at 0 followers, likes and it's a teensy bit intimidating!

I've been on Pinterest for a long time, but I'm finally breaking down and signing up for other social media, since every publishing related person wants writers to have those. So... I set up FB, IG, and Twitter accounts that you can find under Ophelia Shaw Writes, or here: I've also finally decided to expand into other social media sites for my writing. 
          I'm on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550206084492
          And Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/opheliashawwrites/
          And Twitter (or whatever we're calling it now): https://twitter.com/ShawOpheli66843
          
          Feel free to send a friend request on FB. I haven't set up a page yet, but my profile will be exclusively writing related.

Hi All! I know I haven't been posting here much, but I have been writing and proofreading. I did want to let anyone who is reading Little Lost Luna know that it will be moving over to Kindle in the very near future, and after that Saving Briar might be making an appearance elsewhere too. So if you want to read those two, or are in the middle of reading them, now would be the time to do it! Thank you for all your support and kind comments. 
          
          I'm still planning on posting some stories here, but I have plans for some of the stories that I've finished!

Do you see a sequel to Saving Briar in the future?
