Hi Everyone.
I know I've been gone a really long while with no explanation about my absence. Let me first apologize for that. I know I should have said something, but I guess deep down, I wanted to avoid the questions.
I'm also really sorry about how the awards turned out, it was one of my deepest regrets. I loved reading your books and talking to you guys.
The reasons for which I was absent are very personal and too sensitive I believe, to announce publicly. Just know that my time away was used to overcome the trauma.
The good news is, I am better now, and I plan on reading voting and commenting on all the stories you entered, to make up for the awards being cancelled.
Happy Valentine's day and best of luck to you. Hazel.
