Hi Everyone!
          	
          	I know you’ve all seen me buzzing about Sunder—my dark romance novella that’s finally coming out October 13th. I’m ridiculously excited for this one. So if dark, twisted romance is your jam, I’d love for you to take it for a spin when it drops. (It’ll be on Kindle Unlimited + paperback!)  
          	
          	The Next up for release is The Heather Wife—a Highland second-chance romance full of betrayal, redemption, and heartache. The preorder is already live, and I’m hoping to release it before November 25th (fingers crossed). A quick note: I’ve had a ton of requests for ARCs (thank you). I’ll post here and in my FB group when they’re ready, but I do give first dibs to readers who’ve reviewed one of my other books. (Also I require you to be on my FB friends list for communication purposes, so fair warning!) 
          	
          	After that, brace yourselves—because December is for The Rose and Her Blade. I’m still hunting for the perfect cover (it’s driving me up the wall), but once I find the one, you’ll see the preorder pop up.
          	
          	And because I don’t know how to rest… you’ll also be seeing my new Victorian-era novel: Ashes of Forever. It’s dripping with angst and heartbreak, the kind of story that twists the knife in the best way. Ashes of Forever will begin being posted here shortly. Here’s a teaser of the blurb: 
          	
          	William, Earl of Ashford, and Violet Hayes were childhood sweethearts, bound by stolen kisses and whispered vows… until duty, betrayal, and a mother’s cruelty tore them apart. Years later, William returns a widower, full of regret. But Violet is no longer the trusting girl he left behind—she’s a woman carved by heartbreak, devoted only to the daughter he rejected long ago…
          	
          	Once Ashes of Forever begins, I think it will be posted along side Faithless Vows—an Irish Mafia arranged-marriage romance that’s heavy on betrayal and angst. Because apparently, these men just can’t appreciate their women until it’s too late… am I right?

Author, 
          I purchased The Last Farina on Amazon, however, I see the prequel is currently being written here. I think I want to wait and read the prequel first. I am wondering whether you would recommend this reading order?

Thank you!

Hello, thank you so much for purchasing The Last Farina! I would recommend you read that story first- the characters in the prequels are introduced there. 
            Thank you again for your support...The Last Farina was an absolute blast to write and I hope you enjoy it.

Hi everyone!
          
          Just a quick heads-up! You may notice some chapters in The Rose and Her Blade being edited slightly. I had two versions of Vincenzo and Bianca’s story drafted, and I’ve decided to go with the one that makes a few changes here. These adjustments don’t really affect Anna or Silvio—the changes are more external to their story—but they do reshape Vincenzo and Bianca’s setup.
          
          After Silvio and Anna's story, Bianca and Vincenzo’s will begin. Their book will officially be called Oaths and Shadows, and I’ve also added a series name to all the books (both here on Wattpad and on Amazon). If you didn’t catch it, the full series is called The Betrayal and Bloodlines Saga, which encompasses:
          - The Last Farina- Arabella and Matteo
          -The Rose and Her Blade- Silvio and Anna
          -Oaths and Shadows- Vincenzo and Bianca
          -(and Al & Sofia’s story — title to come)
          
          You can read The Last Farina on its own at any time, but the others will make more sense in order since the characters overlap and events ripple forward from one book to the next.
          
          Release timeline (fingers crossed):
          Sunder (dark romance novella) → preorder now, releasing Oct 13th
          The Heather Wife → aiming for November
          The Rose and Her Blade → aiming for December
          
          Thank you all so much for reading, commenting, and following along with my stories!

Chapters will slowly be going back up as I edit and repost them. Thank you all for your patience and support—it means the world. 
          
          Constructive criticism is welcome—I love seeing readers debate and even hate on the characters—but there’s a line when it turns into cruelty directed at me, and that won’t be tolerated. Those comments will be deleted, and the readers responsible will be blocked and reported right away.
          
          But most of all, I want this to be fun again—that’s what it’s supposed to be. I felt awful pulling the chapters because I hate disappointing anyone, so let’s move forward and enjoy the story together the way it was meant to be shared.

@HopingForTheBest44 hi i was wondering why the chapters were being reloaded ... but this is better. I liked how his father warned him to mended his ways..and the additional part where he sees Sorcha getting bullied and feeling a heaviness also knowing Elspeth is acting when she complains...afterall didnt he tell her to humiliate Sorcha? 
            It shows he has brains he can use if he so wishes...in the before that wasnt seen. So I used to wonder how the track of redemption go? 
            I love this story...I think its the best of the lot

@HopingForTheBest44 thank you for bringing the story back! I’m loving it. I hope everyone settles down and let the story progress the way you meant it. I have no complaints at all. Usually I might rage at the character but never would I take it to the author. That’s just rude and disrespectful.

@HopingForTheBest44 as all of us, you deserve to not be harassed in your work place. Even if that workplace is your couch in your pj's, and even if you're not making buckets of money (yet). You're a damn good writer and clearly a fantastic person as well. Good writers are authentic, with feelings and real lives. I'm so sorry yours were hurt, but so many of us intend to keep supporting you.

I am so missing my daily update of ā€œThe Heather Wifeā€.  I’m a member of your Facebook group.  Do you think you could publish there, therefore if you have any that say rude things you could kick to the curb?Gives you a little more control over the crazies!
