@karabiner159 No problem, you did reply but as a private message! I've been getting a bit mixed up myself anyway. Could you drop an email address or other method of sending the PDF as a private message to me?

Hi Jeremy - I thought I’d replied to this message ages ago, but apparently I didn’t. It would be great to get that pdf! Hope all is going well with your other projects. Here’s to hoping I see your name on the bestseller shelf soon ;)

@karabiner159  Hello! It's lovely to hear from you, and quite the Christmas present. Knowing that this story has stuck in your head for this long is very gratifying, and the fact that you felt like getting in touch is a wonderful source of encouragement. That's particularly the case as I'm not really on Wattpad any more, and because A Dream of the Heaven isn't a story I've worked on for a few years. Time moves on - I'm working on my third novel now, not a sequel, sadly, and this world has moved a little further back in my head, but my goodness have you got me thinking about Imlon and Isendrin again these last couple of days! One day I'll come back to it.
            
            I have an updated, much more polished version of the novel that's not on Wattpad. I'd be happy to send you a PDF copy. The Wattpad draft is 3rd draft, and the latest one is 5th. There are a bunch of general plot and writing improvements and two new chapters during the brothers' residence in Monruath. Send me a private message if you're interested and we can chat some more. If not, then thank you anyway, and I hope you're having a great festive season.

I'll definitely wait for that day. Godswings @JWPThackary

@CrizOsilleva Thank you so much. I'm delighted you enjoyed it :) The second is definitely going to appear one day.

@ScoobyDooforever  I really did enjoy it, thats one of the better book Ive read on here. The reasons for no sequel make sense. 

@ScoobyDooforever Hey there.  I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the story!  I haven't been active on Wattpad for some time, so seeing people still enjoying my writing is a great source of pleasure for me.
            
            I don't have any plans for a sequel to Connoisseur.  There's a fancy reason for that and a very practical reason for it.  The fancy reason is that one of the points of the story is that relationships in fiction can never be as complex as those in reality; to live a normal life together, the fairytale has to end for Sophia and Alexander, and the reality of life to begin.  A sequel might undermine that.
            
            The practical reason is that I haven't had an idea for a plot!  If I do, who knows, that fancy reason might be completely blown away.
            
            Regardless, I'm delighted that you enjoyed it.

@Promeno Thanks!  I wouldn't blame you for forgetting - I've been pretty much silent on here for a good long while.  The writing goes on though...  Thanks again, lovely to hear from you.

Haha, greetings! Can't wait to get started on your stories. :)

@stripz Cambridge, Cambridgeshire sadly.  Greetings from the other side of the Atlantic!

@KazyleVelociraptor Hey there :) Thanks for your interest, and I'm delighted to hear that you've enjoyed my stuff.  I'm currently putting together the 4th draft of A Dream of the Heaven (the one on here is the 3rd), in preparation for taking the plunge and submitting to publishers.  I might get back to some Wattpad stuff after that, maybe another short story.  Thanks again!

@JWPThackray I particularly enjoyed that adventure.. probably because that one was the only one I had prior knowledge of. The rest were new to me. Oscar Wilde,Mozart, Greta.. This is my first time hearing about them. All the same I enjoyed it and I hope you write others like this one.. :)

@Fasciola Thank you so much.  I've been away from Wattpad for a while and hadn't realised that you'd been reading.  I'm delighted that you enjoyed the story!
            
            My other stories are very different from Connoisseur, being fantasies and dark/gothic short stories respectively.  I'd never written romance before coming to Wattpad, so Connoisseur is the odd one out really!  Still, you might enjoy the others, but I'm pleased you liked even one of my bits of writing.
            
            The Shahrazad in my story is my own idea, yep!  I was quite pleased with that one :)  I thought it would be the loveliest thing to show some truth behind the myth, but I couldn't make it too truthful, so I thought I'd make her a storytelling servant girl rather than a storytelling Queen.

@JWPThackray Makes sense. At first I couldn't tell what his time traveling had to do with the word Connoisseur. I understood that he loved the fine things, probably because of what he went through and all that but I was missing the link between all that and the book title. I get it now. And I must say I really enjoyed reading your book. Alex is human after all..I couldn't tell what his intentions were during the first chapters and the secrets made it worse but you worked out all the wrinkles at the end...and I'm glad I didn't stop reading halfway. 
            I hope your other books are as interesting. :) And one last thing, was the Arabian servant girl really an idea you thought up?
