How would we feel... If I opened ThePlayroom.Online early? Before Im able to list the solid copy of Chronically? 
          	
          	
          	It looks like Im going to be waiting on that approval process for at least another week- But I'd really love to launch before my Birthday, if not on it (March 5th)... 
          	
          	Would you all like access to all the Ebooks and merch early?

@Adci544 I definitely think a soft launch can be arranged! I may or may not have ants in my pants over this, and I dont know how much longer I can realistically wait to go live!

I've decided to do a raffle for the opening day of ThePlayRoom.Online.Com, my virtual book boutique... 
          
          If you place an order on opening day, you'll be entered into a drawing for a free copy of Chronically, to go out quietly, shipped with your order.
          
          ❤️

My online book and merch store will be opening shortly... As soon as the physical copy of Chronically gets approved by my print on demand service! 
          
          Chronically will be the only current hard back on my site on the day of launch, because it is currently out of my price range to afford uploading my entire collection all at once, and a majority of the other books offered will be through E-Book and Printable Copies as I slowly reclaim the rights to print all of my own novels.
          
          Physical copies will become available as I get the rights to my books back, hopefully 1-2 a month until all 8 have been switched over.
          
           I will NEVER be giving any kind of publishing rights to them away ever again after this... Because Ill be opening my own publishing house shortly after ThePlayroom.Online goes live! 
          
          
          We will be open before my Birthday, March 5th, and I couldn't be more excited!

@__wild_ace Thank you so much! I'm working my tail off, but it is so worth the effort to be in control of my own career while building something so solid!

I think i may have hit just enough of a manic flow state to both...Open the website within this next week... But also start writing and actively updating more on here again once I can relax with the marketing a tiny bit!
          
          Ive missed you all so much ❤️

I am really really hoping everyone loves ThePlayroom.Online.com as much as I do because I'm really putting so much effort into making it real. 
          
          I just placed an order for some of the bookmarks Ive designed... Including the one for... BOOKSMART!! Im super excited. I needed something to be happy about today. 
          
          Stay as safe as you can everyone ❤️

Hey, I am really struggling to write in Innocent Mischief right now,  technically it does tackle he delicate dance that comes with being an interracial couple, and it... It's very hard writing stuff I know ends up getting a little charged given the circumstances that are happening right now to so many people of color here in my country. 
          
          I may need to take a small break from it until I'm not feeling as raw as I am right now, but I am NOT retiring the book. 
          
          I just... There needs to be a pause. Just like I paused When Sirens Call because of subject matter bringing up some personal flashbacks for myself. 
          
          I will keep working on my other books. I'm leaning towards Lunessence Landing and A few others. And as always, you'll still be getting the chapters of Chronically every Thursday. 
          
          That, and I was wondering, what social media platforms do you want to see me on? I've abandoned TikTok but it won't let me delete my page yet. I've got Skylight and Bluesky and I just downloaded Upscrolled to see if I can get the hang of it.

@JenesisCollins take time for you...dont force a story or it won't be organic. When you are ready the story will just flow.
            .be well and enjoy your "me" time

Im not ignoring this platform or my books at all! I just haven't been fo used on updating things as we wait for my last business liscense to be approved.
          
          Things have been a bit tense. I live in the USA. As some of you know. And im brown, as hopefully all of you know. 
          
          Im a full citizen and was born here but Ive been living in fear. Ill admit that Im scared and I have been for a while and it is affecting me in my work headspace. 
          
          Its really hard to write while stressed this way but im trying. 
          
          PLEASE Stay as safe as you possibly can, and make sure to check on and show some community love to your neighbors that are like me. Technically supposedly safe but not feeling like it.
