Hello everyone! I have been on an almost 2 year long hiatus and I'm so sorry. A couple weeks after my announcement to come back, I found out I was pregnant with my husband and I's first child. It was pretty crazy and things move very quickly after that. We moved 800 miles to be near our parents and my husband got a new job and our baby girl was born March of 2022. I have been completely absorbed in being a first time and stay at home mom, but she's over a year old now and she's decently self sufficient now. So, I'm able to take more time to myself and get really into these books that I have spent nearly a decade working on, but only half of that time on Wattpad. I hope you'll bare with me as I once again have removed both Elemental books and will be releasing them chapter by chapter. Hopefully, I won't be alone in this process as I'm hoping that I've found someone who will give amazing feedback and material that my books have been previously lacking. Thank you everyone.

Hi Kali,
          
          I'm loving your "The Elementals" series.
          
          Thank you for making the effort to return to the story after all the changes in your life, and congratulations on getting married - or maybe I should be congratulating you partner on landing such a great catch!
          
          I'm hoping you'll be able to get more chapters written soon. Part of me wants to say "Get on with it!", however I'm getting the story for free so that would be a bit much!
          
          I don't know how much you've fleshed out the next chapters, however it seems to me that now that the enemy obviously knows about the island there needs to be more focus on warning systems and defensive training and preparations. I have some ideas (below), however they would probably mean that you'd really have to improve the enemy's attack to make for a dramatic battle.
          
          1. Earth Elementals to create a network of tunnels so that United Elemental Alliance (UAE) personnel can safely get within range of the enemy.
          
          2. Fixed video and drones to supplement Earth Elementals earth senses so that they can attack from below, sinking the enemy into the ground.
          
          3. Radar for early warning of attack by air or sea. Possibly sonar/passive sonar in case of submarine attack.
          
          4. All Elementals to practice air defence, including against artillery and missiles, and including different skills working together - e.g. Earth Elementals providing ammunition for air and storm Elementals to throw in the path of missiles, etc.
          
          5. Air, storm and water elementals to practice working together against sea vessels.
          
          6. Specialist elementals, e.g. Stella and Jake to practice using their skills. Jake's the ideal person for stealthy reconnaissance etc.
          
          Regardless of what tactics you decide to have the UAE use, it would be fun "watching" them training as part of your story, particularly as you'd throw in a few twists.

@ausvirgo haha yeah I get that. I’m a bit unreliable as well so we’re similar in that regards. 
            
            It is hard to make things seem like a struggle but work out mostly/kinda/or not really in the end. 
            
            Yeah even I have to refresh since it’s been a while.

Hi Kali,
          
          I really enjoyed the story, however it seems like you need a strategy consultant.
          
          For example, 
          
          1) There doesn't seem to have been any long-term strategy to take down FEA. All efforts seemed to be on collecting and training elementals, only going on the offensive when someone was captured, despite knowing that the FEA had captives in mortal peril.
          
          2) Poor combat strategy -
          
          a) e.g.  a single Earth elemental could have shielded the group then used their Earth-sense to find and sink the enemy.
          
          b) in battle there could have been more focus on taking down Scarlett, the erstwhile head of the FEA.

Attention all followers! I have officially returned and I'm determined! I've taken nearly a week to completely edit The Elementals: Finding Her and it was a rough process. Now, I'm onto editing the sequel The Elementals: Known and the Unknown. I've already edited and republished a bunch of chapters already and I'm doing everything I can to make sure this book and the series gets finished. No more time off, I'm doing this full time until the series is done. However long it takes, I'm not giving up! I love you all!

I really like her story “ The Elementals”. Its funny and sassy. I would recommend this 10/10 just needs more fluency and editing. Will definitely read her other works✌

KaliStrong

@KingMafia4135 Just an update. I have completely updated the book and I have edited some of the sequel too! I highly suggest giving the first book a good reread because I made A LOT of changes. Not to the plot too much but a good deal was changed.

well your writing suck and why are you giving fans hope that there would be a series not a good way to be a writer 

ausvirgo

@TinaRobbins If her writing's so bad, how come you read so far through, and why would you care if there's a series.
            It seems like you need to get a life!

Sorry you feel that way, but as a writer it doesn’t come as a surprise when someone doesn’t like my work. Can’t please everyone unfortunately. I hope you find a good writer that gives the time and effort into their books that I just couldn’t.

Are you still here as a  writer and going to finish writing the book The Elite? You last updated the story in March 2020. I also liked the first two books of The Elementals.

KaliStrong

@AllenPW I’m so sorry I haven’t written in a long time. My world has been so crazy lately. I got married, moved during COVID, going to a new school, and having a new job. I’m finally getting into a good rhythm where I can actually breathe, sit down, and write. Life sometimes gets in the way of the hobby that makes me happy.
