Hello favorite author, is there a book 2 about the dark Sanctuary?

I’m so glad the stolen stories were removed. I’ll help on Goodreads to have those taken down as well.  

Hi my lovelies, 
          
          STORY THEFT UPDATE!
          
          I have some good news - Amazon has upheld my copyright infringement claim against the 'author Jordan Miles' who stole my stories and published them to benefit from my ideas and hard work. The books in question have been removed; however, this 'author' still has 8 books listed on Amazon. I have reached out to a few authors I could locate, but if anyone else recognises the books/authors, let's work together to get this thief removed from Amazon completely. 
          They are also listed on Goodreads, so feel free to report them ;-) 
          
          I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to everyone who's reached out in support. Your kindness means the world, and I'm so glad to have such a great community of friends here on Wattpad. 
          
          Thank you once again xx

Hello, everyone! I hope you're all doing well. 
          
          Unfortunately, I'm not here to make a happy announcement today, as this morning I discovered that three of my works - A FEAST OF SOULS, THIS POISONED TIDE, and BLOOD & CURSES - have all been stolen by someone here on Wattpad and published without my permission on Amazon. 
          
          Sadly, I am not the only author affected, and I have been reaching out to others I believe may also have had their work stolen. 
          
          This is a direct copyright infringement - it is theft, pure and simple - and I refuse to let a thief benefit from all my hard work. It might seem as if it's no big deal to steal 'words' and pretend they are your own. However, these are not simply words. My stories are months and months of planning, research, hours and hours of time, effort, and hard work. I put everything into my writing, as does every other author. 
          
          I have reported this person on Amazon and am urging my fellow authors to do the same. However, I will say, that the thief came from here on Wattpad, and I know who they are. I will be reaching out to HQ with my findings. 
          
          I'm sorry to tell you that, because of this, I have no plans to post new stories, and unfortunately, this also means no sequels. I'm so sorry to all my readers and to all those who contacted me to ask about the sequel to Blood & Curses and This Poisoned Tide, but I have to protect my stories. I will not allow a thief to monetise my hard work and benefit from this theft. 
          
          I wish this was better news, I really do, but I hope you can all understand my reasons for not posting anything new for the forseeable future. I thank you all for reading my work and for supporting me for so many years. You've all been amazing and I hope, at some point, I can update you with much happier news. 
          
          Much love, 
          Linz xx

Hello! I am currently almost done this poisoned tide and thought I’d check to see if the second book was started, and was so nervous when I realized this book was written so recently, there’s no way there’s a second book already! I’m wondering if the second book is in the works, as I’m so obsessed and need to read more! I love your writing so much, and truly appreciate the world you’ve created with your amazing words. 

@LittleCinnamon thank you - it's crazy!!

HELLO EVERYONE! Long time no speak! 
          
          The WATTYS 2024 Shortlist is out and guess what wily water witch made it to the list?! 
          
          I entered THIS POISONED TIDE on a bit of a whim, it has to be said. I’m blaming that little ‘your story is eligible for the WATTYS’ alert that lured me in! I totally didn’t expect to get anywhere with it, so to make the shortlist is so lovely, especially when my writing has taken a massive back seat this past year. 
          
          Sending a huge congrats to everyone who made the list too! Check it out here:

hey author, I just finished the first book of the dark sanctuary series and now it's safe to say I can't really wait for the second book. I should've checked whether it was complete or not before diving headfirst into this world. And I'm not a very patient person unfortunately. Rant aside, you have a gift and you sure as hell know how to harness it. A fantasy book with an actual plot is a rare sight on Wattpad. I LOVED it. I love the characters already even though there are many mysteries surrounding them. I love found family and I hope we'll be seeing more of the gang in book 2. I'm really curious about Bailey and everyone else's backstory. I wish I could read the original version now because I really can't wait to get my hands on the next book. 
          
          Much love.

@LittleCinnamon yesss

HEDOSCHISM HAS HALF A MILLION READS!! 
          
          Happy weekend, dear friends! I've been keeping a beady eye on the Hedoschism reads for a while now, and finally, it's hit the lift 500,000 mark! 
          
          For those of you who don't know, this story was THE ONE - my surprise Watty winner back in 2018! I entered on a whim, not expecting anything, so when I was told it had made the longlist, then the shortlist, and then to go on and win meant everything. It meant even more knowing Hedoschism had won in The Heroes category - my FMC Casey Brogan was the most real, the most raw, and the most complex character I had ever created, a woman who had spent her whole life battling her personal demons and still somehow managed to keep on fighting through it all. 
          These characters and their story were a HUGE part of my life, just as every reader was a huge part of my life when I was writing and uploading each chapter to Wattpad. The fact that 6 years down the line readers are still finding the story blows me away. 
          So, this is me, saying a big THANK YOU to my OG readers, to my new readers, and to any readers to come. I'm forever grateful <3
