Hey guys
So I've been getting a lot of messages about my book disappearing, and despite my efforts over the last 3 weeks to get Wattpad to resolve the issue, or offer a reason for it's disappearance - I've received no answers.
Thankfully the amazing Heather ( @SkippingStone94 ) managed to save Runaway from her mobile and is (with great effort) sending me every chapter - I cannot thank her enough!
With her help, the book will be up on Amazon by the end of March.
Concerning Wattpad: To summarize a message I wrote to a kind reader today -
I've decided to leave Wattpad.
I love the people I met here, everyone's been really kind but the idea of losing all your work without any reason or notice given - I'm sorry, that's wrong and I won't be part of a platform that treats people that way.
For decades traditional publishers censored and destroyed the confidence of writers. They were the gatekeepers. We were powerless.
But this is the internet - a place for openness and freedom.
We control our content, and we choose where and how to share our work.
Readers and writers have to stick up for each other. It's really important for me to be able to share my work freely and talk directly with you guys- and luckily that doesn't require a middleman!
So to bring my tantrum to a close - If you wanna stay in touch, here's my mailing list:

A lot of nice people have joined up already, and I intend to stay in touch.
Here's my personal email too hollie@abdlbooks.com
All my love <3
