Hello Everyone! It's been a long while, but I am finally beginning to publish my work in progress of Book 2 "The Ministers of Fashion: Versailles." I hope that you enjoy reading Chapter One: Part I "Match Met" which has been officially published. 
          
          My quest for literary agents has been difficult thus far and I think that I'll end-up self publishing this summer. At least locating a self publisher with a great editor who can help me clean "The Ministers of Fashion" up for print. 
          
          Happy reading!

Dear Readers and Writers, 
          It's been too long. The current COVID-19 crisis has brought me back to #wattpad and I feel that making my story available once again would be of some service. 
          
          Thanks again to the #HistoricalFictionAward2019 for their recognition. 
          
          I did, in my absence, make some progress on my hunt for a literary agent; however, that opportunity fell through. I'm waiting on replies from other inquiries and I hope that one day, my novels will make it to the press.
          
          I'm currently writing Chapter 2 of "The Ministers of Fashion: Versailles." Better get back to it. 
          
          As always - Happy Reading.

I'm so excited and incredibly humbled to have "The Ministers of Fashion" shortlisted for the #HistoricalAward2019. It has made the Top 10. 
          This is really wonderful news and congratulations to the other authors. I better get working on "La Dauphine."  1400 words have been written, many more to follow.

Good news!
          I've managed to write approximately 1400 words of "La Dauphine." I think that the story is coming along well and I'm hoping to write a little every day. It may be a while until we see the completed story, but know that I am putting words to digital paper!
          Have a great week :D.

Hello everyone, 
          I'm sorry that it's been a while but I've been so swamped with my full-time job that I've barely had any time to think. So, some updates:
          1. I've planned out my next story, but I need to find the time to start writing.
          2. I've completed research on the Chavalier d'Eon!
          3. I'm almost done research on Madame du Barry (la Comtesse). Very close to wrapping up her source material.
          4. I really miss Rose and Léonard! I can't wait to start writing again.
          
          Thank you for bearing with!

I'm happy to announce that "The Ministers of Fashion" has made #wattpad 's 2019 Historical Fiction Award top 30! Thank you to all of my readers who have supported this series. This made my day. 
          
          PS. Research continues on my short stories and for the second book in this series, "The Ministers of Fashion: Versailles."

Targeting the final Literary Agencies for submission in the UK. 14 remain, then I'll move to submitting "The Ministers of Fashion" to literary agents in the United States. 
          Keeping the hope alive!
          Happy Reading.

I'm really excited to continue writing "The Ministers of Fashion" series this week. It's going to be a long haul and I hope you'll forgive me if I don't post frequently. I want to ensure what I post is quality (as much as I can). Quality takes time. 
          Thank you to everyone for sticking with me and pointing out mistakes when you see them. Sometimes they are missed and I appreciate your feedback. 
          Have a great week!

Happy New Years Eve! 
          I can’t believe it. The final part of “The Ministers of Fashion” has been posted. My first novel is officially complete! Thank you for your continued support and if you read the final author’s note, my intentions for 2019 will be revealed. 
          
          Have a safe and joyous New Year! 
          Happy Reading. 

Happy Friday! It’s almost New Years and I have to tell you all that I’m thankful for your support. I know that I haven’t been on this platform for very long and that my job doesn’t allow a lot of spare time; however, all of your reads and comments make my day. 
          
          The newest part of “The Ministers of Fashion,” Chapter Fourteen: Part IV is ready to read.
