Oh my word! It has been a long minute since I've been on here, but there is reason! I have not TOUCHED Gardens of Ash in almost three months. Cruel, I know. But because I have deprived you all for that long, I guess I will give you a snippet of something that will be in the sequel:
          
          "Fate broke us as isolated children, so we could mend each other as adults."
          
          I hope this makes you forgive me for my neglect. I love you all and thank you so much for reading. THE BOOK WILL BE DONE BEFORE 2025!!!

Hey! So MASSIVE update:
          The entirety of Lilith and Arwan's dynamic is going to be changed in almost every aspect. 
          SPOILER WARNING:
          Okay, so basically Arwan is no longer going to fall for Lilith, but rather see her as an opportunity for Korgon to become a "world power". 
          Lilith is unaware of this plan and if you read Chapter 24 you would know of Arwan's plan to convince Lilith to marry him. 
          However, Lilith's original plan of going to Korgon was to be CIVIL towards Arwan and hope he can see that she isn't JUST a killer. But Arwan's plan to make a deal with Lilith is going to be to SEDUCE her (it doesn't work). 
          So that is how their relationship is going to change. Arwan sees her as a way to power and Lilith sees him as a way out of financial ruin. 
          Idris and Caleb are going to be more background characters instead of supporting characters like Benjamin, and Morgan who have more dialogue and scenes. 
          As this book is coming to a near-but-far close, I can't help but be extremely grateful for my audience (even if it's small).
          So, thank you so much for reading and I hope that even after these changes, you still enjoy Gardens of Ash.
          Thank you so much. Happy Reading <333

Hey! Update on Gardens of Ash:
          I have just started editing chapters 1-15 and it's safe to say that a lot between Lilith and Arwan is going to be changed. 
          On a different note, I have recently started planning out the sequel to Gardens of Ash and the title is... 
          The Blood That Drives Us
          (It'll make sense later)
          Thank you so much for all of your support. Happy reading <333

Hey! I hope you all are having an amazing weekend! I just want to inform you all that the first draft of Gardens of Ash is ALMOST complete! I am in the home stretch and the characters are nowhere near done with their journeys. This has been a wild ride and I’ve been working on this book since late October of 2023 and now it’s mid 2024 and this writing experience is beginning to feel surreal. Thank you all so much for the support on this journey and for all the consistent readers. It truly means a lot. When the first draft is done and goes through edits, I’m sure the story will change in minor ways but the basis of it will stay true and I hope you all understand. Have a great day and Happy reading<33
