Chapter 14 of ANGEL OF MERCY is up!
          A secret is revealed. Something that could turn this entire story around.
          
          Enjoy xoxo

Thanks for returning the follow!

Forget something after all, curse my brain sometimes!
          
          During Pride Month 2024, I had a special reading list of stories featuring LGBTQ+ representation - I'm gonna do that again this year btw, 'cause it was real popular - and one of the questions in the Google Doc I prepped was if people were interested in being featured on my Friendly Friday post I do on IG and my FB page. I got a lot of replies, so much that I had to change the schedule from every two weeks to weekly. 
          
          If you were one of these wonderful people and I haven't gotten to you yet, please know I'm still working through the list. I'm seriously not kidding if I say I had over 70 applicants, and there are only 52 weeks in a year. You do the the math XD
          
          So, my apologies for the delay, but I absolutely will contact you in due time through Discord or IG DM to be featured <3

Part two of announcement ;-)
          
          KA Writing is almost done with their edits and analysis on FALLEN ANGEL, so depending on what they suggest, I'll redraft (eight time, dang it!) and finally recommence querying and writing the prequel. 
          
          Several novels and a Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss FanFic has been planned offline, and I'm hoping I can start one to two of these in 2025, but it honestly all depends on how things go with FA. That story is my precious, but also my Everest and the moment I can really let it go and leave it to an agent or press, I'm gonna throw a party, I swear XD
          
          And then... I have one final thingy that I'll already tease. Something's coming. A special project I've been working on, but that has been on Wattpad before. When the time comes, I'll be opening the gates to request ARC reads ;-)
          
          That's it. Stay safe and my very best wishes for 2025 <3

Hello, my lovelies! 
          I hope everyone had a good start for 2025. I thought I'd give a little update for the new year, so y'all know what's what with me. 
          
          First up, I'm picking up Wattpad reads again tomorrow Jan 5. To those I tag below, please see this as me officially saying I'm ready to dive in again 
          @AnnamitaMuscaria @AziaElga @marsaumell @AWriternamed-ANA 
          @vykiknighthadley @jacquelinestorm @AliKatMeow @TheWildCyde
          
          For everyone else, if I have your story on my TBR list, I will get to it in due time. Depending on chapter length, I read one to two chapters of a story per week, but I also read several stories at once - on and off Wattpad - so yes, it's a slow pace. 
          
          Writing-wise, fans of ANGEL OF MERCY will be happy to know the remaining chapters have been fully outlined, and we're halfway through the story. The next update will be out in the coming days. 
          For those reading DAUGHTER OF HEAVEN, LOYALTY & MISCHIEF, and THE LOST FLOWER OF THE HIDDEN LEAF, you're still in for the long run, but fret not - the next few chapters are prepped. 
          
          I had the chance to submit THE BEAST WITHIN to DarkHolme Publishing, and I'm currently awaiting their response (if any). SECRETS OF NOTRE DAME was taken down a while back and is currently being edited as we speak, since I also have the chance to submit to another indie press, because yes, even anthologies help to get some author recognition, so I'm trying to sell my shorts where I can. 
          
          Speaking of which, I'm stoked to announce I was accepted for Greykin Press' next horror anthology. I'll share more of this as soon as I can, but I can already say it's a retelling of The Little Mermaid (duh lol) taking place in 14th century Italy, featuring LGBT+ characters, lots of gore and murder, and some romance too.
          
          Part one of announcement ends here, 'cause I apparently can't fit everything I wanna say in this one XD

Happy New Year, my lovelies!
          I wish you all the best for 2025 <3

Happy holidays, my lovelies ❤️
