New chapter of Lee Morose, Witch Attorney is up and I'm really happy with the title. It's one of my best.

If you're looking for a new read that takes place during the Regency Era and is romance and includes some spice, why not check out my latest WIP - The Slow Death of Good Sense | A Somewhat Regency Romance ? This is what I've been working on for the past few months and it's brought me a great deal of joy mimicking that style of writing and way of speaking. It's my first romance-heavy story, that includes some explicit spice. I'm excited to have people read it and experience all that delicious yearning (Just don't expect it to be historically accurate - I couldn't be bothered with all that research, at least not for this draft).

Hi everyone! Long time no see! I'm back with my whatever-th entry into ONC. This time, I'm trying humor. And romance. With a middle-aged witch and some weird wet guy. There's also mystery and murder and legalise because have I forgotten to mention that my witch is an attorney? Well, that's what the prompt said she had to be so she is. First chapter is already out and it is long (that's something I've come to accept about myself; I write many words, all the time. Probably too many. Oh well.)

          I'll be adding any ONC books that I come across to a reading list. If you're participating and I haven't added your work to my reading list, let me know. :))
          
          Good luck everyone! Let the writing frenzy begin.

Just a few housekeeping things: 
          
          The Abbernathy Series will get taken down by the END OF SEPTEMBER. It will not be posted elsewhere. 
          
          Wonder Made and Gods Under the Dome will also get taken down and will not be posted elsewhere. 
          
          I've started uploading on (Inkitt)
           
          - I'm cross-sharing my Harry Potter Fanfic under the old name "The Secret Keepers" (new chapters will be available on either platform).
          
          - A wholly original story will be posted only on (Inkitt). It's a first draft, historical fantasy/romance, that takes liberties with the London Regency Era. It's titled, Vying for the Lady George, and will be updated weekly. First chapter is already live! :)
          
          - I'm hoping to revamp (you'll understand the pun in a sec) my Vampire/Sci-fi/Dystopia story that used to be on here. I've got a new cover and a new title for it already, and I'm hoping to work on it this fall and start uploading by the end of the year. 
          
          - I'm planning some novellas, but they're all about pretty depressing subject matter, and first, I just need to get through the upcoming presidential election (I'm in the US, god help me). 
          
          - My ONC novellas will STAY on Wattpad. As well as my collection of short stories and "Bad Boy Vs. (the end of) The World".
          
          I don't know if I'll repost my stories after I take them down, or in what form they might take if they do reappear. But that's the plan for now. If you're looking for new content from me and you like regency drama and romance, consider following me on (Inkitt). 
          
          I hope everyone's staying safe and hydrated. 
          
          Much love,

I just wanted to say I've added my email to my profile in case anyone wants a way to reach out to me directly (to chat about stories, the craft of writing, etc). I don't have a lot of social media presence, and until I decide whether I want to do a newsletter, this is pretty much the only way of keeping in touch off Wattpad.

Happy Friday, all! Just wanted to pop by and say that Abbernathy and Magick's End, as of this morning, is COMPLETE! Meaning, THE ENTIRE ABBY SERIES, is now COMPLETE. 
          
          After a decade of this story living rent-free in my brain and about seven years of actively working on it, it's done. And I hope, to all its readers, you'll come away from it, thinking I've done the story and the characters justice. I cried, I smiled, I hope you do much the same. Enjoy.
          
          Cheers,
