Hi Selia,
          
          Hoping all is good at your end.
          
          I loved reading your novel As long as I have you. I am in love with your style of writing. 
          
          I wanted to ask you whether your next novel Because of You is completed on whatpad as it shows updated only till chapter 6. 
          
          Hope to get to read more of your works.
          
          Love and Take care
          

Chapter 3 is finally up!  I honestly thought I had published this over a week ago, and when I went back to make a small edit it was still sitting there in the dreaded 'draft' section.  Not a terrible thing bit of luck though -- needed to make a few tweaks and now it can be read and enjoyed a lot closer to 'finished' than it was a week ago!  I hope you enjoy!

What a strange and challenging week it's been -- and so tough to write because of it!  Had quite the slip with a chef's nice last week and took off the top of one of my fingers for my troubles... the joy (and hazard!) of keeping your knives guillotine sharp I suppose.  
          
          The physical act of writing has been its own challenge to say the least, but I'm plucking (and hunt & pecking!) away to get new chapters to you all.  Edits are almost done and new pages will be posted soon!

A few bumps and bruises (sorry Tulip!), but chapter two of "Because of You" is almost ready!  Hang in there -- edits are underway and new pages will be up in just a day or two!

Today I did something brand new just for me and it's already paying off in spades! Joined my very first writers group and found inspiration and focus at my very first session.
          
          Even found the momentum to finish Chapter One of my newest novel, "Because of You".  Edits will be done in the next few days and posted to Wattpad directly.  
          
          Don't forget to look for my new content and to share with others!

I’ve been away for some time following the unexpected loss of my mother, but I promised myself I would start writing again once my readership hit 50k. 
          
          Well, we’re there and I’m keeping my word! I picked up my unfinished novella “Out on a Limb” and completed the final chapters — it may require a few tweaks here and there but she’s up and done. I hope you enjoy!
          
          PS- my next work is in the works, too!

The itch to write has persisted and I feel like I’m finally getting my groove back... now I just need to find the time! We’ve welcomed a brand new pup into our lives and she’s a handful— our home is puppy madness, schedules turned on their heads, and filled with love to be sure!  I was able to write some when we flew to pick her up, and while it’s a bit rough I want it out there to keep me motivated and bring Don’s story full circle in ‘Out on a Limb’. I hope you enjoy!

I haven’t posted anything on here in weeks and I’m truly sorry for that. One of my precious pups became sick in early July, and if you follow me on Instagram you’ll know I had to put down the puppy love of my life back in the beginning of August. 
          
          It’s been such a difficult transition to life without her — sleepless nights, journal entries that end in tears, missing my girl more than I ever thought possible, and absolutely zero energy to write...
          
          Thank you for sticking with me and reading my work, voting and supporting me and so much more. I promise I’m working my way back to it, and with the change from summer to autumn I can feel the itch to write overcoming me once again...

This week is the one! 
          Final chapters for “As Long As I Have You” will be up on Friday — thank you so much for your support, reading, voting, commenting and sharing! Keep up the great work and keep on sharing— I couldn’t do this without you!

It’s been a crazy few days fighting rainy weather, backyard projects turned to mud, and family feeling under the weather, but I’ve FINALLy got some new material up for Out on a Limb! It still needs a bit of polishing here and there, but it’s definitely got enough legs to stand on!
