I do have one idea I want your opinion on guys. Obviously I’m publishing the Chiroptera series I mentioned. Et Lilium is the first book. And I was wondering if perhaps you’d be up for reading along as I finish those chapters and giving honest feedback. It might help me finish the draft honestly if I can get feedback as I go. I keep psyching myself out and second guessing myself. I could literally post the first six chapters today. So it’s be new content. Totally different direction from the original chapters you guys first read years back. Just let me know. I won’t do it if I think there’s not enough interest. 

So here’s the deal. I’m going to republish everything I took down with the understanding that they’ll likely never be touched again. I don’t want to let go of those stories, but this community is just disappearing. And with everything going on in my life right now with my mom I have to manage my time super carefully. It takes me about 20+ hours to publish to write, edit, and publish one chapter. Obviously being my mom’s caretaker, taking her to specialized treatment two hours away each week, and just trying to financially survive, I don’t have that to spare often. I don’t want to stop writing. I love the GB world. Still. After all these years. I’ve had so many new ideas that I’ve created covers for and synopses but I just tuck them away because I know there’s hardly anyone left to read them. That’s why a lot of writers in our group aren’t writing anymore honestly. My only advice to fix this is to try to spread the excitement for the community again and share it with your friends. I’d do more myself if I had the time but I want to focus on my writing career. My entire life has revolved so much around my mom that my career and finances have diminished. If she dies I’d be on the streets because of this so that has to be my priority. I’m sorry it’s not better news but honestly I’ve been ignoring the writing on the wall for a while now. I just didn’t want to let go yet. I wasn’t willing to say goodbye to a chapter in my life where I was happiest and that was here with all of you. Again, I’m not saying never, just…don’t hold your breath. 
          
          All my love,
          Brooke. 

hello i jsut wanted to say first of all i loved your book lullaby it was my comfort book and i reread it a million times whenever i needed comfort it was my escape i saw that it was taken down and it made my heart break your an amazing author and create such amazing stories i can get lost in <3 i was hoping is there any way i could get a way to read it on another site or book 

PSA on no updates @ saying I was working on it: Around that time I started having severe jaw pain that would ebb & flow periodically. This pain would be mind numbing & wear me out for days afterwards. Then the nerve pain started & I’ve never felt pain like this before in my life. I was hitting a consistent 8-9 on the pain scale during these flare ups with a few silent screaming 10’s thrown in for shits & giggles. So my wisdom teeth on my right side are impacted. I spent most of December panicking about financing it because to be honest, if I couldn’t resolve it I worried about my ability to ‘survive’ it if you catch my drift. It was that bad. Then I managed to get a loan through my bank & find a doctor, all the while having two weeks of blissful pain free time & I got cocky. I forget bad stuff easily in my defense. When the pain went, I thought, ‘Sure I’ll be fine waiting four weeks. That’ll give me time to work my butt off & prepare for being out for two weeks. (my case is going to be a little more extreme than typical because of course it fucking is)’ only two days after the nerve pain has returned with a vengeance. There’s not writing happening because I can’t think. My usual method of plugging in my earphones & daydreaming to book specific playlists, isn’t an option, because the nerve pissed off is on the joint of my jawbone & likes to pick which of the 3 nerve lines in my face it wants to blast but still always sticking to its good ole favorite no matter which of those it chooses - my fucking ear canal. So every sound hurts. I can barely even read except in small moments of relief I get in between &  honestly it’s reached the point where I’d rather hurry & eat before I can’t anymore than read something I may manage a chapter in before the pain returns. I. Can’t. Even. Chew! It makes the nerve pissed. So yeah. Still alive. Kind of wishing I wasn’t. That is all.

Hi I was wondering if something happened to your book DollHouse I can't find it anymore?

          Sorry. Been hellacious in my life. 

Hi I was wondering what happened to the original "Wanderer". It was my absolute favorite that I reread multiple times, then one day I went to reread and it's not there anymore. That book was hilarious and after reading I told my husband i wanted a mellow yellow vw bug to call Ralph, still do lol! 

Hi! My favorite Author! 
          I'm here again, I remember your Lullaby book after so many years and I literally search it again. That was my favorite book I used to like reread it so many times when I'm sad and I just forgot it when I thriving my career as an adult. Lately I've been so stressed and it just came to my mind your Lullaby story so that's why I'm here. 
          It's just so sad that it was discontinued and I hope your okay, life is really hard to us sometimes. Even myself I feel like I'm on a forever loop of problem n my life. I'm super introvert like I prefer to be alone so that's why I don't have friends and this wattpad stories is my reality scape. 
          
          Whatever going on to your life, don't ls hope and faith. 

I’m so sorry to hear how much you are going through. You are in my prayers.

My mom’s health is getting scary bad guys. We just got the news that her hip bone has gone soft from the infection and they’re going to have to remove it, making her wheelchair bound for a year. I now have to somehow figure out how to increase my income by $900-$1500 in the next few months or we’ll be homeless. Being homeless with someone wheelchair blind is a terrifying thought honestly. I live in a constant state of anxiety or depression and on really bad nights, both. As of right now everything is on hiatus. I have to prioritize my mom’s recovery and on keeping us from being on the streets. I’m so sorry but there’s nothing I can do about it honestly. Who knew a hip replacement would turn out to be this much of a nightmare?
