2024 update; IT'S BEEN A WHILE!
          
          I've taken a much needed, extended break from my writing, dabbling only in the Amaeris Series' cover creation, and focusing on my mental health. I've also been working on a few other projects, but those are for me personally. 
          
          Beginning in July 2024, I will be focusing on this series and hopefully finding other platforms to publish on, as WattPad just isn't giving me the reach I had once hoped for. That being said, all current chapters of 'In Silence and Shadows' [Amaeris B2] will be unpublished till the end of 2024, when I'll begin updating this instalment of the 'Amaeris' series.
          
          All my other writing projects will be taking a longer Hiatus, as well as any book related TikTok's (I don't have the energy or mental capacity to upload there anymore).
          
          Either way, I'll be doing my best to regain my enthusiasm for my writing, even if my seclusion annoys my housemates.

A year ago I stopped writing to focus on my mental health, finalising the edits for book one of my Amaeris series and leaving the series itself incomplete as of today. The past 18 months have totally changed who I am as a person. Going forward, I don't know when I'll be working on my books again (hopefully one day soon) but life requires me to focus my energy elsewhere these days. 
          
          Tale of a Tri-Blood (book one) has a new and improved cover, with my new pen name, simpler font and overall a cleaner design. Hopefully it pushes me to write again soon. 
          
          Till then ❤️ TJ

Name changes underway, along with new visuals and covers. 

A sneak peak chapter of 'In Silence and Shadows' is now up! 
          I can't wait to share this new and improved version of book two of the 'Court of Amaeris' series with you all in 2023!!! 
          
          Also best wishes and good luck to everyone who entered the Watty's 2022! 
          I hope you all achieve a place this year!! 
          If not, I hope to see you all come back next year bigger and better then ever!!

Thank you to everyone who’s been giving Tri-Blood a chance these last few weeks; it really makes my little heart happy to see people reading my hard work! 
          
          Hopefully soon I get around to reading everyone else’s hard work!! 
          
          Only a few more days till the shortlists for the Watty’s 2022 are released! Good luck and best wishes to everyone who entered!!! 
          
          

I've been MIA since the completion of 'Tale of a Tri-blood' here on Wattpad, dealing with my head; a fight my characters know all too well. 
          
          Earlier this year, I announced that Books 1 and 2 of CoA were undergoing edits - that book 1 would be complete in July, and book 2 beginning edits in August.  Better late then never for book 2? 
          
          Beginning next month, 'In Silence and Shadows' will officially begin updates; making a head start before the shortlist for the Watty's is released! I hope everyone who signed up gets on!!

Tale of a Tri-Blood (CoA 1) is officially complete and submitted to the Watty's 2022!!! Over a year's worth of hard work and endless rounds of edits, lets see how we go!!!

The very final chapter of the Court of Amaeris [Book one] rewrite will be completed today! Then onto submitting for the Watty's!!! Wish this humble Aussie luck!

New update for BEAR & Bunny, and updates to come for Tale of a Tri-Blood tomorrow!! I hope to have ToaT updated by the end of July!!!

The first half of 'Tale of a Tri-Blood' has been edited! Check out the first 15 chapters with the link!! https://www.wattpad.com/story/280708036-tale-of-a-tri-blood-book-1-rewrite-july-2022
