Hello,  my lovely readers! UPDATES!!! 
          	
          	Storm and Sea - (the rewrite of the Luca Fanfiction) Book 1 is officially COMPLETE! AHHH! Book one is finished and YES - the title will remain "Storm and Sea" 
          	Here is what's happening
          	- Cover artist is working on the cover NOW (reveal coming soon) 
          	- Book has been edited 4 times
          	- 5 Beta readers are currently going through the manuscript
          	
          	Next steps will be for me to get a Proofreader (and potentially a professional editor depending on how the manuscript looks after the Beta readers have had it) 
          	
          	Next step for me is to create a group of TRUSTED ARC readers! ARC readers (Advanced Reader Copy) are a limited group of trusted people who will get access to "Storm and Sea" BEFORE the release date in hopes of growing my presence through Goodreads and Amazon reviews. And it's FREE! 
          	I am keeping my ARC team very small. If you'd like to be considered for the group please subscribe to my NewsLetter. I will be choosing my readers from this list.

Man, i really enjoyed reading this, i just finished hurricane even know i haven't fully finished it because i have no patreon, but it is what it is, I can't complain, i enjoyed everything and loved mattias's teases. The thing is i have no idea what's going on like things you're doing, I'm new here and i couldn't keep up with anything, i just found that wattpad even had this communication thing. So like what's going on? What re-write? It's 2 AM right now so i might not be braining, but could anyone just explain what exactly is happening?

@TaraZamir i tried but i couldn't find your Instagram, and I don't really use any other social media like no twitter and anything like that. I thank you for reply and for your writings again

Hi Tara! First, I just want to say how much I adore your Luca series. These books mean a lot to me. Second, congrats on your success in making a profit off of them!! You and these books deserve it. I have one question, and that’s is; do you have a release date for when we can purchase Storm and Sea? If not, that’s totally fine, I just want to have a copy as soon as I can because I love these books so much!!!!!

@Felicity750 I haven't made a formal announcement since there are some business (taxes and crap) that I have to sort out first - but I am tentatively shooting for a May 1st release date! (you didn't hear it from me ;)

Hey, I'd like to join the patron subscription, however, I am new to this, if I pay it at the end of the month, will it renew immediately the first day of the next month?
          
          Thanks in advance (:

TaraZamir

hello! Sorry it took me so long to respond, I don't check my wattpad often. Yes the Patreon subscriptions renew monthly. As far as if you subscribe at the end and it'll charge at the beginning I have no idea. I can guarantee they have a billing schedule on their website. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. @FlyWithFlapsSimulaci

Hey Tara, are you planning in the future to continue the original Luca fanfic on Wattpad or Patreon? Like a follow up with Luca and Alberto‘s journey as parents, and Eshe being a surrogate? And Giulia and Mattias’ marraige? I just finished re-reading the original books, and I’m in my mourning period lol so I’m desperate to know if there will ever be more (aside from the official rewrites) i’m sorry, I don’t mean to bombard you with questions, I have autism and OCD and I’m just super hyperfixated on this series! You’re a truly brilliant writer, and I love your work so dearly! Sorry if I’m annoying

@TaraZamir Thank you for responding! While I’m sad that the original fanfiction won’t continue, I’m so excited for the rewrite!!! I’ll have to get used to the characters having a different names and stuff, but I know it’s still going to be incredible like all of your work is!

@imagaybanana2004 Thank you for your questions! Unfortunately I am not going to continue writing the Luca Fanfiction. I am putting all my love and energy into the rewrite. In the rewrite I will go beyond the fanfic! I do plan on going into Eshe's surrogacy (have some super cool things planned) and the main characters journey of parenthood. There are even more species of Mer I haven't even had time to mention in the Fanfic that will come out in the original series! So stay tuned for that if you're hyper fixated on the series. You'll find a lot of similarities and IMPROVEMENTS!!!

I'm thinking about writing something like that but as soon as I get Tara's permission, bc I have my own oc's I'd like to include and trust, lore is CRAZY

Hello Tara how are you??!!! My name's Aaron and I wanted to ask if I can do a spin-off of your series. Ive been here since the release of book 2, and it's really connected with me a lot. And i wish to continue this on by using the next generation's stories, obviously adding a few more oc's. So may i use your books as a backstory??

TaraZamir

@Moriartyshusband I have absolutely no claim on the Luca franchise, so as copy-write law goes I don't even have a claim on my own fanfiction. You're welcome to do with it what you please :)

Hi Tara! How are you?!
          I would like to ask you until when the Luberto versions of Storm and Sea no longer be available? I'm still raising money and I would like to be able to acquire them before you have to eliminate them. :c

TaraZamir

@Ruby-Lawliet 2025 is when I'll be taking it down, but it will remain on my Patreon until I publish or submit for publishing

UPDATES!!!
          
          The official rewrite of Storm and Sea is nearly complete! 
          
          Now, there is still a LONG way to go before it'll be publish-ready, but the first draft is nearly there! I'm currently at 88,000 words and estimate it'll hit 95,000-100,000 before it's done. Just so you know, the original Storm and Sea Fanfiction was just 45,000! So this is double the length! I will be looking for Beta readers in the future as well as compiling an ARC (advanced reader copy) Team! If you'd like to be considered for a Beta read or be part of my ARC team please subscribe to my newsletter! I promise not to spam you; this is the best way to get updates on me and what I have going on, and it will be the first group of people I reach out to for goodies!

Hello, my lovelies! 
          
          I need your help. I am putting together a playlist for my new Storm and Sea and I want your input. What songs (both with lyrics and instrumental) did you associate with Storm and Sea? Any tracks that reminded you of the characters? A particular setting or scene? Any songs you listened to while reading that you think fit the vibe of the story. I will listen to all submissions! Maybe your suggestion will end up on the official playlist! Thank you so much in advance!

@TaraZamir How about a Troy Sivan song. Ease is one of my favorites.
