Happy New Year, everyone!
          	
          	Woaw, this year has just flown right by! I know I haven't been as active here as I would've liked, but so much has happened in my personal life
          	
          	I graduated from uni with a master's degree in Robotics Engineering, aced a number of interviews that landed me a job as an application engineer at a widely acknowledged robotics company, and yes, work is hard and ridiculously energy and time consuming here in the beginning, but, boy, do I not miss school Also, I got engaged!(just quickly wanted to throw it out there)
          	
          	Either way, 2024 was a big year with many ends and new beginnings. Aside from my personal life, I finally finished the first draft of the Crown Saga, which has left me both excited and sad, but I look forward to going through all your good feedback for the next draft
          	
          	2025 will be a big year, too!
          	
          	Book 1 of Marked will get a rewrite on Galatea to tie up loose or confusing ends; Book 2 of the Crown Saga will be released in Spring; Marked, Book 5 will also finally see the light(or darkness, who knows), likely in the Summer or Fall 
          	
          	I have a few short stories soon-to-be released for free on Inkitt as well, so keep your eyes open 
          	
          	Thank you for all of your much appreciated support. You guys are my most prized motivation!
          	
          	I hope everyone has had/is having a great time, and I wish you all the best in the new year. Stay safe out there!✨️

Merry Christmas, everyone!
          
          Do you have any Christmas traditions?
          
          Here in Denmark, one of our TV channels sends Disney's "From All of Us" every year, and we watch it religiously every year✨️❤️
          It symbolizes the beginning of an evening spent with family and way too much food!

@ToriRHayes oh yah though we dont celebrate christmas and there are  no holidays but like every other month we have atleast one festival that we celebrate like dashain , tihar (diwali) and so on

ToriRHayes

@Astrr1 Celebrate however you want! I am not particularly Christan either, but Christmas(for me) is more about spending time with family and the cozy(we call it Hygge here) Christmas mood
            It's more about Santa, food, and music compared to Jesus and faith, about the giving spirit of Nicholas and love
            
            At least, that's what Christmas is to me :)
            Do you have something similar in your country?

Astrr1

 not exactly here in our country only a minority of people are christians and I am not one of them and I have no idea on how its celebrated

The final chapter of the Crown Saga is here!!
          
          Thank you to everyone who has followed and supported me through everything! I can't wait to share more of my projects once I have finished revising this series for full publication ❤️
          
          Man! What a journey! I almost can't believe I've managed to write a proper ending without leaving you with another mind-splitting cliffhanger It is a sad and joyous day indeed
          
          I hope you have enjoyed following Will's journey as much as I have had writing it and that you'll keep following me to influence what changes may come to the next version of my draft✍️
          
          I must warn you, though. In a few days, I'll release the epilog. And if you like this ending and feel somewhat at peace saying goodbye to this world for a while, I would recommend pushing your curiosity for my next announcements about the Crown Saga It will lead up to a spin-off and it will leave you wanting more
          
          Stay healthy out there!

I was waiting for the third book to be advanced to read it without pause. Can’t wait! I enjoyed so much book 1 and book 2! I loved the saga and the creativity. Can’t wait to continue reading more of your work!

@1-800-stressedout @AishaAli34 Thank you both!! Yes, I am planning a spin-off, but it will be a while, so don't expect me to go off publishing in a month❤️

@ToriRHayes I've been following along since the beginning and it has been so fun getting to read every update (even though some had me in tears and others made me want to yell at my screen) I can't wait for you to get to publish and Im so ready for the spinoff!!

The Crown Saga is nearing its end, but I want to include my lovely readers all the way to the last of it and beyond <3 Especially because sitting alone with all the story development and writing can make it very difficult to have the full overview, and I want to leave you with everything!
          So, for my first question, Do you have any questions or moments that you still need answers to or need to get wrapped up?

ToriRHayes

@apophis03 Thank you❤️❤️

          The next chapter is coming, please be patient✨
          
          Meanwhile: do you have any summer vacation plans?☀️

ToriRHayes

@Pablo_McFluffington Out there making money! Remember to spend them now and then, so you can relax, too ;)

@ToriRHayes Well now my Summer vacation plans include being jealous of you. That sounds amazing. Hope you have lots of fun! Enjoy it, and we'll be here ready for more when you are.

@isacinnamonbun Hi!! It can be found under The Crown Saga; otherwise, you can search for my author name: Tori R Hayes, and my books should appear. Another series of mine on Galatea is called Marked, from where you can also find my author profile❤️
