Hey guys, I hope you’re all doing well. It feels so strange being back here after such a long time. I know I’ve been quiet, but I wanted to come back and properly talk to you guys instead of disappearing. First of all, thank you to everyone who stayed, checked on me, reached out, and still remembered my stories. It honestly means more than you know. I know some of you have been waiting for updates, especially my Love’s Quagmire readers, so I wanted to be honest about it. I actually have around 20-25k words drafted for the continuation. The ideas and scenes are there, but the truth is, I don’t feel like posting it. Not because I don’t care about the story, but because I care about it enough to not force something that doesn’t feel right. Right now, continuing it feels more like something I should do rather than something the characters truly need. These characters have already been through so much, and I don’t want to reopen wounds and scars they fought so hard to heal from just because I feel pressured to give an ending. Sometimes more isn’t always better, and sometimes knowing when to stop is also respecting a story. A few of you reached out to me through chats and Instagram, and I genuinely appreciate it. The fact that you still remember Love’s Quagmire and care about these characters means everything to me. I’m sorry, peeps, if I gave you hopes about the bonus chapters or made you wait. I never wanted to disappoint you guys, and I’ll definitely be more careful about what I promise in the future. Thank you for understanding that sometimes a writer’s direction changes while creating a story. But with that being said, I’m not disappearing again. I’ve been working on something new, a completely different story with new characters and a new world that I’m really excited to share with you all. I’ll update you guys. Thank you for being here. Love you all!!! I missed writing, and I’m really happy to be back :)

greetings serene. 
          
          I came across one of your books by chance when I was searching for a romance novel. I never knew it was far from what we call romance. The book is beautifully written, carefully strategized, and the plot was precisely woven into place. I don't usually go around giving feedback [I never have], but this book just had me in place. Although my exams are going on, I couldn't help but binge the whole thing in two days. the anticipation, the fear, the excitement, and emotions overtook me. The whole book was a roller coaster. from a simple marriage to finding out the dark secrets, from the way Zypher got annoyed to the beautiful honeymoon, from Evelyn's dark revealation to Daphne's miscarriage, everything was beautifully written. I didn't expect the book to be so dark, considering we like ignoring the warnings, but the way it had me wondering what the future holds, I loved it. When I read the "D-Day" chapter, believe it or not, I was on the verge of tears. It was a relief to know she's finally free, not another Evelyn in that house. Thank you for giving her the ending she deserved. thank you, author, for spending so many months and fiinishing the book. Thank you, for not quitting in between due to low reader engagement. Thank you, for bringing this masterpiece to us.
          
          I hope you have a good day [or night]. 
          
          your loveliest reader, 
          moon.

@-_couffaine_boy_- Hey Moon <3
            
            Girl, first sorry for the late reply. I read your message a while ago but wanted to take my time and actually reply properly ā€˜cause your words deserved that, for real :) Honestly, reading your message made me smile so much — like, wow, I can’t believe the story hit you that hard especially with exams going on. You’re seriously the sweetest for taking the time to write all that! Writing this book was kinda tough sometimes but knowing it kept you hooked and made you feel all those crazy emotions makes it sooo worth it. You legit made those late nights worth it, no joke.
            
            BTW, I’m updating the bonus chapters right now and thought, why keep it in my head? Gotta share it with you all! Can’t wait for you and everyone else to see what I’m working on. Thanks again for being so amazing and supportive. Readers like you give me all the motivation to keep writing stuff that really connects <3
