Hello everyone,
          
          First, I want to say thank you. Whether you’ve been following my stories for years or only recently discovered them, your support has meant more to me than I can put into words.
          
          I know I’ve been absent for a long time, and I’m truly sorry for disappearing without many updates. Life took me down a difficult and unexpected path, and I had to focus on my health and recovery. The good news is that I am incredibly grateful to share that I am now in cancer remission. It has been a long journey, but I’m finally in a place where I can look ahead with hope and excitement.
          
          Throughout everything, I never forgot about this community. I never forgot about the readers who left comments, voted on chapters, shared theories, and supported my work. Even when I wasn’t posting, the stories and the people who loved them remained close to my heart.
          
          I’m also excited to share that I’m currently working on self-publishing the stories I originally started here on Wattpad and bringing them into print. This has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I’m thrilled to finally be making it a reality.
          
          My first published book, Tears Among the Petals, is available now, and seeing it become a real book has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. (Based on my Wattpad book ‘Violets Are Blue’)
          
          And there’s more to come! My next novel, A Week with Katherine, is coming soon and will include all-new print-exclusive edits, additional content, and improvements that readers won’t find in the original version.
          
          Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your continued support during my absence. This community helped shape me as a writer, and I am so excited to share this next chapter with all of you.
          
          I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us next.
          
          With gratitude,
          Ken
          

I really hope you are okay, cancer is tough. Will we ever be getting an Ian and Emma story?
          I really hope you feel better soon.

Update!
          
          I’m back. I know you guys are probably tired of me disappearing randomly and I honestly am sorry. These last few years and especially these last few months have been hard on me. 
          
          I have cancer. And between being the sickest I’ve ever been, getting treatment, and the hit my mental health took dealing with my reality I didn’t have the motivation to do anything (let alone write).
          
          I feel like I have let you all down and I feel terrible that there was a possibility I would never be able to finish telling all the stories I’ve dreamed of.
          
          I’m doing a lot better now and I’m finally in the head space to give Coffee & Cigarettes the ending I’ve been building up to for the last ten years when I first got the idea for The Stoner & The Blind girl.
          
          As of now, I plan to focus on finishing Coffee & Cigarettes. Please have patience. New chapters are coming. Any other project I had will remain on hold for now. 
          
          If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading and for your understanding. I couldn’t have made it this far without you.
          
          -Ken 
          
          

*Update*
          
          So you may have noticed that I disappeared this last month. The truth is my health has taken a turn. And when I’m not working I’ve spent all my free time visiting doctors, getting ultrasounds, biopsies, shots, and taking medicine that makes me too drained to do anything else.
          
          At this point, I don’t know when I’ll get better again. And, it scares me to think there is a chance I might not be able to finish telling all the stories that I wanted to.
          
          I feel like I’ve wasted so much time and I’m sorry to everyone that I left waiting.
          
          I’ll do my best to finish Coffee & Cigarettes since I know that is the story that most of my readers care about.
          
          Once I finish that story, I’ll have no choice but to take a hiatus from writing and Wattpad to focus on my health. Thank you for understanding and thank you for taking the time to read my work. I wish I had the words to describe how much it’s means to me knowing something I created meant something, even just a little bit, to someone other than myself. So really, thank you.
          
          -Ken

Someone just left me know that part 4 of ‘Through Think & Thin’ never published. I’m sorry about the delay. I scheduled it but it looks like something went wrong. I’ll be publishing part 4 manually when I get home later today.

Part 4 & 5 of my new story ‘Have You Seen Me?’ are also coming later tonight! 

Part 4 of ‘Through Thick & Thin’ is coming later tonight!! That story is my rewrite of ‘The Stoner & The Blind Girl’ and does have an all new updated plot and will contain never before seen chapters. 

Part 36 of ‘Coffee & Cigarettes’ will be posted tomorrow! 

*New Story Alert*
          I've just published a new story titled 'Have You Seen Me?'. If you're interested in a little mystery please check it out!
          
          Some of you may remember I once had a story titled 'Gone', 'Have You Seen Me?' is based on that same original story but reworked. I'm excited to share more of my stories now as I get closer to finishing 'Coffee & Cigarettes'! 
          
          'Coffee & Cigarettes' is still my main focus for now. So, I plan to start updating 'Have You Seen Me?' regularly once C&C is completed.

I've been working on the finishing touches of Part 35 of Coffee & Cigarettes all day and I think its ending might be the best thing I've written in a long time. I can't wait to share it with you all.
