Hi All, I want to promote this amazing book once again. @cstahle has written a second version titled Before He Was Red, which you can now buy via Amazon. She has kindly sent me a copy, and I'm so proud to say she has named me on the back cover. I shall treasure this book for the rest of my life and am so proud to have been included in part of her journey.  You can see photos of the front and back covers of the new version on the last page of my American holiday book. I will share this book too soon so you know where to look.
          	I joke with my family that this will be the only time they see my name on the cover of a book. Haha.
          	Thanks again, Christina, for including me and sending me a copy.
          	I urge you all to read this book. It's so good. Afterwards, you will want a copy to keep. Xo

Hi All, 
          I hope you had a fantastic holiday season. 
          I've been editing my book, The Mice Do Play, and I am thrilled to see it is number one in Contemporary Romance at the time of writing this.
          As I read and edited, I reread a lot of the comments.  It put a huge smile on my face to see what readers said five years ago. It also shocked me to realise that 5 years had passed. Some of these comments seemed like I'd only read them yesterday. 
          I want to say a huge thank you to those who read Mice back then, but special thanks goes to @SteveRattray for all the edit suggestions, which I finally got around to using. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️
          If anyone wants to read Mice, with poll questions included, hit the link.  I'd love to see your names pop up. Xo

Congrats, Donna! Editing a book is such a tedious task ♥️ and yeah, I bet Steve's nit-picks came in handy! I'll add this one in my read list, too! ☺️✨

@donnaf1828 In this area we finished the year about four inches below normal for rainfall, so everyone would like some rain. Not a cyclone, though! Strange, but we haven't had much snow yet. Are you going to participate in ONC this year? If any of the prompts speak to me, I think I'll give it a go.

donnaf1828

@DennisRoyer That's a lot of rain you haven't got. It's snowing in Mass where my son and daughter in law live. We hope to spend Christmas with them in 2027.
            Same for ONC. I'll look at the prompts, and if any grab me, I'll give it another go. I was very happy to have made it to the final round.

Checked the updates of everything that's been going on - I'm so sorry to hear about it. I hope you're okay! Sorry I haven't been reading lately. Got a new job and it's been pretty demanding. Just know, I'm always here:
          
          From, Your number one fan ❤️

donnaf1828

@iAmMokoto Aw, thank you. No worries about the reading. Life gets in the way.❤️
            I'm all good, though it was a shock. Xo

I noticed you looked at one of my stories. Thanks, how have you been? I hope all is great with you and the family. 

donnaf1828

@dram12 Yes, I've put it on my list. I've been on and off with Wattpad.  It's been a busy couple of years, I went to America last year for 2 months to visit my youngest son, and then we sold our house, which was hard work, I repainted the inside first and now we have a new house in a different town. We've been here about 6 weeks. It needs work, painting, which I've started, and a new bathroom, gardens etc plus we have a new granddaughter,  that makes 2 now, that I try to spend as much time as I can with. I hope to get to your new book soon. I just have a few that I'm finishing soon.
            Have a great Christmas and New Year. Xo

@donnaf1828 same with the end of chapter comments. they added it about a year ago and had all sorts of issues. I think on some OS it works fine in the app but not mine. On the web page it works well. I'll try sending Danica a message on Discord. When I changed to a pen name is the last time she messaged, before that it was nearly 3 months...

Hi! I’m almost finished with my two-book story and I’m looking to connect with people who genuinely want to read and support each other’s work. Not the mass vote-for-vote stuff, real engagement! I want to actually read and enjoy the stories I support, and hopefully find others who feel the same way towards mine. We put our hearts into these and they deserve recognizing Ideally, I’d love to build a small group that not only gives real feedback, but also recommends each other around when we see true engagement. If you’re in, I am, just let me know ☺️ You have a lot of interesting writings so if there is a specific one you would recommend I read, tell me, thanks!

DjMaine0

@donnaf1828 thanks so much, look forward to it ✨

            Hi, Dj, I definitely love to connect with genuine supportive people and have been very lucky to have connected with some amazing writers who do the same. I have put your book one in my reading lists. I have 4 books that I'm supporting at the moment and will definitely start yours when I finish some of these. Here's a few names of other supportive writers you might connect with.
            DennisRoyer, CFarley982, LEGlazebrook, StardustHex, JonLeePeto, SteveRattray, IAmMokoto, JessEubanks. 
            As for books of mine, The Evolution of Rohan Wayland needs some love. :) But definitely up to you which book you choose. Xo.

Hi All, 
          I just want to thank everyone for the feedback given about the deletion of my book Shifted by Wattpad. 
          I've posted a screenshot of the message I received on the last page of my American Holiday book. I thought you might find it interesting to see how the message looks and why I'm so confused about it. 
          It appears that each chapter has been selected in a random order for one reason or another to be deleted.
          Just so you know, there are probably 3 chapters in this book of a sexual romantic nature, and ages are probably mentioned twice. And yes, I neglected to change those ages from 17 to 18, when Wattpad changed the age of consent in their codes, so I take full responsibility for that. I find it astounding that the whole book was deleted for this reason. The worst part is that I feel like I've committed a heinous crime, but I'm not sure what that crime is. Plus, I've lost all the feedback on the story about editing, suggestions, etc. Feedback that I value highly and was planning to refer to when getting time to edit this book :(
          Anyway, onwards and upwards.  Thanks for all your support over the years.

@donnaf1828 I haven't heard from Danica in a while... since May on Discord. I am finding it slow going but it was pretty slow here so not much of a difference for me. Their app has its issues but paragraph comments are now a thing... reviews and reactions, not sure if those were a thing the last time you checked.

@SilviaKrpatova Yes it is. I can't explain it.
