I’m so happy I finished this next chapter before my book signing tomorrow. The song I found for this chapter hit me pretty hard. I had never heard it before, found it by doing a Google search. I think it fits what Zayne is going through perfectly. 
          	
          	I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

@Bucket133 The signing went very well. I sold 11 books total and the shop owner asked if I'd be willing to come back next year. I like seeing people walk past the table, eyeing up my books, and then I start talking to them to draw them in. A lot of people ask questions and most end up buying at least one. At each of my 2 signings, I've had at least one person walk up, read my table cloth ("Author of Seductive MxM Romance") and say, "I love smut." I reply, "Welcome to my playground!" I don't really find anything challenging. I don't have a lot of stuff to lug around and set up only takes a few minutes. People are extremely welcoming and polite when I talk to them. I look forward to doing more but I'm most excited to participate in the author events coming up next summer.

@edzooc8r just checking in how did your book signing go? What was good about it and what was challenging? You should send out a link for all of us so we can keep up.

My apologies, dear readers, for making you wait so long for this update but I basically rewrote this entire section of one chapter. For those of you keeping track, the last chapter, this chapter, and the next chapter were all originally ONE FREAKING CHAPTER!!!!!    But no matter how frustrated I was, no matter how many times I closed my laptop and walked away, and no matter how many days I wondered if I would ever be happy with what I wrote, I believe this addition was needed. I addressed a question I meant to explain the very first time I published this story but never did. I’m curious if any of you who have read it before can figure it out. 
          
          I am seriously hoping the next part is easier. I don’t have time for all this extra writing! I need to get back to Caden and Erick!!! Thank you for being patient with me!!

I’m baaaaack!!! I had a great time recharging my battery and now I’m ready to wrestle this book into finality. I know things are moving a bit slow right now with all this internal struggle going on inside both Zayne and Bodie but trust me, things will pick up in the next chapter. Hold on! The ride’s about to get bumpy! 
          
          How is everyone doing? Drop me a few words and tell me what you’re looking forward to in the next couple of months. Take care and stay strong dear readers!!

@SuzanneLH72 Today has been exceptionally warm here, too. I love the chill of a fall morning tho, so I can't wait for the temps to lower a bit. I've been working on the next chapter, but it's going slowly. Once again, I looked at what I had written and trashed the entire opening. Please be patient. I promise to give you a better chapter soon!

@edzooc8r Glad you are all ready to sort these two noodles out and get that evil bloke sorted out! I’m doing fine and enjoying this unusually warm autumn weather. Wattpad, world news, Dutch general election and my smashing family are keeping me on my toes! Hugs ❤️❤️❤️

I’M FINALLY DONE WITH THIS CHAPTER!!!! 3800+ words later my one chapter has become 2 totaling almost 8k words!! I sincerely hope that all my hard work has paid off and you truly enjoy what I have written. Please let me know in the comments. I’d really appreciate it. Take care everyone! Have a great weekend!

Dearest readers,
          I have no idea what happened to this chapter. It should have been an easy edit. But a few paragraphs in, Zayne took over and changed everything! And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING!!!! In fact, very little of the original chapter is left. What started out as a 2k word chapter has now become this almost 4k word extra chapter and who knows how many words for the next. 
          However, after working on it for three days, I do feel that this chapter was necessary for Zayne’s backstory. Whatever he was trying to tell me, I tried to write it as well as I could. Hopefully, you’ll like it. For those of you who read this story when I originally published it, please read this chapter as so much more depth has been added to Zayne’s character. I love these characters so much and I hope I do them justice by going off on random tangents like I did with this chapter. 
          Well, time to eat dinner and get my hair done for my book signing on Sat. Take care and stay strong! Just like Zayne!!!

Well damn!!!! This chapter was a bitch to edit. I feel much better about it however, I’m going to look to all of you to point out any spelling, punctuation, or flow issues. Be nice tho! Hopefully my diligence paid off and it turned out the way I wanted it to. 
          
          I received some more good news about Soul Moon! A bookstore has agreed to carry 5 copies in their store AND I’ll be doing a book signing there as well in Dec. I’m so excited! It’s scary putting myself out there in the real world with people who can actually see and talk to me. But I’m gonna be brave and draw strength from all of you, my wonderfully supportive readers who remind me with all your votes and comments that you’re right there with me. Thanks to all of you for showing me dreams do come true. You just have to work hard and never give up! 
          
          Take care and stay strong dearest readers!!

Wow! Things have been a bit stressful for me the past few weeks, both in good and bad ways. But now I'm ready to start final edits on Strength, the third and final book in my ASC series. For those who have read it before, you may want to reread it because I'm sneaking in a little plot twist that should have been included the first time, but for some reason I didn't write it. I have goosebumps and giggles (of the devious nature) just thinking about it. 
          
          There will be no set schedule for chapter updates, although I hope to publish two chapters per week. However, because of the stress this month, I don't want to put any undo pressure on myself. I know you will all be understanding and supportive of my decision because you're all the best! 
          
          Once Strength is completed, I will immediately begin working on Soul Moon. I'm not sure if I will have a schedule for that yet. We'll see how my life is going at that point. I have had another bookstore willing to carry a few copies of SM, which makes me so excited for the future of this series! 
          
          Take care and stay strong, dear readers! Make sure you find a moment to breathe, set boundaries when needed, and have fun!

@edzooc8r -  I am looking forward to reading the last book of ASC and finding out what your new plot twist will be. However, I must admit that Soul Moon is my absolute favourite of yours and can’t wait to continue Caden and Erick’s amazing story! Great that another book store is going to carry the first book. Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
