Hey all... won't deny it's been some time, and as much as I hate to give it any sort of due, adulting sucks sometimes. 97.3% of me gets used up at work (because they figured out I'm good at stuff) and as such I have not been writing nearly as much as you, or I, might wish.
          	
          	However... one teensy bit of good news, I suppose - the newest, latest, greatest, preferred-read-for-those-with-discerning-taste-est, bestest version of Two Cats has been published and is totally grabbable: https://www.amazon.com/Two-Cats-Aaron-Kite/dp/1988361168/
          	
          	And thanks to Amazon for providing such a reader-friendly link! Oh no, wait... I did that. Never mind.
          	
          	I'd link to Kindle purchase info, but wouldn't you know it, Amazon made that difficult too. :/
          	
          	Still... I love the newest incarnation of Vincent, and I'm sure you will as well. Enjoy. :)

@ironkite I only just saw this announcement (as I only check back on here every so often just to see if you have posted anything new ) 
          	  Thank you for providing all of us fans with an update. I hope that, while life may be crazy for now, you will be able to soon begin writing as you want to (and do some of the many other things I'm sure you enjoy). I completely understand the over working thing (70+ hrs and often 7 days/wk between 2 jobs). Just hang in there and keep dreaming of new stories! I know I do!

I've read so many stories ,from some of the best authors to have put words to page. I never expected to find a true master storyteller on an online forum like wattpad. I understand the difficulty inherent in trying to build dreams while building a life. I truly hope that someday soon the opportunity to write freely and to your hearts content, is yours. 
          I also look forward to having your books on the shelf next to the other great world builders, to share with my growing children when they ask me about my favorites.

Kinda insane really that I downloaded wattpad after about 5/6 years just to reread the Tucat series. Don't really know what I expected but it was as enthralling as the first time I read it. Crazy to think that I read this book when I was 13 and here I am a decade older. It's the first day of a new month in a new year and I'm hoping we get an update this year 
          Happy new month Aaron and Happy New Year, hope you're well and keeping safe.

Just wanted to let you know that I still regularly am thinking about the Tucat series and look forward to the day you may be able to continue it! I truly hope you are doing okay. I was curious if you have a patreon account or some other way of supporting you? I've bought the Tucat book off of Amazon and recommended it to my friends over the years. I hope you still intend to continue writing when you are able and wish you well in life! (If you end up deciding not to continue the series, think you could post a summary of an ending for those of us still hanging on for the rest? Tho, I would, of course, prefer that you complete the series at a comfortable pace for you)
          There are those of us who are still very interested in your writing and hope you are doing well in life!

Probably crazy but would you consider doing an audio book version or the Tucat series? I just got this app again after 10 years in order to find them again and I think many more people would love them if they were available. Libby, hoopla, and I'm sure others would be great avenues to bring your amazing creations to the world

ironkite

@BrantleyTin It seems I have an alert for whenever 'crazy' is mentioned in my feed...
            
            I would love for Tucat to have a voice, and be available to listen to as well as read. I absolutely *hate* the sound of my own voice, or I'd have done this myself... just unsure of the alternate options that are out there.
            
            I can't tell you how much I appreciate the support you and others have given me over the years. If I could survive on beans and rice and do nothing but write about Vincent, Joe, Gwen, Mykola, Jasper and Andrianjatovo (don't ask, I'm not 100% sure it'll go anywhere) I would. And I would die happy.
            
            Happy, but having starved to death. :(  
            
            Truth is, artists need patronage, and even if you think you have a good thing that lots of people will enjoy, it costs money to get it done. And I hate money.
            
            I'm doing what I can to get into a situation where I can even write part time and put stuff out there for people to connect with... but life is weird, and it can be difficult at times. 
            
            That being said, I'm constantly considering buying lottery tickets... so maybe it'll pan out one of these days, allow me to do whatever the hell I want. In which case, be prepared for 4 novels a year, minimum... :D
            
            Also, thank you for connecting to my stuff. It feels bad not specifically mentioning everyone over the years who has, and I love and appreciate you all, but I'm guessing if anyone loves Vincent and understands how difficult he finds it to remember things, they'll understand.

This is crazy, just came back for the same reason (in hopes of a new chapter or the physical editions) and reading the comments made me feel a little saner.

@mahiys07 true, true... thank you for responding, really.

@mahiys07 Aw, maaan..
            
            Well, after a long discussion with myself, you talked me into it.
            
            And you had me at 'crazy'. After all, sanity is at risk...

Hi! I think I’m with most others here who just check in occasionally. Tucat is still one of my favorite series and I always wanted to come back to it every few years. I hope you’re doing well! And I hope that if you do ever feel like coming back to the series you know that you will still have a group of hardcore dedicated fans.

GabbyWolke

For some reason the messaging format must have changed as I can’t access the private one I had with you last year, but I was writing to say that it brings me joy to read and reread your stories whenever I get the chance. Touch of Poison will forever bring me nostalgic joy remembering my highschool days eagerly waiting for each update and gushing with my friend over the events of each chapter. Thank you for bringing your worlds to reality for us to enjoy!

zacky0boy

Hey there. Hope you're keeping safe. You're the only reason why I still have the Wattpad app. I open it every few months in the hopes that there'll be an update. Hang in there. We'll be waiting for your when you're ready.

@ironkite I check back every year, and forgot in 2023. I am soo happyyyy!

@zacky0boy honestly, same! I only keep this app in hopes of reading more from @ironkite. I don't even care if they post that they have published the book for $60. I'd pay that cost in a heartbeat for this author! It is my dream to one day own this series as hard copy books, but until that day, I shall keep coming back to reread their works here and keep hoping to see the 4th book posted. (It's been years and getting closer and closer to a decade since the last book, but idc.) Thank you, Aaron Kite, for still checking in and letting us know you are alive and still planning on doing the 4th book!!!

@ironkite Just made my night. I read the Vincent Tucat a couple years and have been coming back time and again to see if you ever posted Book 4. This gives me hope

Hello, I’ve just finished reading all three of “The Journals of Vincent Tucat”. The writing was phenomenal. The character of Vincent was hilarious and witty. The ending of book three was my favorite part. How it all came together like a brilliant puzzle was amazing. I’m really looking forward to book 4. Your work is amazing.

ironkite

@DrakonRak I can't even tell you what your post means to me. Pls continue to stay tuned..
