Happy Tuesday!
          	Confession: I read stories way too slowly.
          	I tend to dig deep, pause every few paragraphs and soak it in, reread, and basically drag myself through the book word by word.
          	I'm sure some of you wonder why it takes me so long to get through your books. Well, there you have it, I'm elaborately slow. 
          	(It doesn't help that I'm easily distracted and my job has me constantly pulled away - lol - but I wouldn't give up my career for a bazillion hours of uninterrupted reading. I truly do love my job.)
          	If I have gotten halfway through your book and it ended up lost in my TBR, feel free to remind me. I'll jump on that next chapter and read a bit more.
          	Have a fabulous day friends!
          	~JK~

Happy Monday!
          New chapter (finally) added to Marley and the Barrington Brothers (With a poll! Yay). I also added spicy symbols to the chapters that may be too much for sensitive readers. 
          Remember, this will be a You Choose book. The first book is fully written. (I'm just posting chapters sporadically for the fun of it.)
          The other four books (yes, FOUR) are in the works. Since and my regular career is insanely time consuming, and I don't use AI to bulk up my writing, it takes a lot longer to get stories written. Therefore, the four additional books will take a couple years to finish.
          Hugs and Love to all of you!
          Have a Marvelous Monday!

@jacquiekaye Hey there! I just saw this message and I checked this book out. Love it, it seems amazing! I will add it to my TBR! This will definitely be my next read after your books about Rogue and Genie! ❤️

It's a Fabulous Friday!
          HELP! A question about Chapter Numbers for you.
          When I put my first few books on Wattpad I didn't number the chapters. (I think because I'm used to formatting in Vellum which automatically puts the chapter numbers on the books for me.)
          Should I go back to these books and put chapter numbers on the titles of the chapters? If I do, will it erase what few comments I have on there? It doesn't take long to add the chapter numbers but I don't want to do it if it's going to mess things up.
          Let me know your thoughts.
          Thanks!
          ~Jacquie~

Happy Monday my beautiful readers and authors!
          Just curious.
          I’m not a big commenter as it is, but now that the comments are shown on Social Feed I’m even less likely to comment because I don’t want everyone to see them.
          Let me know your thoughts about ‘Comments’ and the ‘Social Feed’.
          Thanks in advance for your opinion. (Kind wording only please).
          Note: This conversation will be deleted by Tuesday. I'm just putting it out there to hear  a wee bit of your thoughts.
          ~~~
          BY the way, It was a CRAZY weekend! So much fun and celebrating!
          Go Scotland! (soon-to-win FIFA World Cup 2026) and Go Knicks! (2026 NBA Champions!)
          ~~~
          Hugs and Love,

@Dandan0_3  I didn't even think of the spoilers! That's so true. I hope that Wattpad will be able to provide a way for us to hide the comments or something. I know they're working on tweaking it, but I'm sure it's a lot to figure out. I doubt we'll see that anytime soon. Thanks so much for your input! I'm always curious to hear what others think.

@jacquiekaye For myself, I'm not a big fan of it. It opens stories up to be spoiled: endings, plot twists, etc. It's a little frustrating to be honest. I know, for my own story, there are plot twists that I worked hard on so to have them spoiled in a comments feed is just disheartening. I wish, it were something we had the option to turn off. That is just me though! ♡

Hi Hi Hi!
          Feeling feisty so I decided to release the first few chapters of 'King of the Quarry', the companion novel to 'Empress of the Moon'. This book is told completely from the male main character's point of view (Lord Tursh). I think I'm liking his book even better than Empress. I have 53 chapters written but will be releasing them slowly. It can be read separately from Empress of the Moon.
          Enjoy!

Hey, thank you so much for following me and adding my ONC book to your list! I truly appreciate that! I just dropped by to say that I absolutely love your books "Taming the Rogue". I started it a while ago, but then I decided to enter this year's ONC and it kind of made me pause reading. But I will pick it up again. Just wanted to show my appreciation for your work, because I remember how captivating your book is. Great, great work! Anyway, have a lovely day or evening! ❤️

Coffee-Chic

@jacquiekaye I do! It was one of the first books I picked up to read after a loooong hiatus from Wattpad. I plan on picking it up again this weekend! It has been on my reading list all this time. Thank you so much for reading The Heir of Ashes! Regarding Resonance I understand that it can be a bit overwhelming. It was the first fantasy story I wrote (I put it on hold for ONC) and I wanted to practice writing world building. :) Thank you so much for your kind words! Keep up the amazing work yourself as well, your books are great reads! ❤️

@Coffee-Chic Thanks! It's so encouraging to hear when someone loves your work. I had a busy few months but things have slowed down a scoonch and I have more time to read. Reading The Heir of Ashes right now. I started Resonance a while ago but sadly didn't have the time to stick with it. The Resonance world building was a bit overwhelming at the time (since I didn't have enough brain matter at the moment to process it) but hopefully I'll have a chance to pick it up again in the future. You're a doll and a wonderful author! Keep up the amazing work!  ~Jacquie~

Happy Wednesday fellow readers and authors!
          Thank you, thank you, thank you for the reads and loves and comments!
          Each one is very much appreciated.  
          Looks like it's going to be a rainy afternoon. ️ Perfect for curling up with a good book (or five).  
          As you may already know, I have many, many books that are partially or fully written sitting in Scrivener just waiting for their moment to shine. Having grown weary of traditional publishing, I've published a few here on Wattpad and I am considering giving you a handful more.
          •~•~•~•
          Updates:
          • 'Devil of the Rising Sun' has been fully edited and I've scheduled one chapter a week to publish every Friday morning. 
          • 'Empress of the Moon' is fully written but I'm struggling with my editing since it's such a plot heavy novel. I've scheduled a chapter a day to be published at 8:00 AM (New York time) until the end of June.  I'm also considering publishing its companion novel 'King of the Quarry' told from Lord Tursh's POV (I have to say, I think I like his even better). 
          • I'm changing the ending of 'Bitter Berry Ranch', so bear with me as I rewrite.
          • 'Releasing the Genie' is fully written and scheduled to be completely published as of July 25th-ish.
          • 'Taming the Rogue' (completed novel) has always had a wonderful amount of reads. I'm absolutely thrilled that you're enjoying it. 
          • 'Marley and the Barrington Brothers' is still a work in progress. The FMC is making me nuts.
          • 'One Less Tear to Cry' has not been getting nearly enough attention as it deserves. But maybe it's for the best. It's a heart crusher (but it has a happy ending).
          Anywho. I hope you are all having a Wonderful Wednesday!
          Keep doing the good things!
          Hugs and love,
          ~JK~

Hi and Hello on this marvelous Monday!
          This post goes out to my romantasy readers.
          I've decided to publish one chapter of Empress of the Moon daily. I started writing the novel a decade ago, so it is due for some attention.
          I'm also considering publishing the companion novel (King of the Quarry) from the male main character's point of view but that particular book is only about halfway completed, so it needs some work. 
          I hope you take a peek at Empress of the Moon and give it some love.
