Dear Luminous fans!
I apologize (again) for my disappearance. I came back today to announce I've made the decision to pause writing and posting Book 3 for now, as I'm working hard on restructuring the trilogy for traditional publishing as a 5-book series.
Don't worry, Luminous will remain here in its final form? for the time being, so let's think of the ten chapters of Book 3 as a teaser > <.
It's been a tough time lately in my life. I'm deciding where to go with my livelihood, and transitioning Luminous towards traditional publishing. I believe in the potential of Meya's story, and want to give her the best chance of success possible, and this requires extensive developmental editing from a web series into a shorter, polished novel.
There is a lot going on behind the scenes that I can't talk about yet, that I can't wait to tell you all about. I'm sorry if this post is all over the place; it's the state of my brain right now.
I want to thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for supporting me throughout these six years, being the wind under Meya's wings. The series is now working under the title "Eyes of Viridia", with the first installment being "The Dragon Forgotten". Of course, these are working titles, and my future agent and publisher (if I get one) would probably change them, but at least it won't get confused with a Korean boy band now!
That's all for now. Please stay tuned for good news down the line. I hope against hope it will be soon. Until then, take care, everyone! I love you all so much. If you want to talk, feel free to jump into my (dead) Discord. We all could do with a friendly ear in these trying times.
Wagonloads of love,
jeidafei

@jeidafei aWH, It's ok, I always think of you, and it helps to think that I'll be reading LUMI- I mean, tHe eYeS oF vIrIdiA (:sparkles:) on paper. :D Hope you're doing good. I promise, next time I get on, I'll send you a message. (I do have questions on how to publish a book, be it traditional or self-done.) And, if it builds up too much in your head, you can always just write essay after (wonderfully written) essay, and ill be glad to read them any time. :3 Only if you have the time, ofc. Don't think many ppl would come to me for advice. Xd Also, (and idk why im proud to say this), but I'm binge watching the HP movies and... Reading an unhealthy amount of Fanfics. (This part im not really proud of. ;-;)

@Staryyy2010 OMG I've missed yooooou T^T Thank you so much for this, it really warms my heart. Life hasn't been life-ing for me neither, don't worry. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but we can always talk in Discord, don't forget, if you ever want to vent. I wish I could tell you everything on my side but not yet, so fire away...! Aw, you don't like the name? Maybe it takes time getting used to. Hopefully it'll grow on you like Coris ^^. You haven't missed anything, don't worry. Viridia is a new term I'll retcon in haha.
