Since it's still going to be a while before Moonquill starts working on Luminous: Book One (my assigned editor is still working on another book due June 30), I'm struggling to find updates for you guys. 
          
          Anyway, as I slowly self-edit Book Two, I'm getting ideas for Book 3, and some are almost finalized. And they're fire. 
          
          So here's what you can expect from Book 3!
          
          - Meya will give birth (no surprises there XD). 
          - Meya will be appointed Dragon Ambassador. She will deal with integrating dragons into Latakian society, and setting up a school for dragons.
          - Meya and Co. will travel to Amplevale and into the Zarel Pass (that leads to Nostra) and find the source of the drought.
          - (This one is crazy) Meya and Coris will cross the ocean on a small raft, Cast Away-style, to get to Everglen. Sickest honeymoon ever...and probably the one to make or break a marriage XD.
          - Meya will find someone who should've been dead for 200 years on Everglen.
          - Meya will witness dragons leaving Nostra, ending the centuries of terror.
          
          That's it for now. What do you guys think? Personally, I can't wait to write the honeymoon XD. All the PAIN and ANGST. Gaaaaaaah.

AHAHASHAHAHAHA I CANNOT TEXT ON UR DISCORD SERVER 
          I CANNOT VERIFY MY PHONE NUMBER-

MoonQuill, the publisher I signed Luminous with, just dropped their first romantasy title (under their Cozy Unicorn imprint), complete with printed-edges hardcover and an epic book trailer. Gaaaah I can't wait for them to work on Luminous and fingers crossed Meya gets this royal treatment as well XD.

Dear readers, sorry for the radio silence. I'm just back from a long holiday. 
          I probably should have told you all sooner, but I wanted to be sure before I make it official. 
          
          I've signed a contract with an indie publisher, MoonQuill Publishing, to publish LUMINOUS again from Book 1. 
          
          So, Luminous will stay on Wattpad until a month before publication, which is a loooong way to go. REJOICE!
          
          That's it for now. Take care!

Hey, I can’t find book 2 on Wattpad. 

Ok so I just found your book and got curious and found it on another pirate website the website is fairly big so you probably already know about it. anyway I’m new to this and I don’t think private messaging is a thing anymore and I don’t want to list the name here if you want the website name, let me know

Heyyooo a fellow writer here, I'm not good with feedbacks but I taken an inspiration of some of your story, I was a reading bit of chapters all the way to chapter 15, I must say its.. very good, I was actually enjoying the story so far, it's a shame that Luminous is leaving wattpad, I understand your frustration about self publishing and such, honestly I get that too about the frustration with wattpad not being the same, it's hard to get reads now these days, but overall I taken a few glimpse of your chapters in Luminous and Luminous: Emerald prequel. I really like it, the characters, the world building and the story arcs you got going on, it's really fascinating. I just started reading for a few days
          
          I always enjoy fantasy stories and such (I'm a dark fantasy nerd xD)
          
          But as i said, it's a shame Luminous is leaving and the story you have is really good haha but I understand! Good luck with your publishing story and hope it works out!

          I've been leaving thank you messages on the profiles of bingers who voted on the story. So far all has ignored me. One even deleted my message. And all their profiles are just dead. Do people even use their profile pages anymore?
          
          Anyway, after 6 months, I finally heard from an indie publisher. They seem new and inexperienced, their portfolio so far is hit-and-miss, and they've just begun their foray into romantasy.
          
          But I'm tempted to let them handle Luminous. I was so exhausted publishing Book 1 on my own. I don't have money for a proper cover, edit, and marketing. And no-one is buying or leaving feedback. I also have no chance of getting traditionally published. I'm one of those writers who in this life probably has one story in them. This publisher is so far the only willing to give previously online stories like mine a chance, even when it already failed from self-publishing.
          
          Sounds desperate, I know. But what choice do I have?
          
          Wattpad is also no longer the platform my brother introduced me to over a decade ago. I was once contacted I can apply to be a Wattpad Star if my story is complete with over 100K views. Now, you can only enter Wattpad Originals with a brand-new story that follows their 'Verticals' (*cough* cliches *cough). And what are those? Dangerous Love, Hot Encounter, Werewolf...This is what people read nowadays, and it's not what I write.
          
          So, Luminous IS leaving, one way or another. To the 15 people who purchased Luminous: Book 1, if my deal with the publisher goes through, you'll be holding the only 15 copies in the world of this first edition. So, congratulations! As Luminous must be re-published with a new cover, and no more than 10% can be available online.

@jeidafei boooo! that's so sad! Man, they really oughta find a way to curb this. Not only is it unkind, it harms an author's efforts. I wish they'd really do something about it, honestly
