We saw a bit more of Valari in today's chapter of Through the North, so it seemed like the right time to share her 'photo' over on Instagram! Take a look if you want to see the woman Evrik's trying to win over!

Hi, have you read the pirate king? I think you'd like it

juliecotewriter

@princessporcupin Woah, sorry for never replying to this! I looked today and actually noticed that The Pirate King is already in my library, I just haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi I just wanted to ask when are you gonna continue reading IRON AND FLAME again?

juliecotewriter

@yukishan777 Sorry, I haven't had a lot of time to read lately. I've been working really hard on my own writing.

I’d like some advice on writing BxB stories, I started my first last night called Wildfire

juliecotewriter

@Lucas1091 I can't think of any general advice at the moment, but feel free to reach out if you end up having any more questions!

@juliecotewriter I don’t know if I do or not, so focus on dialogue noted. Anything else I should know?

@Lucas1091 So I guess the first thing you need to decide are if you even want to include sex scenes, which aren't necessary if you don't want to. But if you do, I think you'll have to figure out what style works best for you, your characters, and your story.
            
            My style is to focus heavily on dialogue, because an important character trait for one of the guys is how much he talks to maintain control over situations. I don't actually describe most of the physical stuff, and usually do a fade-to-black sort of thing. That's what works for me, at least in these books.

Good news!
          
          I will start posting Part Two in April, starting this friday. Just to keep giving myself some leeway, I'm going to start off posting every second week for now. 
          
          Just a reminder that starting in Part Two, there will be some spoilers for the Wanderlust Trilogy. If you haven't yet, and would like to read those books without spoilers, now's the time!
          
          Once again, thanks for the patience everyone! I'm very excited for you all to see these boys properly meet!

@DrDoctor593 Just a tiny hiatus! I'm excited to start up again!

Yesterday I reached 1,000 followers!
          
          I wish I had thought up something special to share to celebrate this milestone, but it snuck up on me. I'll try to come up with something in the next week or two!
          
          But in the meantime, I just want to say an enormous thank you to everyone who follows me, follows my books, reads them and comments.
          
          When I joined Wattpad, I had six fully written novels that had only ever been read by a few friends. Posting the first two (Without a King and Wanderlust) encouraged me to write more, and even re-write the other four Greatest Thief books! Now look at me! A completed trilogy, a surprise stand alone (I+W), and the GT books are well on their way.
          
          The love everyone has shown for my world and characters has improved my writing and encouraged me to keep going. I am so grateful.
          
          And one day, if I do manage to get any of these books traditionally published, you can all know that you helped make it happen!
          
          Thank you!

@cheez_the_clown Thank you! Hopefully it won't take too long to get there!

I'm glad everyone has been enjoying the latest chapter of Through the North! I was really looking forward to finally reaching this point!
          
          This is the end of Part 1 of the book. And I'm genuinely sorry to announce that there's going to be a bit of a wait for Part 2. Unfortunately I didn't get as much writing done in Jan/Feb as I wanted, and so I don't have very many chapters ready to go. I like to be further ahead so that none of my chapter suffer from being rushed.
          
          Therefore, I've decided that despite the huge cliffhanger, this is the best point to take a break. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to start up Part 2 (The Lakes) in April!
          
          This does give anyone who hasn't yet, but would like to read the Wanderlust Trilogy spoiler-free a chance to do so! Moving forward in TtN there will be some spoilers. Nothing huge, but things like certain side character who are or aren't still around.
          
          Again, I'm sorry for taking a break but I appreciate everyone's patience! The boys (all four of them!) will be back soon!

@juliecotewriter Haha maybe even we get another wave of COVID so bad that everything is locked down again... though I suppose I shouldn't hope for that XD
            I think catching up on this story at least will be doable, though! <3

@DragonsFly937 At least it's not a sad cliffhanger, right! I could have done way worse haha. Thanks for your support!
