I love the "Academy at War" & "School for Assassins" series. I know AAW Books 1 and 2 are published already via Amazon. Will Book 3 be published as well once complete ??
          
          Though I like AAW, I absolutley LOVE "School for Assassins", it has my heart ❤❤. Literally . So, I was wondering if one day, maybe, SFA will ever be published as well ??

@MerelyNevermore Thank you so much! 
            Yes, AAW3 will be published once it's complete. I had a bit of trouble motivating myself to write stuff during covid... and it's... it's been a challenge to get back into it. 
            But I've actually gotten myself more organized in the last 2 weeks, and I'm slowly working up to getting the same daily word counts I used to before my unintentional several year sabbatical. 
            Right now, I'm cycling through 3 books. AAW is one of them, obviously, plus Unbroken, and that's never been on WP. 
            
            Once Unbroken and the other book are complete, I have other books slated for those spots. One of those books happens to be... eh, more of a spy series? It'll be slowburn and involve a group of mostly high schoolers... but if I were going to give away any spoilers about it... I'd probably say Ely's story will be changing, and she and her guys will have some cameos.

It's time for an update! 
          
          1. For those in the US interested in Academy At War 3, it is currently being published on Kindle Vella. I still very much love the story and writing, but I write a lot better when I have a short term goal to work toward. 
          
          2. Because I wanted to work on a contemporary story as well, I've decided to completely revamp a fan favorite *cough*Unbroken*cough*. It will also be going up on Vella in a few months. 
          
          For those who can't/don't want to read it on Vella, once the books are complete, I have to leave them up for a month, then I'll remove them from Vella and put them up on Amazon (and Kindle Unlimited)

That's so exciting! I remembered how much I loved this book.

It will not be because I was completely unhappy with the pacing and the way it was turning out. And unfortunately, I now need to actually make money.

@ladybugtastic does that mean Unbroken won't be finished on Wattpad?

@polarbearsandcoffee Thank you so much! I had to put the project on hold for the summer because my kids were home and every single time I attempted to work on anything, they suddenly needed me. BUT, today is their first day back to school, which also means I get to start working on my writing projects again! 
            
            If you're in my FB group, I plan to post teasers and snippets again starting next week. :)

For those of you who enjoy Kindle Vella, Calling All the Monsters book 1 is complete. For the next couple of weeks, I'll be updating the book with some scenes from the guys' pov from before the actual story started.
          
          And, for those who haven't seen, Academy At War book 2 will be going up on Amazon March 15! As of right now, it's a thicccc boi. If you read the book on WP way back when, the completed project is almost nothing like the original, and the length of the book has nearly doubled!

For those following my Kindle Vella story, Calling All the Monsters, another chapter went live today. Only 6 chapters left before the end of season 1!
