Hello to anyone still out there!
          	
          	I wanted to pop in and give an update on things since it’s been quite a while.
          	
          	If you haven’t already heard, the Radish app is shutting down at the end of the year and users will no longer be able to access the books that were posted there, which includes the Fairytale Series. However, you can find the Fairytale Series on the Tapas app. This includes the original books I wrote *and* the extra chapters of Once Upon a One Night Mistake and Roses & Thorns that the ghostwriters at Radish produced over the years.
          	
          	Unfortunately, since Radish and Tapas are separate apps, any chapters you unlocked on Radish won’t carry over to Tapas. It's a pain but is sadly out of my control.
          	
          	Speaking of things out of my control, please be aware that *I do not own the rights to the Fairytale Series* and have no say in anything related it. Everything regarding where the books can be posted or what can be done with them is up to the parent company that owns both Radish and Tapas, Kakao.
          	
          	Other works under this name will not be returning to any online platforms, as I’d like to take some of those ideas, rewrite them, and traditionally or self-publish them in the future. I kindly request that you don’t ask me to personally send you copies any of these stories, as I don’t feel comfortable having those documents floating around. I’m really sorry!
          	
          	I am, however, writing new things! I’m publishing as Simone Soltani and I have an ongoing Formula 1 romance series out in bookstores. You can find them wherever you typically buy books!
          	
          	I’m sorry for disappearing without saying much. Things in my life changed pretty suddenly a few years ago (my mom died, I got laid off, etc.) and I took a step back from everything, but I’m here to essentially close this chapter. 
          	
          	Thank you for the love and support you’ve shown me. I wouldn’t be doing what I am now without you all, and I’m so grateful that you’ve made me into the writer I am today ❤️
          	
          	All my love,
          	Simone

So glad to hear from you Simone! 
          	  
          	  I’m really sorry to hear about everything with the Fairytale series not being able to own your own work must be difficult. I’m glad you are still moving forward and going the self publishing route. I am very excited to read the F1 book, wishing you all the best and am here to support you on your journey. Thanks for making my reading world such a special one! <3

Sigh One Directions 16th year anniversary was a few days ago and I started thinking about four thrones from your book Boys in Bands specifically Zora and Weston. I hope you get a chance to rewrite and publish it one day maybe after you complete your “Lights out” series (which is amazing btw keep up the good work). Wishing you more success and happiness

xchristell

I am begging u. I literally explain the plot to all my friends is there any way I can read it like even if it’s uploaded on another random account or just the drafts on google drive but obviously trademark or copyright it or whatever you need to do because I remember the scandal of people copying the plot. I will literally pay to have a copy please is there anyway I can contact you? #dyingwish.

I've been on a man hunt trying to find the once upon a one night stand, I'm so glad I finally found your profile ✨ I absolutely adored that book and wanted to reread it but I can't find it anywhere. Is it at all possible you could repost it? 

simonesaidwhat

@Rudjul Hi! You can find the entire Fairytale Series on the Tapas app

Hey Simone! Hope you're doing well. I just received an email that Radish will no longer be available from next year. I was wondering what comes next in regards to The Fairytale series? Does this mean we will no longer be able to read any of your books? 
          

NicolexNoelle

@famousme123 sorry, for the long reply! Amazon still has a still short time! Idk how long time 
Contestar

famousme123

@famousme123 I'm assuming they've taken it down. I'll have to look into buying a paperback version since I cannot find anything on Kindle/Kobo. 
            I just want to add, Arabian nights has been a staple summer read for the past 7 years! You've woven pure magic into your books as I am literally transported to a fictional country vibrant with culture.
            Thank you for allowing us to read it for as long as we have and for your response x

@famousme123 Radish had published it on Amazon once, but I think they might have taken it down? I'm not completely sure, since it looks like the ebook is still available in Kindle Unlimited (to me, at least). It seems the paperback is still up for purchase on Amazon, but I'm not sure what shipping might be like for folks.
