Hi everyone 
          	
          	I wanted to share a little update and some exciting news. ERASURE was recently awarded Diamond Status in the January 30 Day Writing Challenge (30DC), and I’m incredibly grateful and honored. Thank you to everyone who has read, supported, commented, and encouraged me along the way — it truly means the world.
          	
          	I also wanted to say something from the heart. I know I haven’t been as active reading and supporting other stories lately, and I feel a little guilty about that. Life has been a bit chaotic this season. My husband is currently deployed, and it’s been a stressful and emotional time navigating everything at home.
          	
          	I appreciate your patience and understanding more than you know. This community has always been such a bright spot for me, and I’m really looking forward to diving back into reading and supporting all of your amazing stories again soon.
          	
          	Thank you for being here and for continuing to support ERASURE.

Hi Sabina,
          
          I came across your work and really enjoyed what you’re putting out especially [
          ERASURE].
          
          I work with authors to help them grow their presence on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, and one thing I’ve noticed is how much visibility and reader engagement can be left on the table when those channels aren’t fully leveraged.
          
          A lot of great authors end up relying heavily on marketplaces or publishers, when there’s actually a big opportunity to build a direct audience of loyal readers who follow and support every release.
          
          I’d be happy to share a few simple ideas tailored to your work no pressure at all. Let me know if you’d be open to a quick chat sometime 
          
          Wishing you continued success with your writing!
          
          Emilia

Hi friends 
          
          I just received the Wuthering Heights PR package from the contest and I did a full little reveal over on Instagram ✨ If you’re curious what was inside (and it’s so good), click the link below to come see!
          
          Thank you for being here and supporting my stories — I wish I could share this box with all of you.

Hi! I’ve placed it in my library and will read it in the coming days! 
            
            I hope you give any of my works a read as well! Thank you.

Hi friends —
          
          With the ONC in full swing, I’m hoping to spend some time reading entries and supporting as many stories as I can. If you’ve entered, feel free to drop your link below. I’d love to explore what you’re creating.
          
          Also… I’ve been quietly working on a new project that I’m really excited about. It started as a small idea and turned into a full rabbit hole (you know how that goes ). Somehow, beautifully, it ended up aligning with Black History Month — completely by accident, but maybe not by chance.
          
          I’ll be sharing it soon.
          
          And because I apparently can’t just write a story without building a whole world around it — I’ve created a writing Instagram where I’ll be posting a little digital diary of the process, characters, aesthetics, and behind-the-scenes thoughts.
          
          If you’d like to follow along, I’d love to have you there

          Thank you for being here. Truly. The best stories are the ones we build together.

I followed back! I’m looking forward to reading more of Roses!

@smwileywrites I get what u mean!!! I'm in my last year of uni, lots of reports to write, dissertation as well, on top of everything I have so many big paintings requests to get done and reading and writing is my only escape that’s why I’m trying to read at least 1 chapter every day !!!

smwileywrites

@andreeewa123 Aww, thank you! I appreciate the love and feedback. I, too, am super busy but hope to read a chapter or two every night of the favious stories on my "to read" list, to include yours!! I work full time and have started a Master's program but writing has defintiely been a MUCH needed outlet.

Hey just wanted to say I read “The Merger” and I loved it!! You did an amazing job transporting their character bases into a more modern twist! Also I had a question, how do you create the covers for your books? They look so good with a mix of romance and fantasy. 

smwileywrites

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate the feedback as I put a LOT of thought and energy into my writing. 
            
            I will be completely honest, I prompt AI based on my book / character descriptions to assist with cover art. I hope to one day be able to either create it on my own or work with digital artists. However, both options are out of my scope of reach at the moment.

Hello! Thank you for the follow and for adding my book Roses to your reading list. It's an enemies-to-lovers dark romance set in a small town. It also has a serial killer twist in it. If you read it, do let me know your thoughts ❤
          I love billionaire romance so I have already added The Merger to my TBR ;) can't wait to check it out! 

JaneHTimberhead

@smwileywrites you're most welcome! And take your time ❤ with life turning chaotic these days and the sheer number of books I want to read, I'm a pretty slow reader too ;)

smwileywrites

Thank you! Looking forward to diving into your work! I will say, I may be slow to work through all I have on my TBR but I will try to read at least a chapter (in a meaningful way with comments, etc) every few days.  Thank you for also giving my writing a chance! :)
