Hi
I’m wanting to read your The Dark Child Prophecy. I read in on your personal information About you that there are 8 books in this series. You currently only have 4 books listed so I’m wondering
1. Where can I read the books, and
2. What order is best to read them (I don’t want to be skipping bits)
Cheers, Dee
WATTPAD BUGS:
Hey bookworms,
I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. I wanted to put out a quick announcement that there seem to be some bugs in the Wattpad system and it may be affecting your works!
The bug seems to be happening mostly on the Wattpad laptop/desktop site, with error messages showing on the Write/My Works page. I have been unable to access any of my books on the website due to the page not loading and then showing an error message that says the page can’t be found.
I figured I would just go through my profile page instead to do any updates and add new chapters, but then my books seemed to have disappeared from my profile...
While I can still see and edit my works from my app, it’s definitely hard to keep track of analytics and upload new chapters that are (obviously) written on my computer and then copied to Wattpad. I’ve worked with the Wattpad tech team, and seems like this is quickly becoming a widespread problem for more users.
IF YOU ARE AFFECTED, please submit a bug ticket through the Wattpad Support page! The more people who report the problem, the easier it is for the awesome Wattpad team to diagnose and fix the problem. This should only take you about 5 minutes to do, and hopefully we will all be back to writing soon!
Stay Safe & Keep Writing!
xoxo,
M.
Hey, bookworms!
Happy Friday to everyone. I just noticed that "Half-Blooded" hit 11k overnight! Undead serious -- vampire joke there -- I honestly did not expect to hit this mark after just hitting 10k back in January. I'm so happy to see that people seem to enjoy the book, and looking forward to sharing new chapters and works with you soon that play along with Serenity's storyline, and her family.
If you're reading "Half-Blooded," right now, let me know! I want to hear your feedback and thoughts; what do you love, what do you hate, what's your favorite chapter? I'm always excited to read your comments, so keep them coming!
Stay safe, stay healthy, & have a great weekend!
xoxo,
M.
Hey there, bookworms!
I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during the current crisis that is spanning the world. I'm usually a pretty inactive poster (*glances at the summer 2019 date of last announcement*), but I wanted to check in with my Watt community. I hope you're staying healthy and taking the current pandemic in stride.
Chicago has grown quiet. Grocery stores are empty, businesses are closing, and our community has withdrawn themselves from our usual routines. Our offices have closed until further notice, and my boyfriend and I have had to navigate this "work from home" challenge. Our dining room table used to be reserved for me when I was deep in my rabbit hole, writing. Now it has become a dual desk as we work from 9am to 5pm as Legal Investigator and Technical Recruiter. While it is easy to fall into fear -- or even full-on denial -- that things are changing, it's important to remember why we are putting up walls between us and staying inside.
It's out of Love, for our communities, our families, and our significant others.
I'm using this abundant amount of time at home to edit drafts and write new material. You'll see consistent updates (if you haven't already) coming through for "Half-Blooded," as I edit the entire book towards a finalized draft. I'm also hoping to release a taste of what comes next for Serenity over the next few weeks in a new excerpt.
I thought the current state of the nation and the broader world would kill my creativity, just to replace it with anxiety and fear in this new phase of "adulting." But it has become my escape from reality more so than ever before. So if you find yourself in a tough spot and feeling blue from the world, plug in your headphones, listen to a new playlist and write or read! Let your downtime shape you, or fine-tune your skills. I'll look forward to seeing the art we all will create!
Stay safe & wishing everyone good health,
M.
Hey, bookworms!
Happy Sunday-Funday! For me, it's my personal day to sit with my computer, some good music, and work on my writing. You may have noticed over the last couple of days there have been updates to "Half-Blooded," and I'm happy to say I have been carving out some time for edits and chapter title changes before the Wattys 2019.
But, I need your help! If you haven't given it a read yet, I'd love for your feedback! If you have read it (and hopefully finished it all the way to the end), I want to know what you think. Comment on the final chapters or PM me so as not to spoil it for others who may have not reached that far yet. I'm hoping for some solid feedback as I go about putting together the next draft. Fingers crossed that lucky draft #3 will be the one I start to send to publishers. :D
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
xoxo,
M.
Happy Friday, everyone!
I just released the first nine chapters of Book One and it is up for reading! You can check it out here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/92408450-the-dark-child-prophecy-book-one
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend,
M.
OMG, bookworms!
"Half-Blooded" just reached 6,000 readers and I am absolutely floored and excited!!
I've been so busy working Book One of the series that I feel like I've barely looked up to watch the reads pour in. And, while I am so excited to see Serenity reach so many people, I am also excited to introduce you to the rest of her family. It's been a long time coming, but I will be releasing Part One of Book One tomorrow!
Stay tuned!
xoxo,
M.
Good morning, bookworms,
I noticed a very weird thing this morning whilst scrolling through my first few chapters of DCP. Apparently, an earlier draft somehow was re-published rather than my latest edits and revisions. So if you see some updates coming through on DCP or "Half-Blooded" today, you'll know why: better writing was meant to be read!
Have a great Tuesday!
xoxo,
M.
So is Half-Blood the first book to the series?
Hi there!
It's actually Book 4, but the way each one is written allows you to read them in whatever order you'd like. Each book changes in narrator, making them more stand-alone while still keeping within the same family of supernaturals. Hope that helps!
Hey there bookworms,
Hope everyone has had an awesome weekend! Personally, I’ve been off the grid working on this year’s cosplays AND Book 1 of The Dark Child Prophecy series!
But I did get some amazing news this afternoon that I am so pleased to announce: “Half-Blooded” has made the WattVampires Featured Story list for the month of March! I’m so excited to have been chosen. And I invite all of you to check out the other featured stories of the month that feature vampires crossing paths with other supernatural species. Check out the WattVampires’ page now to see the whole list!
Check back in when I release the first part of “The Dark Child Prophecy” in two weeks! And if you’re a geek like me, you can keep up with my cosplay progress on Instagram. The link is in my bio!
Until then, bookworms:
Nighty-night, don’t let the supernaturals bite,
M.
