Hey everyone, Lucas here!
          	
          	I just wanted to give a quick update and explain why I’ve been gone for a bit. Life has been a lot lately, and I’m juggling work and studying at the same time, and it’s been pretty overwhelming. Finding the time and mental space to write has been harder than I expected.
          	
          	I also don’t want to post a chapter just for the sake of posting. Val and Rowan’s story means a lot to me, and it wouldn’t feel right to release something rushed, random, or without purpose. I want every chapter to move the plot forward and stay true to the heart of the story. For that reason, I’ve been taking extra time to plan, restructure, and polish the chapter I’m working on, and honestly…I’m still not satisfied with it yet.
          	
          	I’m also dedicating time to the turning point of Carmello and Ryder’s story. Their relationship is finally starting to bloom, and I want to give it the attention and depth it deserves. My goal is to let their arc grow naturally and bring it up to speed with the main story in a way that feels earned and emotional.
          	
          	So please be patient with me. I’m taking a short hiatus so I can regroup, balance work and studying, and let finals pass. I’m really sorry if this causes any disappointment, but I’d rather deliver something meaningful than something forced.
          	
          	Thank you for understanding and for sticking with me. Your support and appreciation have genuinely been one of the highlights of my year. I’m truly grateful for every message, every bit of encouragement, and every moment you’ve spent with my story. Thank you, once again, from the bottom of my heart. ♡
          	
          	-Lucas.

          Hiii, lovely author
          
          It’s my first time commenting, and I just wanted to say how much I love your books. They genuinely hold a special place in my heart. Your stories have brought me a sense of comfort, especially during a really dark period in my life, and I’ll always be grateful for that.
          
          I also wanted to ask … do you perhaps have a love interest planned for Roger?
          
          And if not- well…Lee is very much single.
          
          Just saying.

@the_tortured_author Hey, how are you doing?  When will you update next chapter of mommy issue? I am Dying to read what happened next. 
          I want to ask if there will be a story of reiner the doctor brother and who will be his partner if not please write his own story and also plz tell me that no brother will die in mommy issues??

TOBIBRUNO

Can we ready the spin off without having read daddy issues? I came across it first and really want to read it. 

the_tortured_author

@TOBIBRUNO it's gonna be hard to read the spinoff before Daddy issues, since the characters and events from the first book coincides with this one.

@TOBIBRUNO you have to read daddy issue first to have a better understanding of Mommy issues

heyy lucas sorry to bother but like can you update on rr and also when will you start writing the storyline between ruben and michael will they have their own book or like they’ll have it on mommy issues? anyways take your time and i hope everything goes will !!

the_tortured_author

@rmrmgotme it will have the employee x employee vibes where they both work for Rossi but different roles. Close proximity will play a huge role. No Michael will not like Ruben or anything he stands for. He only likes Rowan and Ryder from the bunch. There will be conflicts with the age gap especially in how they communicate with each other emotionally. (There will be other external conflicts ofc) 
            
            Mikey was born an omega but took meds to make transition into a beta. This is what Armando has done with himself. (He was an alpha turned beta). This was hinted in Rough Ryder.

@the_tortured_author yk i thought they would be friends to lovers bc they both work together so yk i thought they’ll have tension but anyways their age gap!!! will they have some issues being together because of it ? bc literally mikey is in his early twenties while ruben in his thirties. and yk what ? i thought mikey was easy but you said he ain’t falling so easy!! im so excited for their story i really want to know who had feelings first. and i have a question during daddy issues you said mikey was a beta but on rr ryder said mikey is an omega can i know why mikey’s lying about that and saying he’s an beta? im so sorry my questions are many

@kutkut22 hi, i'm doing well ~ & i'm working on the chapter of Mommy Issues. Hopefully by this weekend >.< 
            
            And as for Reiner, I do have a story planned. But things to note about his character: 
            
            Reiner is the only straight brother. He is attracted to only women. He is dogmatic and pragmatic.  (I'm planning my first straight story :>) 
            The story will be told through her pov & I'm still deciding on an actual title. I currently have it called: HER
