Hello new and old followers! 
          
          I am back! 
          
          This is an extra long post! 
          
          I want to say I am so sorry for my hiatus. My grandfather passed as I mentioned in a previous post, that took a huge blow out of me obviously. 
          
          I’m doing better now. 
          
          For those who don’t live in Australia, this summer we had a crisis with bushfires, sadly a few of my friends homes were burnt down in the country and I have spent majority of time helping them as much as I could. Thankfully no one was hurt, but it has been a very tragic time. 
          
          I’ve also spent the last three weeks volunteering in Thailand at a dog shelter! They take in dogs from the streets with critical injuries, puppies, or any stray dog no matter what condition they’re found in and give them the help they need and also find loving families to adopt them. It was the most rewarding time of my life. If you ever have the opportunity to do this, I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
          
          I planned to upload as usual over there but I was in the sticks (in Australian lango that means in the middle of no where) and I wasn’t aware there was no wifi, which was probably a good thing because I got a much needed reset. 
          
          All this being said, I apologise for my up and down and all around with posting, life has been throwing crazy right hooks for months now but it’s getting better. 
          
          I actually ended up deleting the last few chapters of Strawberries and Cream because I wasn’t happy with the ending, so I’m currently editing those newer written chapters and will be posting weekly from now on! I will be posting EVERY WEDNESDAY whoop whoop!! 
          
          But I love you all and have missed my little community. Thanks for all sticking by me and JJ and Aurora and also JJ and Dove. 
          
          Tell me who you prefer in the comments! I actually REALLY want to know xx I love both my gals equally, I can’t have favourites as the mum of both lol. 
          
          Enjoy the new three chapters! Much more to come xx

I miss u hope everything is okay ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello everyone.
          
          I just wanted to firstly say I am so sorry I've been gone and haven't posted chapters as of lately. 
          
          Over Christmas/New Years my Granda (Grandfather) sadly passed away. He was very old but so full of life and I used the time to grieve with my family. 
          
          He was an inspiration to me, the best person I will ever know. He inspired me to start writing actually, a couple of years ago my dad and I found a whole stack of papers hidden in his computer desk, he had been writing his whole life story for his grandchildren. He never got to finish it, but I am so excited to read it when I can. 
          
          I am taking a break still, as you are all aware Strawberries and Cream is finished on my end, besides from some editing before I publish chapters, so I will definitely be trying to upload some throughout the week if I can. It's been a hard time, but I am so dedicated to my writing and have really missed all of my interactions with you all... I hope all of you aren't too angry with me :(
          
          Anyways, thank you all for sticking by me and waiting for chapters. I will be uploading a chapter or two this week/next week but I do apologise ahead of time if chapters are few and far between, but it won't be as long as a wait as it has been lately. 
          
          I love you all and can't wait to hear your thoughts on the next coming chapters <3
          
          Lots of love Tillymaiee xoxo

Hi everyone!
          
          Sorry for the delay on chapters! Christmas has been hectic especially with my new niece hehe!
          
          I will be posting four chapters the day after Boxing Day! I can’t WAIT for you guys to read these chapters omg! If I have time tomorrow I may upload a cheeky chapter or two xx 
          
          Merry Christmas everyone! Love you all xo 

Three new chapters for Strawberries and Cream are out! <3
          
          Thank you so much for your patience, my loves. The delay was for a very happy reason... my sister welcomed her baby a little earlier than expected, and our family has been wrapped up in the kind of joy that stops time for a moment. Everything is okay, everyone is healthy, and my heart is very full.
          
          I also want to acknowledge something much heavier.
          
          For anyone affected by the horrific act of violence at Bondi on Sunday, please know that my heart is with you. Watching it unfold here in Australia was deeply upsetting and honestly hard to comprehend. While I don’t live in Sydney, many people I love do, and I am grateful beyond words that they are safe. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and everyone who was impacted. 
          
          It’s also important to me that I say this clearly. Islam is a beautiful religion rooted in peace, mercy, and compassion. Muslims believe in one God, Allah, the same God worshipped in Christianity and Judaism. At the heart of Islam are values of charity, humility, justice, care for the poor, and deep respect for human life. Kindness, forgiveness, and community are central to the faith, and harming innocent people is strictly forbidden in Islamic teachings. Acts of violence do not represent Islam or its beliefs, they represent individuals who distort faith to justify hatred and harm.
          
          To anyone who is struggling right now... whether from fear, grief, anxiety, or just feeling overwhelmed, please don’t carry it alone. If you’re in Australia, Lifeline is available 24/7 on 13 11 14, offering free and confidential support. Reaching out is not a weakness.
          
          Praying for the Jewish Community and the innocent Muslim community, we judge the extremist ideologies rooted in hatred, not the people.
          
          Sending so much love to everyone trying to exist, heal, and feel safe in this world. We’re all connected more than we realise.
          
          Lots of love, tillymaiee x

Three chapters coming out tomorrow for Strawberries and Cream! 
          
          I’d love to know your thoughts on Daisy! I LOVE her 
          
          

Hello my amazing readers.
          
          Can I say, I am so sorry for leaving you all high and dry. I hope everyone isn’t too angry with me.
          
          The day I posted that I would be updating, later that night I received some really devastating news from a family member. I won’t go into details but it was a very traumatic experience and I had to step away from all social media to recover.
          
          Please know that all my loved ones are okay, I am okay. I’m doing a lot better now and am back to posting chapters. 
          
          The good news that comes from this is that I have finished writing Strawberries and Cream! So chapters will be released in bigger bundles, I am going to be posting a couple on Friday, so get excited for that! 
          
          Once again I am so sorry that I have been gone for so long and it happened so suddenly and I hope everyone is still excited to read more about Aurora and JJ! 
          
          So so much love to all of you, tillymaiee xoxo
