The Cost of Loving You is doing suspiciously well… and now my brain is like, “oh no, not Under The Texas Stars 2.0.”
          	
          	So here I am at 6am, half-awake, aggressively Googling my own story like a detective on a mission just to make sure nothing shady is going on. So far, we’re in the clear… but the fact that I even have to check like this?? Yeah, I’m a little traumatized not gonna lie .

A small-town cowboy romance about unfinished love, old secrets, and the one person you can’t seem to forget.
          
          If you love cocky cowboys, second chances, and messy small-town drama… this one’s for you.
          
          Half way done story that’s been in my Google Doc!

I just posted a brand new story called The Sin of Loving You 
          
          It’s a forbidden romance about a girl living a secret double life and the one man she was never supposed to fall for… her father’s most trusted right-hand man. Secrets, danger, loyalty, and a slow-burn tension that could ruin everything.
          
          Note: This story is not fully completed yet on my end, but it’s about halfway written, so updates will be coming! It’s another story that has been sitting in my Google Doc that I just wanted to share!
          
          If you love:
          forbidden romance
          age gap tension
          secrets & double lives
          
          then this one is for you.
          
          Go check it out and let me know what you think! ✨

@carnaldebauchery I feel like I should be able to write this book fast since I have everything planned out. Ending, chapters, characters, religions, dynamics, cultures, everything. I just need to write it.

Hi, Vera. I just read your posts from the notifications I received. I am so sorry that you experienced that. As a writer, it is terrifying and frustrating to know that anyone can steal our work once it is published, whether online or in print. Like the moment it's out, you are serving them a platter, but each writer’s works deserve to be out, loved, and not hidden. So, for you to go through that. I feel for you in this situation, and I do wish you well. 
          
          P.S. Don’t stop posting your works, own it. 
          
          Love lots.

@peonymusings thank you! i appreciate it

          My newest historical romance, Ruin & Rapture, is officially live.
          
          He is promised to another.
          She is the one he should never want.
          
          Set in 1817, this story is filled with forbidden tension, slow-burn longing, scandal, and choices that could ruin them both. If you love brother’s best friend, arranged engagement drama, and emotional angst… this one is for you. 
          
          Chapter One is up now.
          Go fall in love (or into ruin) with them.

Under The Texas Stars is still on RosyFox but they changed the title to Chasing Phoebe and changed the cover. Ugh, this makes me so mad

@TiFleming Wattpad told me to do that when they emailed me back, I’m going to. Thank you for reporting and trying. It means a lot

Ugh…they replied to my email with a “done” when I reported your story as stolen.  I responded that they weren’t done because they simply changed the name.  Not sure what cost is involved, but you might want to scope out dmca.com which helps writer’s protect their work.  I hope you are able to start publishing on Amazon.

@veranoire Very good. When you do that, I’ll post a positive review from my wife’s email. I can either write it myself, or you can comment on one of my story parts with what you want me to say. Also make sure to send me your GoodReads account information so we can add our books to each other’s reading lists.

I’m sure Under the Texas Stars is great, but I must ask, how did you get so many views on it? I’m trying to increase views on mine.

@breannabennett301bcb yeah I know. I had so many people reach out to me and tell me they are seeing ads for it and they googled the story and found me here
