Hello, everybody! 
          
          I am super excited to announce that one of my short stories about Slavic mythology is going to be published in the Selkie, an online literary magazine! 
          
          The anthology that's going to appear in is called Stories of Rebellion and it's going to be released on the 24th of February at 18:00 GMT via a virtual launch :D 
          
          You are more than welcome to join the launch and celebrate it with me and the rest of the authors who got this opportunity. If you want to join, visit the website ( https://theselkie.co.uk/stories-of-rebellion-online-launch/ ) and fill out the RSVP form.
          
          I cannot explain how excited I am to have received this opportunity and to so publicly celebrate my culture. And I'm ever grateful to The Selkie for seeing potential in me and my writing. 
          
          I'd be very happy to see any of you at the launch, but if I don't, I kindly invite you to check out the short story that I wrote called "The Roots of Her Souls". 
          
          Thank you to everyone who supported my writing. It is your support that lead me to this point and actually make this submission. <3

Hiya! 
          
          I am apparently back in full swing right when I should be the busiest with uni stuff, but hey, I'm enjoying it, I missed being this productive and creative! 
          
          Posting the extra chapter for Nathan, working on another one, and also showing Torn Roses some love, I'm truly fully back, and it feels so liberating. 
          
          I've decided to continue with Torn Roses, a novel that will be in many ways shorter than Nathan's. For months and years, I'd look at the cover, at the description, at everything and was just very unhappy about it, so I gave it a little bit of a makeover, and now I'm finally happy with it (for now, who knows what will happen).

          I would be extremely grateful if you gave Torn Roses a chance and some love. It's a bit gentler than Nathan, but I think Michael deserves to show you what he's got. 
          
          You're also free to join the Community Server I've set up where you can become an alpha reader of brand new Nathan draft.

          It feels so good to be back! <3
          
          Thanks x

Hello, everybody! 
          
          I stayed true to my word this time around, if you haven't noticed x) I indeed posted a chapter (a really long chapter because it's a one-shot) and am already working on the next one. I think I'll post maybe one or two more to get my itchy fingers to write again and feel comfortable while doing so. 
          
          The next thing that I started this time around is a discord server. I don't imagine myself as a celebrity on here, far from it, I just created this server to maybe bring the community together a little bit (since Wattpad got rid of the activity slots and forums). So, if you're a writer and you want to vibe with others and ask for advice, or you're someone that loves books and just want to chat with other people about them, you're most welcome to join. 
          
          The real deal, however, is that I am looking for alpha readers. I need to rewrite Nathan because the first couple of chapters are atrocious compared to how I write now, and I'd like to publish Nathan one day. In order to do that, I need to rewrite the book, and if you'd like to be alpha reader, please join the server. It would mean the absolute world to me!

          Like I said, I'm already working on other things and chapters, and hopefully you'll stay around to see more of Nathan. 
          
          Thanks x

Oh, hi! It's been a hot minute, hasn't it? 
          
          To be honest, I'm kind of embarrassed how I just disappeared with empty promises, but I have to be honest, it's been a tough few years for me, and I hit a major writer's block. I didn't want to write because I felt the need to constantly update, I wanted to write out of joy, so... I disappeared! ...oopsie... 
          
          Everyone who loved Nathan, Annabelle and Devon, I've got... well, something in the works :) I've still got a few things to set up first, but there will be more of the wonderful ginger, the adorable baby, and the insufferable Nathan coming your way! If you showed it some love, even after all this time, I'd be very grateful and even honoured to have remained somehow relevant to you :D
          
          I've also decided to try and connect the community of readers and writers a bit more that is not like Wattpad's channels so overly saturated. So, I'm also preparing that :) 
          
          Stay tuned for all the updates and new content I've got planned! 
          
          Thanks x

Can you do a story on Devon all grown up 

Hey, everyone! 
          
          After months and months and months of planning, and after months and months and months of compiling story ideas, I finally finished a chapter and I'm finally moving onto the next book. 
          
          I decided to give Torn Roses some love, otherwise, it'd start haunting me at some point. It's very different from what Nathan's story was, and while it's so strange and unwelcoming, it's also very exciting and challenging (in a good way). 
          
          I think I finally found the strength to start posting chapters on a regular basis, and now the sky's a limit :D 
          
          Thanks x

Hey, guys! 
          
          I'm back with a quick update on everything! 
          
          I've been feeling quite well. I've been doing a lot of rereading of Nathan and taking notes on what should be changed, what should be kept, and how to organise everything else. It's definitely a huge project. 
          
          Besides that, I've also been focusing on other stories I have in store. If any of you ever checked out my profile in these recent months, you may have noticed the additions to the 'My works' section. I've been exploring the idea of The Nightingales, and have a couple of drafts that I believe I'll publish sometime soon. 
          
          And one more thing. I don't consider myself a grand poet, but when I write something that I like and that rhymes, I'm proud of it. I've made two submissions to my university's newspaper, and apparently, my poems seem worthy of publishing! 
          
          But yes, this was just a quick update. I have sooo many comments on Nathan to check out and answer - I want you to know that I do keep track and I don't take any reader for granted. 
          
          Thanks x

hi haven't heard from you for a while feel free to message me here or on discord reytumbleweed#1788

Stuck with a Punk has... come to an end. It's finished, completed, Nathan's story has come to an end.
          
          The feeling is bittersweet. How am I to live without this headstrond, stubborn, stupid man? A more valid question, however is: how could I ever live without telling his story to the fullest, and I believe I've done that. At least for now. 
          
          There's tons of rewriting and editing waiting for me. Maybe in the future even publishing rights, if I'm lucky. But for now, I'm just going to thank ALL of you for showing me and Nathan your support, for being so patient, and eager for more of his adventures and opinions. 
          
          For now, I'm going to leave you with a link to a Spotify playlist I've created that sums up Nathan's vibe (the key song here is: More Than You Know fyi): 
          https://open.spotify.com/playlist/53v8kAhW70sp3ohLpi9WCH?si=dgY1NP3WT6GF2WcwOywvEA
          
          ...and once again - thank you!

Hello, everyone. 
          
          I haven't been active for a while, and I haven't written the ending to Stuck with a Punk because I've been going through A LOT. 
          
          Yesterday, my family and I buried our 13-year-old puppy who's been my constant furry companion since I was 10. 
          
          It's been a struggle. She was very sick, she had chronic kidney failure and was slowly withering away. Every day she grew weaker, and it was time we let her rest. 
          
          We've been trying to treat her with infusions and various medications for 2 months. Sadly, this last month showed us that even if we give her our best, it still won't be enough. 
          
          Therefore yesterday, the vet came to our place, and Lady fell asleep in my arms. 
          
          I hope you understand why Wattpad and the crackhead adventures of Nathan were not my priority.
