It's been so long since I last wrote you guys an end-of-the-book note that I actually have no idea right now what to say. > . <

I guess, just to start with - thank you.

Thank you for picking this book up. I wrote these back in 2017 as an escape of sorts, when I felt too pressured writing under Marian Tee. That said, these stories might not be what you've been expecting from me, but I hope you enjoyed them all the same. Fingers crossed!

Thank you as well to everyone who's been patiently for me to come up with Andreus: Part Two. I remember how I ended up in the very same predicament when I was poised to write a sequel to The Werewolf Prince and I. If you've been with me from the start, you might remember just how long it took for me to come out with A Royal Heartbreak as well.

And I know this is going to sound a clichéd breakup line, but honestly - it's not you, it's me. I just need to work through all my anxieties and neuroses; it's affected me so much that it's even made me leave social media (with the exception of a once-in-a-blue-moon Instagram story), and some of you - maybe most or all even - have even written to me about this.

Right now, my plan is to gradually work on regaining my footing (writing-wise) by working on a couple of standalone projects and some PNRs. I didn't even realize it's been almost half a year since I last released a new book until some of you wrote to me about this. It was quite the wake-up call, honestly, so thank you to all those who took the time to write to me. It helped put things in perspective and come up with a battle plan.

At present, I have several projects I intend to finish:

1. Acheron's Woman (standalone contemporary romance); for those who don't remember, Acheron showed up at the end of Damen & Mairi's story as well as playing a pivotal role in My Dutch Billionaire. So yes, he's that Acheron.

2. Lysander & Estrella's story (werewolf romance duology); these two are from my Moretti Werewolf series, and I plan to release their duology at the same time.

3. Smutty rewrite of my paranormal cozy series, which I hope you guys will enjoy

4. Tarif; the last of my Desert Sheikhs series

I plan to release all of these books in quick succession; it will be like the old days, where I'm releasing at least one new book a month, and that's because I never overthink it and simply write from the heart. Once I'm done with all of them, I'm hoping that I'll finally be at the right place - mentally, emotionally, and psychologically - to finish Hallie and Andreus' trilogy.

After those books are out, I'm hoping that I'll be finally at the right place to continue with Hallie and Andreus' story.

Please wish me luck, apologies for failing you, and thank you so much once again for being the best readers in the world!

Until our next journey,

P.S. I plan to resume writing Aya and Minato's story as well on my website. It's still and will always be free, so if you haven't read them yet. Do check them out!

P.P.S. While I don't think I can be regularly active on social media anytime soon, I do still read everyone's emails and have every intention to reply to each and every one of you. So if you ever need to drop me a line, just email me here. You may also to be the first to know about new and upcoming releases. Hope to see you there!
