Hi there, Flowers!
          
          Sorry that I've been absent, life hasn't been all that kind recently.
          
          Just a quick reminder because I've had to deal with four of these in 24 hours:
          
          DO NOT PLUG YOUR BOOK ON MY WALL OR IN MY COMMENTS.
          
          Any plugs to your book will be promptly deleted and your account will be blocked.
          
          This is in my profile, but it seems a reminder is needed.
          
          Plugging your book on another author's wall is inappropriate and exceptionally rude. I have a zero tolerance for this and always have.
          
          I hope life treats all my lovely followers kindly!
          
          Much love,

Hi there, Flowers!
          
          This is just a quick note for anyone reading SECRETS, LIES, AND SUMMER SKIES at this time.
          
          I want to let you know that I will soon be taking the book down and uploading it to Radish.
          
          I'm so happy that you've enjoyed the story so far and it was my great pleasure to write it for you all. I've based this move on the fact that I would like to keep my Wattpad account for 'clean' romances and to collate all smutty work on my Radish account. Radish is a platform geared towards stories of this nature and I think that it'll find a better home there.
          
          I plan on taking the story (except for a small sample per Radish's permission) down from Wattpad in around about a week, so if you're part way through the story please make sure that you finish reading before Thursday 12th September 2024.
          
          Thank you all for being so understanding as I make these changes. All my other stories will be available on Wattpad still, and I will utilise the wait to unlock feature on Radish so that you can still read most of the story for free. Usually in these cases you just need to use coins for the last few chapters, and there are a lot of ways to earn them for free on the platform, so it'll remain accessible.
          
          Lots of love to you all!

Hi, Flowers! 
          
          Just checking in to let you know I'm still around. 
          
          Before I get into some health updates, just a reminder that my wall is NOT for advertising your work. If you post an advert for your work on my wall, I'll deleted it and block your account. It's a one strike system, sorry.
          
          Onto the health things, I do have some answers for two of my conditions. Unfortunately I have the same condition that almost killed my dad last year. My liver is making too much cholesterol so I've been put on medication for that. I caught it much earlier than he did so hopefully it hasn't caused too much damage, because this tends to wipe out my family members in their 60s and I'm pushing 40.
          
          The other problem was dangerously low iron levels which has been slowing down my heart rate and has left me without any energy. I was also losing my hair and there were a lot of other associated issues. I'm on medication for this, too.
          
          There's still one round of results to come back and I need to enquire about another health concern, but the two most dangerous conditions are being managed and I hope it makes a difference.
          
          I also hope that you're all well and staying warm and safe this winter.
          
          Lots of love!

Hello, Flowers!
          
          First off, let me wish you all a Merry Christmas (if you celebrate it), a happy winter, and send you all warm thoughts and a lot of love.
          
          I hope that you have a wonderful end to your year and that 2024 brings you joy and good fortune.
          
          On a personal note, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been quiet lately. Truth be told, 2023 has been a very long year. All in between us, my partner and I have lost 5 friends and coworkers, I almost lost my dad, had covid, and my depression has been the worst it has ever been. I’ve been hanging on by a very thin thread and I’m totally burnt out. I’m also waiting on blood tests and an ECG for potential heart problems and other health issues. It’s honestly an effort to get out of bed every day, never mind write. I’m still trying hard, but it might be a little while before you see new chapters from me. 
          
          I want to thank you for your past and continued support, and for all the patience I’m sure you’ll have as I work through this. I hope to come back to you all with new stories, new chapters for ‘and then you die’, and some announcements for other work.
          
          Once again, thank you all, I certainly wouldn’t be here without you.
          
          Sending you so much love this holiday season and every day.
