          These are 10 brutal entries I am fully/almost 100 % caught up with right now, and I’m quite enjoying them. Highly recommend!

Hola chicos!!! ☺️❣️
          
          I woke up with some great news!
          
          Me first ever excursion into Mafia Romance genre shall come ALIVE soon, and I’m super excited for it!
          
          https://media1.tenor.com/m/Js9D386Ty8cAAAAC/its-alive-gene-wilder.gif
          
          My serialised Wattpad Original novel, “Dublin Desires” has officially been drafted today! And we have a release date. I repeat, we have a release date, folks! It’s going to launch on March 7th.
          
          I have to say I very much enjoyed writing it, and trying my hand in Dangerous Love trope. 
          
          What I found especially interesting was crafting and ramping up a palpable chemistry between Alexandra and Liam. Ooh, ooh, and also, I loved playing on my Irish home turf! *all dem Dublin references* ❣️
          
          If this is the genre that you are keen on, you can add it to your library so you get notified when “Dublin Desires” are available fer you to read. 
          In this way, you’ll make sure to never miss any Alex-Liam weekly updates!
          
          For now, what you can see is a Season List chappy, an official cover and a blurb:

Hola chicos ☺️❣️!!!
          
          It’s Sundayyy! I hope you’ve just had a rocking, splendid weekend and that you’re ready to face Monday head on!

          25th February, huh?
          
          Today is a very special day for me: tis my mom’s birthday, or, it would have been were she still here with me ☹️
          It’s also the day when I tend to publish my first chappy of the ONC novella!
          It has become a tradition of a sorts that I’ve been doing, and I’d like to keep it this way for the future contests, too. 
          
          Every year since 2019 I’ve thrown my hat into the ring of the amazing Open Novella Contest: this is, hands down, and by far the best writing festival on Wattpad platform. 
          When prompts are announced on February the 1st, it’s incredibly fun to read, re-read and explore them as you pick the one (or more!) that speaks to you. I love the February 1st fever!
          
          During the past five ONC instalments I have written a so many different genres: there was a middle grade litfic story, a contemporary romance, a time travel sci-fi, then a middle grade mythology booklet a la Percy Jackson. Last year I even tried my hand at sci-fi steampunk! 
          
          This time round I’ll be participating with a YA romance/litfic combo that definitely has some 2002 “Crossroads” movie vibes. 
          
          This road-trippy entry is called “Love, Dad” and it’s set in the US in the 80s. I hope I can do it justice! 
          
          I’m really excited about writing it, since it’s my first time excursion to romance, historical fiction and literary fiction tri-genre blend. 
          
          Ye are sure to like it, if you are a fan of the aforementioned movie with Britney Spears, and also, the movie “Leap Year” from 2010 with Amy Adams and Matthew Goode. 
          
          Enjoy it if you do get the chance to check it out! 
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/363752924-love-dad-onc-2024
          
          I will begin binge-reading other novellas as of next week! ❣️ ❣️ ❣️

Hola chicos! ☺️❣️ 
          
          Great news! 
          
          “Dana Ilic and the Caged Goddess” is as of now officially completed online ‼️
          
          *does a little happy dance*
          
          Book 2 in the Lightwielder Saga: done ✅ and dusted!
          
          The last chappy, chapter 3️⃣8️⃣ titled “The Pawn Becomes the Queen” and the corresponding Glossary are up! 
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/320043218-dana-ilic-and-the-caged-goddess-lightwielder
          
          In this chapter, there is a humongous reveal, and, of course, a powerful shocking hint-ending. This ending will correctly lead ye to believe that at one point I might continue the saga with the third instalment. *hides*
          
          I gotta say that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed crafting this sequel to Dana’s adventure, and that I discovered I adore using first person POV, as well as middle grade/YA voice.
          
          I can only hope that you’ll love reading it as much as I did writing it❣️☕️
          
          Everyone have a wonderful remainder of the weekend, and a great working week ahead!
