What's Going On

I just wanted to pop in with another update.

Intimacy is still happening. I will be revealing that cover soon and a few excerpts via ig: _edenfortae since there is an issue going on with my email campaigns not reaching all the newsletter subscribers. I won't say when it will be released to avoid creating pressure for myself and rush to put out low quality work. Intimacy is an emotional book so I've had to take breaks often to gather myself.

In the meantime, I am trying to come up with short reads that are free and hopefully fun to read.

I revealed through ig that I am planning to release another book called Daddy's Debt, soon. As above, there will be a cover reveal and excerpts.

Basically all news and such will hit Insta and my website first).

I’m going to try to minimize my silence (I hope lol).

Until then, happy reading.

M.I.A

I disappeared…yet again.
In my defense, I’ve never been that far from reach. When writier’s block gets the best of me, I browse social media. I’ve developed this inability or lack of desire to share what I can’t provide right away…

But here goes:

Newsletters: The company I used changed the way they do things, so I have been working on signing up for a new one, which would mean starting over for so many of you. That’s something I didn’t want to do, but have had to consider. At this time, we’re still connected to the old one, but soon, there will be a new list. When we’re up and running, it will be announced via all social media accounts and goodreads.

Intimacy: I think I posted somewhere else that this book is emotional. At times, I find myself having to take a break because it’s emotionally taxing. Also, I’ve been stressing over details to ensure all bases are covered because there will not be another after that. But we’re getting there. When this book is released via Amazon, Intensity and Infamy will be released on the other platforms and hopefully paperback.

I will reveal the cover soon.

Sweet: Sigh…I wanted the free chapters and updates rolling in by now. Life dealt me a blow with the house I was buying so until I am moved in and settled, I cannot do the Live chapter reviews and Q&As like I wanted. So the actual release of this will be announced at a later date. I’m wondering if I should post it on this site or not. That’s nothing announcement for a later date.

Daddy’s Debt: As if I weren’t already doing too much, I am trying to prepare Daddy’s Debt for publishing… Sadly, that’ll probably be released before Intimacy.

Hopefully the next time I’m posting, it’ll be great news. Until then, happy reading and thank you for your support.

Trashed & Treasured Q&As

Q: I love Trashed & Treasured! Will you ever update it on Wattpad?
A: No.

Q: Why did you remove Trashed & Treasured from Wattpad?
A: Long story short, I outgrew the site. I left it up for years and the messages about the second book became too overwhelming. I realized in leaving it there, I was giving people false hope.

Q: I was reading Trashed & Treasured on your site and then it was gone. What happened?
A: I moved it to Radish Ficiton.

Q: Why did you remove Trashed & Treasured from your website?
A: When I announced that I would be reuploading it, I asked people to understand that I would be doing so slowly as to “polish” it and still work on the books at the top of my list. Every free moment I had, I reread it, changed some things, and posted what I could get to. For some, that wasn’t enough and I would received four and five messages about posting more and once again, I became overwhelmed. I thought about it long and hard and decided what was best for me was to put the book up without a quick edit and just wash my hands of it.

Q: Is it free on Radish?
A: Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, chapters are released for free. Those that want to read the entire book without waiting, can unlock it with coins.

Q: Why isn’t it completely free right now?
A: A few people thought I should drop everything and give them the book now. So, to get it “now” it’ll cost.

Q: Are you posting Rare Treasure?"
A: I have no intention of posting it at this time. As stataed, I waant to focus on the books that are priority to me. But maybe one day in the future.

I’m sure I’ve forgotten some as they were asked via three different platforms. Feel free to ask and I will trying to answer asap.

So Sweet!

Um…Happy New Year!

Late, I know. But, guess what?! A free book will be coming to edenfortae.com!

For a while now, I’ve wanted to get back to posting weekly chapters. With my newfound freedom from platforms with restrictions and rules, I just couldn’t turn back to Wattpad or Radish. That left me with one option… to host the book here. At the moment, there is no release date, but I am thinking before March 1st. (My birthday). Further information will be released via social media. The blurb can be found here.

Since I am not one to post long blogs or really blog at all, these posts may soon become vlogs to keep things fresh, up to date, and interesting.

Until then, happy reading!

.ASTRAY

As the release of Intensity & Infamy draws near, there are mixed emotions. For years, I put the majority of my focus into Kya and Antonio and seeing an end to their story feels similar to the ending of a show that made you ditched all of your friends, cancel outings, and dedicated nights to.

Bittersweet feels like an understatement, but it is. These characters taught me to follow my heart on the subject of diversity and to not be afraid of straying away from the typical. Then again, behind Kya and Antonio are other characters that were damned near screaming at me for attention. Now that they have it, it's like they're quietly waiting for me to choose who's next...like toddlers that scream, "Mommy" only to say, "hi" when you finally answer them.

If I'm honest, four of the 16 books waiting in the wings are speaking to me the most. All of them, so different, but a challenge that I cannot wait to get to. One, in which, I am considering as a free read, posted weekly. The question is, where to post it?

When I asked my vocal readers, they suggested the obvious. But there are cons that are hard to ignore.

With Radish Fiction, I had to learn the hard way that bare legs are too sexy and "Daddy" is an inappropriate word. Before I can post a book there, I have to either reach out to support to clear the cover with them or refer to the new censorship guidelines.

Being on Wattpad for six years, that naturally seems like the best option, so I get all the people wanting me to choose that. It's convenient, allows reads to catalog all of their books in one place, vote and comment if they choose, and all they have to do is open the app to read. I've taken all of that into consideration, then I remember all the stuff behind the scenes and why I left in the first place. To put it simply, I lost myself as a member of wattpad. The politics, shadiness, and theft, just didn't seem like a fair deal to me in exchange for pennies.

Keeping all of this in mind will probably explain why I do not answer a lot of questions about my return.

I guess I can thank Kya and Antonio for that, too. Had it not been for them wanting me to tell their story, I wouldn't have returned from the land of the lost and realize that although I prefer to color on the lines instead of in them, I can still create a pretty picture.
