Hello everyone,

I wanted to give you all a quick update since the last chapter. The next three chapters are drafted and sent to a beta reader. I hope to get their feedback today, and then I'll start the final editing, so they should all be released over the next week.



I'm excited to have you all read them now that we are starting to reveal some of the subplots planned for this book, some of which will carry over into Book 3!



Thank you all for reading. Please like and comment on the parts of the book you enjoy, as this will help others find it!

I hope you all enjoy the weekend.

Hello everyone,

Today's release of chapter 9 puts Abby 2 just over halfway through Act I. Fun fact: Chapter 9 concluded Act I in the first book.

I know some of these chapters have been slower in parts. For instance, in chapter 3, Abby could perhaps have done her reflection with Mandy, making it more interesting. I needed to both set up the coming conflict, (which should be obvious now) and also show her growing openness to experience to make things later in the book (and book 3) make more sense.

I may change the pacing some in a rewrite of the first 9, but going forward, there is a lot more dialogue in all the chapters, which should pick up the pace some. There are some characters to introduce, new subplots to kick off (something that wasn't featured in Abby I), short scenes from Abby's childhood diving into the depth of influence of the church and parents on her life, and of course, lots of conflict as she continues her personal journey.

I hope you will stick around for the story. Feel free to leave any comments as you read, or email me directly if you have questions or feedback you don't want to share publicly.

The next chapter should launch in 2 or 3 days.

Thank you for adding my book to your reading list ❤️ Please follow me for updates as I work through this story!

Hi, how are you doing? Thank you for following me, please read my stories and enjoy. Have a blessed day. ❤️

The chapter 5 rewrite has been posted. Overall, this was undoubtedly one of the most challenging chapters I have ever written so far! I turned up the spice a little with this rewrite to show more of how Abby has changed in the months since starting at the FDL club. I hope you enjoy it!

Also, the next (and new) chapter will be coming in the next 24 hours.

Hello, to all. For those of you who have been following the Abby sstories, I apologize that it has been so long since I'be updated the second book. This has been a rather tumultuous year personally starting with my dog passig early in the year followed by some deep family issues and I just haven't been in the right head space to write. In fact, when I looked over the chapters I had published I found them rather poor.

So today I've republished chapter 1-4 and 5 will get republished tomorrow (the old one is still up). There has been no change to the story, just more editing and in some places some extra added.

The next 12 chaters are written but still need to be editied but I am hoping to get them out at a fairly quick pace. That will take the book up to the end of Act I.

I hope you have all been well and have had a great summer if you are in the northeren hemisphere or winter if not.  

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year for 2024. Enjoy the surprise Chapter 2 :-) The rest of the chapters will start following in mid-January! My goal is to get two out each week.

Happy holidays to everyone. The first chapter of Abby 2 II is now out as a not-so-surprising Christmas gift. The rest of the book will start in January.

Thank you all for your support and for reading my writing. See you all in the New Year!

Hey everybody, the writing is going well. The draft of Act I is done, and it came in at about 35k words, so a good chunk of writing. One thing I can say is the pacing of this book will be a little different.  With Book 1, there was the whole intro to get her to the world of the Fleur-de-lis, but this time, things kick off quite quickly!

A few of the initial chapters have been edited and are ready for beta readers, so maybe there will be a surprise holiday present if you have all been naughty boys and girls!

I just noticed that you have added 'Best Frieds and Lovers' to your reading list. Thanks so much for doing so and I really hope that you enjoy it when you have a moment to have a look at it. It does seem from your posts here that you're really busy with your own work.  I must take a look at it!
