Hello, Casters! 👋

I'm back, and chapters will be starting up again tomorrow!

My break was okay, but my dog died last week, so it was a little rougher than I was hoping for. Luckily, I still got a lot of writing done and have enough backlog to give myself time to breathe, grieve, and recenter myself.

I also wanted to reiterate the new schedule that will be occurring soon.

The next two weeks should be as before, with a new Wayward chapter Mon-Fri. Starting Feb. 17th, I'll be switching to three chapters per week on Mon/Wed/Fri at the same time.

On Feb. 18th, the first chapter of Jaded: Servant (Book 1) will be released, and its release schedule will be on Tue/Thu/Sat at the same time. The Jaded series will be getting a cameo appearance from Phoenix but centers on her best friend, Jin! Please be sure to read the Forward, which includes a brief explanation of what to expect regarding that parallel series, including the notes on romance and content warnings. (Fair warning: Jin swears a lot more than Phoenix 😅)

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Another fun thing to announce is that Wayward: Running (Book 1) has finished going through its professional edits and will be getting sent off to the printers soon! This also means recording for the audiobook will begin shortly, and I am super hyped for it! May 13th can't come fast enough!

Thanks once again to all of you for your amazing support and for sticking with me so far! You all are some of my greatest motivation! I look forward to the next year of writing and sharing both Phoenix and Jin's stories!

- T. A. Star
