Adry MoonDear readers, I just wanted to clarify my upload schedule, as some of you have been asking. My contract requires me to upload 50,000 words per month, but I uploaded 70,000 words last month because I value your engagement and want to keep you invested in the story. This month, I'm already halfway to meeting my contract requirements. I upload chapters as soon as I finish them, so you may see 1, 2 or 3 posts in a day, but not all at the same time. Please know that I appreciate your support and interest in my work. Your enthusiasm is what keeps me going, and I am grateful for each and every one of you.
