Hey all!
Sorry for the lack of an update last week. I've been preparing for a craft show and have my retail job. I've been trying but its hard to find time to even sleep or clean let alone write. I'm going yo try but it might have to take a brief hiatus until at least the holiday is over.

My patreon is live! https://www.patreon.com/KJBatson
Right now there is just one tier. What I have is the original prologue of the original novel, written in 2007. But as of next tuesday, there is a bonus, what if sene that goes along with the chapter. Its spicy. As a patreon, you will also have a character named after you. I have a TON of new extra's in the coming chapters, so there are plenty of names I'll need.
You can also request Conan flashback's only for patrons. Also! You can ask questions about the characters and as long as it doesn't go into spoilers, they will answer. Many more rewards coming too. Such as many more bonus scenes, and first looks at future projects!
Thank you for all the support. Wheather just here, over at patreon, or both. You are all great and keep me going!

This is probably a good time as any to bring up that i am starting a patreon. But I won't give a link until I actually have content on there. Its basically to help pay fo the massive amount of coffee I drink and sandwiches I eat while writing at the cafe. Seriously, I work there up to 6-8 hours every visit. So I have multiple drinks and meals to make up for stealing their wifi and table space. But they know me. They know this work by now. Hey SC folks! I'll be in next week hopefully!
The patreon is gonna be supppperrrrrr cheap. Like $2 a month. Its for coffee and sandwiches afterall. It takes me so much longer to write at home. Like it can take two days to write one chapter while at the cafe I can punch out three chapters on average.
So what will my Patreon have?
Well, I'm new to the whole thing, so I'm not 100% but these are the ideas I have.
-Interviews with the characters. Ask your questions. As long as its not spoiler material, (up to the point where the story is anyway) you can ask ANY character any question. Even those naughty ones.
-Extended sexy scenes/extra sex scenes: This feels crazy far away, doesn't it? But they are coming. And they are gonna be spicy. And honestly I can't find a straight answer for how graphic sex scenes can be in novels. I've been told so many answers that conflict with what others told me. To be safe, I am gonna make it a Patreon reward. And there will be plenty when they begin.
-This one is gonna make me cringe. But you will be able to read the original novel. If you didn't know, this is a rewrite of the first novel i ever wrote at 19. Its awful. God fricken awful and stupid short. But you will get to read it despite how embarassed by it I am.
-Name character after you. I have a ton of new characters coming up.
-Requests for Conan flashbacks
-Scenes written from another characters perspectives.
Any other things you'd like to see? Let me know!

Hey any followers who will see this.
So I got good news and bad news. Let me start with the bad news.
I won't be uploading two chapters a week anymore for a few weeks. Why? Well that's the good news. Our second lockdown is ending. Which means I can return to my job again. I am so thrilled to be going to work again. This also means I can go writing at the cafe and not at home with my screaming toddler. (Mommy Loves you, Sunshine)
The chapters will be longer to make up for this lack of two chapters a week, and there will be a second chapter this Friday. So by next Tuesday we will be done the "Tale of a Baker" series of chapters. Which i hope you have all een enjoying. I've been dying to write more Conan flashbacks. He's fun to write from his point of view. I especially like writing the arguments he has with the wolf.

I'm going to have to track back to Tuesday updates only for a while. Our city has gone I to a near full lockdown again and as an essential retail worker who was just promoted up to management, I have a lot more responsibilities.
My Etsy shop needs to get up and running too, and I also have to take on being the sole runner of errands since my husband has been out off work again and needs to stay with our son.
So updates will still come, but just once a week until we can get things back up and running here.
Thank you to you all lovely readers,.you have been such an incredible support!

Wow! Welcome new subscribers! It's an honour. I hope my novel will live up to expectations.
I've been chosen to be features for Womens History Month. I feel incredibly honoured and want to thank all the readers who have follower me along the way. You kept me going. I hope to see you all again this Tuesday with chapter 26
After a few rough weeks of trying to feel creative again, a very sick editor, we are back on track again. Last night I finished writing chapter 25 and 26. Both have been sent to my editor. I hope everyone's enjoying the story and will enjoy the future chapters.
The Sea and the Wolf returns this coming Tuesday! Its been an insane two and a half months! But we will return to weekly updates! I'm excited to be back at it and hear from you all again.
Hello readers! I hope you are all doing well. I want to hear from you. How are you liking my novel so far? I'm looking to do a huge writing burst during November for National Novel Writing month and I could possibly get up to two chapters a week now.
What would you like to see more of? Less of? Did you like Conan's flashbacks? More of less of that? I have a lot planned but you folks are my readers. Just because it's a slow burn romance doesn't mean I can't add more to make it more enjoyable for you folks.
Cheers
