Hi readers! 

I thought I would pop in here real quick to introduce myself real quick, tell you a little about me, and tell you about my update schedule! I'm new to Tapas, but have been writing and uploading regularly on other platforms like Wattpad and Inkitt for the better part of seven months now. I'm a SAHD and have an awesome husband who loves me very much, and amazing little humans who keep me on my toes. Because I'm at home with my kids full-time, I don't have the opportunity to really write during the day, so almost all of my drafting and editing is done late at night when said munchkins are snoozing. I sacrifice a lot of sleep to write throughout the week, as well as on the weekends. 

All that said, thank you for taking a chance on this little novella of mine, and I truly hope you will continue to enjoy my hard work! I'm very overwhelmed and beside myself with the amount of interest it has received over a short period of time, but nonetheless grateful for each and every one of you! 

Since I am new to this platform specifically, I thought I would clarify what you can expect from me in terms of update schedule, and the type of communication I will give on my part as the author. 

Updates will be 1-2x per month, published no later than Sunday evening, PST. If I've been able to complete the drafting and editing of a chapter earlier ahead of schedule, or upload more than 2 chapters a month that is a bonus, and I will just post them when they are ready! Basically you may wake up to surprise updates from me earlier than expected, but as a rule just know they will typically be uploaded Sunday evenings 1-2x a month. For example this week I am quite ahead of schedule, and have completed two chapters in less than a week which is fairly fast for me (usually it takes me several days to draft & edit, but I sleep-deprived myself to the point of very bad migraines) and pumped out two chapters earlier than usual, heh. (^.^')/ 

Please keep an eye on my wall here on Tapas also, as I will post updates there to communicate with ya'll. 

As to the next chapter (which will be listed as chapter 14), I am halfway through that draft currently, with hopes of completing and uploading before the weekend. 

If you are looking for something more of mine to read in-between updates of Lay Me Down, feel free to check out my other novel Wicked Roommates! This book is updated 1x per month Sunday evenings PST, and available to read currently on Wattpad and Inkitt, however I will begin uploading it to Tapas this evening in the meantime. <3 It's a spicy, queer, comedic urban fantasy. 

Last, but not least, if you are interested in seeing sneak-peeks of upcoming chapters from either of my books, head to my instagram to see what's going on, and you can find me @quillpearsonwrites. 

Again, thank you for all the recent love and interest in this novella and I hope you will continue to enjoy my work! 

Best, 
Quill
