Hey Beta Fam,

I truly hope Moon Bound Desires has kept you hooked so far and that you’ve each found something to like (or love!) within it. I honestly cannot thank my beta team enough. 🥹

To make things easier on both sides: if you’ve completed your feedback for the chapters you’re on and are ready for the next set, please hit reply to this email (or shoot me a text) with the chapters you need. My inbox has been wild lately, and it’s tough to keep track of everyone, so a quick ping from you will help me a ton.

Your feedback has made me laugh, cry, and (most importantly) watch this story grow into something stronger. I’m still plotting out some of the recommended chapters, so updates on that will come soon. I also took a little step back from the manuscript, partly to come back with fresh eyes, and partly because… life. 😅 Like many of you probably know, I work full-time, and with folks on vacation I’ve been filling in the gaps. It’s been a lot, so I’m taking things slow. I will, however, try my very best to jump back into the docs to start sorting through suggested changes/comments.

On a personal note…I’ve been dealing with some seasonal blues lately, so to distract myself I’ve been diving into one of my favorite things: Halloween! 🎃 I’ve been planning some spooky fun for you all and my wider reader fam, including a new Halloween short story. Plus, the BF’s sister invited me to Fright Fest (hells yea!!) so I’ve got a wicked costume brewing, inspired by said upcoming short story. Hint: vampiressss incoming 🦇👀.

Thanks for sticking with me, for your patience, and for your amazing energy. You’re making this journey way more special than I ever imagined. 🖤

With gratitude (and just a dash of chaos),

Antonella
