Hello Bellaholics,

This is just a little check-in to chat with all of you and an update. Hey, have you ever wondered where the name "Bellaholics" came from? I'll tell you.

My fans started calling themselves "Bellaholics" around 2015. I took notice and asked them if that's how they wanted to be known and the vote was unanimous. I was extremely honored by that, and so the term of endearment stands today because I love my readers so much.

That was just a tidbit. :D

And here are some updates: As for what I've been up to. I will be adding my version of the Cinderella story to my Dark Fairytales series for VIPs featuring some characters from the New Haven series. That should be up hopefully this weekend. I just need to finish editing it.

The final fairytale to be added will be Jack and the Beanstalk for a total of five dark tales.

Next, I'll be focusing on finishing the Ronin series. But I will also start my Mpreg series by Jan. So that will be two VIP series going conservatively on a monthly basis.

The Punished audiobook is underway with Matt Williams. I do want him to complete the Fated Vigilante series as well next year.

If you are an active VIP member this month, you should be receiving your Holiday card. If you're a Legacy VIP member, you will also get your Legacy Pins. If you've been a member for your first full year consecutively, you will also receive your 1st year gift along with your card.

The Legacy Pin

VIP handwritten letters for Bosses and Royals are also included with the cards.

I've been busy this month. LOL

Before I let you go, here is a little secret about a RtC couple.

When I first started the Road to Carnage series, I knew I would be writing it like a TV series where the story progressed as the couples developed. That meant each book would have a new character POV added as the previous couples found their HEA or HFN. 

It's a complicated weave I have going on with that series because each couple that I want to focus on has to progress the plot of the story as well. Intricately and seamlessly woven into the fabric of a tale that is full of battles, intrigue, enemies, and lovers. 

It's a challenge, but a really fun one and there isn't anything else like the Road to Carnage series out there. 

As for the couple in question:

Monty and Ren were originally supposed to be Monty and Bear. That's the secret and a peek at how the story can change while you're writing.

I go into more detail about why this was changed for my VIPs under the Enforcer tier. Just $5 a month. (Less than a cup of coffee these days)
