About the book:
Derek seeks revenge on ex-friend Maddox Ryan for a deadly fire he thinks killed his fiance, Adira. He sabotages Maddox Ryanās philanthropy firm but discovers his former friendās innocence. As the sabotage continues, everyone outside of their throuple becomes prime suspects. It is a tale of betrayal, revenge, and the complex bonds of friendship with second chances.
Iāll keep you posted when the initial post is up, but you can also follow me on Amazon on my authorās page.
Chapter update: 11/19/2023
What happened in this chapter:
Getting a chance to speak with her son, Adira felt the guilt of her choices and knew she was paying for them tenfold. Fear of Derek ever finding out she was alive troubled her deeply because she knew the hurt would be more from him. This chapter/episode further reaffirms Adira didnāt need or want Derek in her life. As for Maddox, manipulating Derek and Adira without either of them knowing was taking a toll on his nervesĀ
AUTHORāS NOTE:
The timing of this chapter was a little distorted, and I kept changing where everything was until I was like, leave it. My readers are smart enough to figure out the timeline independently. Stop helping. So Iām hoping you did and it wasnāt confusing. Do you? Let me know in the comments. As for this chapter, it was to solidify in Adiraās head there was no way Derek would yearn to be with her, and deep down inside, she had not forgotten what he could do to her. And it wasnāt just sexual, but she didnāt want to let Maddox know Derek was and will always be the better man for both of them. What are your thoughts? Will tonight really work out the way Maddox plans it to? Will Derek suspect itās Adira? Will Adira know itās Derek?Ā

Answers to Frequent Questions
Iām working in LivingWriter.com on the story. Iām trying to move away from Google docs.
I like adding my authorās notes (keep track of what I say and offer more words without worrying about a word count like when I type it fresh in the Kindle Vella platform.
Iām also using storyoriginapp.com to keep up with my word count and offer beta copies behind a paywall for my premium and alpha readers. This is fun and exciting. Maybe Iāll offer it over on my site in a full book later. Weāll see how the turnout comes.
Iām using my blog to track my writerās thoughts. I canāt share the deep ones in the Authorās Notes; only real writers can understand.
So I did use ChatGPT to help me outline after giving it a detailed synopsis (about a page long), but Iām finding myself moving a lot of things around at least having an outline to remember a lot of the things Iād have to come back and add.
Itās my first time using ChatGPT on a live book, and I hope this will help this paper write a lot faster so I can give my readers the chapters.
Moving things around meaning, a lot of the things ChatGPT told me to write in Chapters 3 and 4 I managed to manipulate in Chapter 1, and then in Chapter 4, Iām pulling from Chapters 5 and six, so Iām a little ahead of the game, but Iām still following The Save the Cat method in my telling of the story.
Having the outline makes me write more because I know where Iām going, and I can map out in my head better how to get to scenes faster and not be so wordy.

My editing process.ā
I use Grammarly, which works well in Livingwriter and then Iāll post it in my Kindle Vella, check the grammar some more, read it out loud, and then if Iām satisfied, Iāll post it.
