Hello, readers!

It's been a long time since I posted on , and I hope you're all doing well. My life has been changing dramatically in the last few years: I've graduated college, got a full-time job, and I've written a novel.

After many years of editing I feel that it's now is the time that I start sharing it with all of you: the fans that have read, re-read, and stuck with me since I first started writing stories (especially the monster that is Your Last Breath.) I am so thankful and appreciative of every single one of you. Every favorite, follow, and comment was proof that I could make it in the world as an author.

I've now entered my novel to an online contest in the hopes of getting published. I know that this story is more than capable of being as popular as Your Last Breath and I truly think that if you enjoyed this story, you will enjoy my novel The Art of Falling.

It is a modern day romance with a fantasy twist that brings you up close and personal with the hearts of angels and demons, showing that even celestial creatures from ethereal realms have some humanity in them.

You can read it in full for FREE over at a Inkitt's Story Peak Contest: /storypeak

And yes, yaoi lovers, this story does feature a MxM couple; however, I did tone down the sexual scenes for a wider audience.

To help me get closer to publication, what you can do is "reserve" your online copy of my novel. There is a limited amount, so it's first come first serve! Once all of the copies are reserved, my novel will be entered into the final state of the contest, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication.

To have my novel published would be a major life accomplishment and a dream come true. To have each of you help out one more time would mean the world to me.

Here is a summary for all of those who may be interested:

"Regal is a young Incubus who has recently earned the title of Prince of Lust from Jackal, the King of Hell. Although he is different from all of the other Incubi, he has earned the title for his many successes of capturing lustful souls. That and he has the perk of being Jackal's son.

Keir is one of Gloria's archangels in training, who specializes in the Virtue of Kindness under the guidance of Michaelangelo. Despite being very powerful for his young age, he still has a lot to learn about earth and its inhabitants before he can move up in the ranks of the Angelic Hierarchy.

hese two powerful forces collide when a battle over a human's life goes awry. Keir finds himself head over heels in love with the demon, and Regal is given the rare opportunity to seize the angel as a personal servant. Regal jumps at the chance to become the first demon in history to covet an angel, but Keir is much smarter than he anticipates, and the two end up tethering their souls together in an unbreakable bond.

Keir is more than happy to have the bond between them, but Regal wants out of the deal. The only way to do that is to make the angel fall from grace and become a demon. But can Regal succeed in his plans before Keir makes him ascend into heaven and become one of Gloria's children?"

Thank you, again, for being supportive of Your Last Breath, my other short stories, and of my first ever original work.

For those who reserve a copy of my novel and leave a comment on this chapter letting me know that you did, I will draw a FREE sketch. Please check out my DeviantArt page for references of my work: .com

Much love,

VL

UPDATE:

Thank you so much for all of your support! In only 10 days, we wer able to get 100 copies of my novel reserved, and it is now officially entered into the second part of the contest. This next step includes judging, where all of the eligible novels will be considered for publication. There's quite a few great books in the contest, so I'll keep everyone updated on how we do!

Thank you, again!
