Hey everyone,

I'm back. I appreciate everyone's kind reviews and words of encouragement, understanding that family and real-life sometimes take precedent, and patience with my sporadic updates. That being said, in my spare time I've taken the time to re-read each of my stories, edit nearly all of them, and even revamp a few parts. Not to mention I've written tons of notes for future ideas or chapters.

Unfortunately, I am not quite ready with new chapters...however, I have edited and reposted my one-shots 'Try Again' and 'I Want to See You', I have also edited and uploaded all of 'From Shackles to Fire Lilies'. Currently, my beta has my updated version of 'Shifting Allegiance' and once she finishes reviewing the chapters I will be posting them. In the meantime, I am editing 'The Deal'...as this is the longest story of all it will probably take a couple of weeks to accomplish this task. After which I will resume writing new chapters.

I apologize for those who were hoping for new updates on 'Something More'. As I was re-reading this story I felt completely embarrassed by the sheer number of grammar mistakes, let alone the writing. That being said, 'Something More' will remain on Hiatus for the foreseeable future as I plan on editing and rewriting the entire thing (plus I need to figure out where I am going with the storyline). I will work on it from time to time...but currently, I will concentrate on 'Shifting Allegiance', From Shackles to Fire Lilies', and 'The Deal.'

As always, I look forward to everyone's reviews...and I swear only a little longer until I start posting new chapters. My life is finally settling back into a more normal routine and I'm hoping to be better with updates in the future.

Thank you,
