I don’t know, I guess it upsets me when I explain to people why I can’t write a book as quickly as they’d like me to and they still choose to shame and bully me for it anyway.

What’s wrong with releasing my book cover???
Jay Marie
I really wish I had a more clear answer for this, but unfortunately I really don't. For the last 6 months I've been studying for the bar exam to become an attorney so that has really put my series on the back burner. I am trying to get back into it as we speak. I would like to think the final book will be out by the end of 2022, but as usual I can't guarantee anything. I will do my best though.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the series. My inspiration came from reading true human trafficking stories and I wanted to spread awareness since so many people didn't know about human trafficking. Thank you for the love and support!

I find questions presented like this to be incredibly rude and disrespectful of my life and time. Writing is a hobby, something I do on the side. I was a part time law student and a full time paralegal for nearly 5 years, and I just recently took the bar exam to become an attorney. At this time, my writing has not been my first priority and I have been very clear on that in my reading group. Goodreads is also the last place to receive an update from me. If my readers are interested in finding out what’s going on with the series as much as they say they are then they would seek out the more direct forums and vendors where my updates are much more abundant. If you don’t want to seek me out on Facebook that’s fine, but please don’t complain when I don’t update the dozens of platforms my books are featured on. With that being said, I write when I write, and not when anyone else wants me to. Writing and inspiration do not work that way, so no matter how many times I receive an angry message from someone accusing me of dragging my readers along or disrespecting my readers because I can’t put together a book in the blink of an eye like they expect me to, it really shows me what kind of person they are. It shows they have no respect for me as an author, let alone as a human being. You don’t know anything about how I treat my readers because you choose to stay on Goodreads instead of joining the rest of my readers in my Facebook group where I engage with them far more often than you think. Please don’t complain to me about being attacked when you literally called me wretched for not giving you what you wanted. Please reconsider the way you approach authors because if you think it’s okay to treat authors like this, then please don’t expect any of us to be open or beholden to you.

Hello. There will not be any spin offs from the Stronger series. I have so many other books I’m eager to write.
