Hi Tabitha I just finished the tied man on kindle, and I want to own a hard copy just to look at every night. Will it ever get released on paper back? thanks for an amazing story
Tabitha McGowan That's my next project - it shouldn't take as long!

Tabitha McGowan Now! :D So sorry for the delay xxx

I recently read The Tied Man and found that you have promised Unbound as well. Unfortunately I only found 1 chapter on your fb page and I was wondering if you had it published somewhere else so your other fans who didn't know your work in 2014 can also read sequel to TTM in 2019:)?
Tabitha McGowan The sequel is now available! xx
flag

Just wanted to say that I hope you're all right. Please take care of yourself- your health and mental health matters more than a book! (also it says my question needs to contain a question mark so here is one) ?
Tabitha McGowan I'm sorry I never noticed this! Thank you so much for your kindness - it's taken a while, but book 2 is there. Mainly thanks to the faith, support and patience of people like you x

Any further thought on releasing "The Tied Man #2"? The first was such a different story, I often think about it.
Tabitha McGowan It's finally done! Up on Amazon as of now <3

Hi Tabitha, I read sometime ago that The Unbound was a little bit delayed because of health issue. I hope you are fine now. I just want to wish you well, but because I need to put question mark on this post, so here its is: I hope to everything is okay with you?

What happened to your writing, Tabitha? I just read your first novel and I think you are an amazing story teller. Did you get too busy or lose interest?
Tabitha McGowan Life went a bit haywire; I was widowed, left jobs, got remarried... But Unbound is now available <3

Hi Tabitha, Hope you are enjoying your writing journey. Are you working on anything else? I would love to read another of your amazing stories.

Ok, didn't want to put any pressure on you, but since this is a recent post, are you still planning a sequel? The Tied Man was such a unique story, I'd love for it to continue. Take care of yourself.
Tabitha McGowan Yes, absolutely - I'll be posting a teaser on my Facebook page on Friday, actually :)

I loved The Tied Man and I've been waiting awhile for it as well. I know you're getting lots of pressure to finish it quickly, but please don't sacrifice quality for speed. Just leaving this here to say, firstly, thank you for your hard work, and I can('t) wait for Unbound to come out :) P.S. Tried to send this as is, but then got a response that said "Sorry, your question needs to contain a question mark." Haha?
Tabitha McGowan I've just seen this message, and it's such a lovely thing to read! Thank you so much. It's been a really challenging year, but I've made the big decision to leave my day job and focus more on my writing (I'll still teach and stuff part time, but this means I can really get things finished as I'll be writing full-time across the summer.

It's the support and understanding from lovely people like yourself that have got me through the rough days - thank you again :)

Much love, Tabitha xx

This book looks interesting, should I buy it?
Tabitha McGowan I'm kinda biased, so I'm going to say yes - as long as you're good with the dark stuff!
