Hey everyone, 

I'm sorry I haven't updated you all in a while regarding The Chosen Saga.

So, I've made the decision to unpublish GOMAL. I could tell you it's because life is busy at the moment, which it is: I've just had a gallbladder surgery, c-section, and have two children, both of which right now have chest infections (which I myself have but I don't really care if I have it). But it's not the only reason.

I'm going to be honest, and harsh to myself (but not self-pitying): GOMAL wasn't executed very well. I can tell by the feedback I've gotten. More of you love it than hate it, which is great, but  I've come to the conclusion that I need to rewrite this if I want it to go anywhere. Because I am self-published, I can't put funds into marketing, which means I have a really low chance of reaching readers. So my work has to be top-notch. To be honest, I feel I would have more supporters if I had the money to market the book, but I can't do that. 

My husband tells me every day that I shouldn't care about the 'haters' because I have to write what I want to write, and he's right. Except, GOMAL wasn't the story I wanted to write - not exactly. I wanted a fantasy story revolving around characters, not plot, with the sole focus being loneliness. But for a story, that can get boring. I added, very quickly I might add, action scenes that were not well thought out. 

When the book was a manuscript, I sent it to a lot of people who gave me positive feedback. Some of them were genuine, others, I feel, were misleading. Not that it's their fault the story wasn't as successful as I had hoped, but it made me believe there were no faults. No one is to blame, not even myself. You can't account for readers.

I have a vision for The Chosen Saga. It's epic and beyond me, but I want to try. The first book existed as a means to introduce the world and its characters, and according to halve of you, it failed. This will be a slow series, where we get to know the characters and the world. I apologise if that is not something you want to read, but it's something I want to write. But that doesn't mean it's not going to be exciting.

Therefore, I am rewriting GOMAL. Some of you may be sniggering right now, but I don't mind that. I'm indie, I can do what I like :P 

Hey, this new version might not be to your liking either. You might really hate it. In fact, it could get even worse reviews! But at least this will be the story I wanted to write, full of plot, action and most importantly, REAL character development. 

For the fans, I know you might be sad about this, but I honestly want to make GOMAL better for me, and for you, not for the people who hated on it. GOMAL wasn't the story I wanted. But don't worry; it's going to be pretty much similar, just more... ME.  

So, I am going to rewrite GOMAL and that's that. I hope you'll support me and enjoy the new version!
