Thank you!

I'm usually not the overly sentimental type, but HOLY COW, the supportive community here on Wattpad has really blown me away. I truly feel blessed to have received so much encouragement, feedback, and inspiration.

I am hoping to eventually be able to commission some artwork of Toom and Niako to post here. If you'd like to contribute to that cause, I've created a Ko-Fi account. I've linked that account, one of Niako's interview, and the prequel in a comment at the right!

To everyone who has supported me here: thank you, thank you, thank you! Wattpad's motto is "Where stories live," and I have to say, you all have brought my story to life. I know for certain "The Claimed" would not be the same without @sandydragon1, @RowanCarver, @Fayesther, @MarieLotte, @empiresofwater, @liann_aixa, @Allison_Hei, @CharlieOakree, @mehutch, @simple_miaseng, and many others!

A special thank you to my very first supporters, wonderful writers and human beings who believed in my story from the start and stuck with me all the way through: @sarahsarasarita and @blamesaiki. I am so lucky to have found you.

Also, @RowanCarver wrote a brilliantly brutal fanfiction about what happens to the remains of Makash's body. If you want to read it, just send either of us a PM.

Two bonus chapters with Niako's POV are up next! If you have another suggestion for a bonus chapter, feel free to comment or PM me. In addition, you can check out the link posted at right for Niako's interview.

What's next?

If you loved this fantasy universe, there's more!

1. The Claimed: Rashika's Resistance (complete!)

Prequel about Epsa during the rising rebellion against King Makapu (featuring a F/F romance)

2. The Claimed: Vigilante (coming soon!)

Sequel where adult Finny deals with fallout from aggrieved former slaves and slave masters (featuring a F/M romance)

In a separate fantasy universe, I am also writing a manxman romance called "Lord of the Night" about a noble Guardian and his Demon prisoner.

For another manxman story, check out "Human Bait," my post-apocalyptic horror-romance!
