Hello everyone.

Yes I went missing. Again.

It's for another very good reason though! And I wanted to share it with you, as honestly it means I probably won't be around for a long time.

So, I've always been very open with you all that much of Anna's original story and my own are rather intertwined. The good and the bad. Especially when it comes to fertility issues.

Well, just like Anna and Abe, me and my husband got a little surprise of our own this summer...

We're having a baby! Our little bubba was quite unexpected, as just like Anna and Abe, we had given up hope after losing two.

And wanna know something really really odd? Our bubba is due on Elli's birthday...

It's like I somehow magically did this but I promise it's true.

I want you all to know that I miss you very much, but I've gotta go and live my life for a while. I'm still writing, for my general career and my books, but balancing my big girl managing editor job, growing a human and genuinely existing is a lot. So I'm afraid, this smutty AU will have to wait.

I will have a Christmas update for you though! I wrote it ages ago, so you'll have two rather naughty chapters to enjoy. Don't tell Santa!

Love you all.
