It's been a while since I posted an update to FROSTWING ACADEMY, and that fault lies squarely on me. I doubt I'm going to finish by the deadline, but I'm going to do my damnedest to get there. I've always worked well under pressure (well, when it comes to writing, anyway), but one way or the other, this story is going to get finished.
          
          In Chapter Eight, Herleva's and Pol's first lesson at Frostwing Academy is that there are no secrets between partners. Whether they want to reveal those or not is to be seen ...

That sound you hear is me breathing a sigh of relief — FROSTWING ACADEMY made it through to Round Three! Now the hard work begins — finishing it. Good luck to all my fellow ONCers. You’ve got this.

I cannot believe this just happened. THE VAMPIRE'S PASTRY CHEF just hit 100k reads! I am so, so grateful to everyone who has read, commented, and voted on this little paranormal romance of mine. This was my first vampire novella, my first ONC entry. I haven't been on Wattpad very long, but I have been writing for more than three decades, and to see this story get to this point only reaffirms that some dreams are worth following. :)

Submitted FROSTWING ACADEMY for Round Two of ONC! Fingers crossed, and good luck to you all!

It's Herleva's and Pol's first day of class in chapter seven of FROSTWING ACADEMY. But the day doesn't start on the right foot when Herleva forgets to set her alarm ...

Lord, it's been a struggle to get this chapter finished. But here we have it: Chapter Six of FROSTWING ACADEMY is now up! It's time for Herleva and Pol to check out their joint living quarters -- and start their new life as partners.

And there was joy throughout the kingdom of Eastarion, because FROSTWING ACADEMY made it through Round One! 
          
          Congratulations are in order for everyone who also made it. Great job, folks! Onto the next!

And there we have it. I've submitted FROSTWING ACADEMY for Round One of ONC. Fingers crossed that I qualify this year. ;) And good luck to everyone else!

In Chapter Five of FROSTWING ACADEMY, Herleva and her brother arrive at the academy.
          
          Now, off to polish the first two chapters before submitting them. Fingers crossed that I pass Round One this time. :D
