I seem to have upset someone who has never read my stories by announcing I've taken one down.
Just so you know, we don't get paid for hosting our stories here, so if an author decides to publish a story commercially, it has to come down from this site.
Kindred Spirits has been available for free for 8 years now, if I took it down while you were reading it, I apologise.

I'm so sorry for the delay with the (possibly final) part of Poppy season one.

I've been very busy at my day job, and also working flat out with a rewrite of Kindred Spirits (see other blog post).

I've a few weeks off work now, so in between doing the gardening, decorating etc, I'm going to write Poppy part 49.

The second bit of Poppy news is that I've listened to comments from a few of my regular correspondents, and I'm going to do a full PG rewrite of the story. This will take a lot of work, as the R-rated content is pretty central to the first third of the story, so that needs careful work, but we need to keep Poppy's sex work on the streets, without going into too much detail.

I'm going to enjoy the challenge...

I've had a couple of messages asking where Kindred Spirits has gone.
I took it down at the weekend as I've just completed a PG rewrite of the whole story, pitching it as the Young Adult story it should always have been.
I don't want two versions of the story online, so I took the original down.
Once I've had the new version proof read I'll pop it up on Bookapy.

A proper roller-coaster episode

Poppy remembers more of the attack; Belle takes Maisie to Amber's; Poppy, Katie and Lia go dress shopping for the charity gala.

I've got a few intense weeks coming up at work, so there may be a delay before the next part, but don't worry, it will be coming...
