Hi everyone,
          	
          	As you may have noticed, I have reposted PSL, with Love. After the epilogue, which I'll add tomorrow, the book is finished. I AM working on a story in the same universe focused on Meta and Robyn (Ben and Leanne's Robyn that is) which will feature both Ben and Alex a few years from now. So if you are interested, let me know!
          	
          	As for Mesmer, I am halfway editing the second book, but since I rarely get feedback on this story, I'm not sure whether I will post that here yet.

Hey! Just wanted to say I was rereading Mesmer, I don't have a Tapas account so I can't comment over there but it's still as amazing as I remembered.

Aw thanks! I’m doing a rewrite of the second book now, fleshing out Raghnall and the way he tutors Phyllis a bit more. No big changes, just an extra chapter between them. I intend to get the entire story posted there… but the rewrite will take a while!

So nice to see you reposting PSL with ❤️ again. I miss Ben and Alex, especially because it reminds me of my father's violin playing!

Dear followers,
          
          I have finished the Epilogue for PSL, with Love. With lots of beach vibes! Since I no longer post my stories on Wattpad, if you are interested in reading, let me know and I'll send you a link!

@filosofieke Hi! Yes. Yes, I did find you on Tapas. So, I guess I am all set to read your stories. I kind of been all over reading at other places. Tapas, ebooks from Kindle, and Bookfunnel. Thank you and take care. See you around. <3

As much as it pains me, I have unpublished all my stories from Wattpad for the time being. Friends of mine all have gotten their novels stolen from here. The current mass theft is going on on NovelHD. I worked on my stories for years and am currently translating Pumpkin Spice Latte, with Love (which you can still read on Tapas, for the time being) into Dutch. I can't stomach the idea that people would steal the content I have worked so hard on.
          
          So, with many regrets,  for the time being, unless this issue gets resolved, no more stories on Wattpad.
          
          @Devontabris since you were commenting on Cornelis, I'll get in touch with you after this weekend. I have a family emergency going on so I won't be able to earlier, but I really, really appreciate all the effort you put in with your remarks, and I don't want to rob you from reading on if you'd like.

@filosofieke I'm so sorry for this. But we understand that you have to do what you have to do because your efforts cannot just go to waste like that. I hope it's sorted out soon though.

@filosofieke I'm sad to hear this is a thing that is happening. It's perfectly understandable that you'd want to protect your stories.
            
            Thank you. No worries, I understand. I'd love to continue reading! I'm having a lot of fun with your stories. Hope your family will be fine, whatever's going on. See you after the weekend!

Hi! A quick update from my part:
          
          PSL, with Love will remain online for the time being. I AM working on the Dutch translation for a contract with a Belgian publisher, but since it's an e-book, I am allowed to do as I please with the English version. For now, that means I'm keeping it up!
          
          It also means I won't be updating Pearl&Parlour anytime soon. The translation takes a lot of work, and I want to have it ready, ideally before fall, so the publisher can put it out there in fall or winter, which fits PSL, with Love. I'm very excited to get this chance, even though it means putting some stuff on hold. 
          
          The experience will no doubt help me SO much with the idea I had for Pearl & Parlour, so that a nice bonus. In the mean time, I'll be quiet here, but I'm still checking messages and stuff, so comment away if you like! Comments are the best.
          
          Lots of love, Sofie

Dear friends,
          
          An update surrounding my current writing projects: after following a workshop, I got in contact with a Belgian publisher that expressed interest in a  Dutch version of PSL, with Love. Of course, translating that story is no small task, it will take me months. It's also a big chance for me, since they are willing to assist me with redactional notes.
          
          I can't do everything at once, so, for the time being, I'm putting Pearl & Parlour on hold. Especially since my current experiences might enable me to write a much better version of that story, in which Meta and Robyn dive into the same world  I'm exploring right now.
          
          As of now, nothing is decided yet. So for the time being, PSL, with Love remains online, and I have been working on the epilogue that I still want to add. Which is from Alex's POV and set at the beach.
          
          I'm also working on the last 7 chapters of 'Phyllis' I have left to edit, so there is little room for writing new stories until that is finished. Once I do, I plan to send that book around for critiques.
          
          But for now, my main focus is on PSL, with Love. My sister and mother are reading along as I translate and it has been big fun, introducing this story to them. Ben and Alex offered my mind a refuge in a very difficult year, and it would mean a lot to me to be able to share this story in my home country, so fingers crossed!
