Hello Gentle (and not so) Readers,
          
          Happy New Year!  I hope your holidays were amazing, and the first few days of the new year are full of hope and happiness.
          
          For me, they're full of change. Last year was a difficult one, the stress of the world, the constant work, and several other personal issues made it difficult to write, find my joy, and a path forward. Much self-work, returning to my foundations, finding my roots -- and other self-care work, yielded a new lease on life.
          
          Through it all, my community of readers have been my guiding light in the darkest of storms.  You are the reason I write. 
          
          So -- to give back, I wanted to invite you to my Ream Subscription. I have a limited about of spots for my Readers Club - which includes all of my backlist stories, stories that are in pre-publication (scheduling to release this year), short stories, one shots Wattpad that was too spicy and took down (more coming), a growing community of readers, and the first place I update my newest writings.
          
          I like it better than any other platform I've worked with to this point. 
          
          As a special thank you -- I'm offering a permanent coupon discount to my Reader's Club tier.  Normally a $50 a month tier, this coupon code will take $40 off -- FOREVER. 
          
          Coupon Code -- EMPYREANREADERCLUB
          https://reamstories.com/sapphariamayer
          
          I made this offer open to the first 100 people who use the coupon code because I want you to be able to read your favorite stories over and over, all the while keeping up with what's going on as new stories, lore, and other goodies are added. This new platform is growing, and I'm excited to be a part of it as I build a community of readers who loves my characters as much as I do.
          
          I hope to see you there!  (A new story is about to be posted-- and I'm really enjoying the twists).
          
          Here's to a great 2024!

To those who sent me a message to let me know I'd moved over a chapter twice- THANK YOU!
          
          Release Me Chapter 22 has now been 'fixed' - if you read it prior and saw it was a duplicate, you can now catch the actual chapter.

Hello Gentle (and not so) Readers,
          
          I hope this missive finds you well and whole. It's been a busy summer (and I think I fell down a mental/emotional hole), but I finally found my way back to the top. 
          
          I am re-releasing my books (better tools, better craft, a bit of re-editing) to prepare for 7 new releases. If you'd like to be an ARC reader, please let me know. I'm starting with Mask Me - and working my way through the series until I've touched all my current books. 
          
          Once the re-releases are complete, I'll launch "Release Me", "The Initiate", "The Triad", "The Consort", "Entangled Desires", "Obey Me", "Captivate Me" and "Protect Me" (All but one of these is complete, or almost complete)-  
          
          If you don't want to be part of my ARC readers on the relaunch (all I ask is that you leave honest reviews on your favorite reading platforms) - but you want to keep up on the latest news and release - Join my newsletter (Yes, I've been terrible about it but I've done a lot of work this summer to course correct some things.) -- 
          
          As they say - Failure is the first step in Success - now it's time for great success.
          
          Hope you all have an amazing day!

Hello Gentle (and not so) Readers,
          
          Milestones...
          In a day or so, I will cross the 1M word mark in the 20 novels/novellas I've written. (That does not include extra words in the articles, side pieces, short stories that aren't on a publishing schedules, blurbs, copy, etc.)
          
          Not all of those words/books have cross the Wattpad threshold- some are going straight to publishing. (Like my books Captivate Me, Obey Me and Quieting her Attitude- )
          
          Of course, to celebrate - the entire cast characters "handed" me the base plot sheets for the next 15 books (1M words)-  at least this time I know where they are headed with them and generally how they interconnect and such (a first for them).
          
          In no particular order (because I don't know who's coming first and it was futile to plan)- 
          
          The Corina Collection - Final story Protect Me (goes with Captive Me and Obey Me- Not on Wattpad)
          
          The Sovereign Society - The Regent
                                                          - The Master
          
          The Dom Collection - Prof/Student (They gave me no titles, just concepts) - The Trials - The Regency Pool (Dominick's backstory with Atlas - leading up to Release Me - Yes, I'm mad at Dominick- we’ve “talked about this since I wrote Release Me) he added this to my workload after,  yes- we are still having words over it).
          
          His Art Collection - (Parker Chase's Collection)  - The Artist   - Centerpiece
           - Masterpiece.  - Peace after Resistance
          
          (Parker and I've been discussing this collection for awhile, but he wasn't ready to give up his story - and now I know why)
          
          The Attitude Collection (working Title off of An Adjustment of Attitude)  - There's 4 stories - 
          
          2 Novels I know the highlights about 
          
          (Total word count estimate - 1M words - but at least they gave me plot lines - now maybe I can get more consistent writing.) 
          
          So - let's see how this goes. I make no commitments because this characters are PIA-   Anyway- thought you’d like an update. 
          
          Hope you are enjoying Release Me.

Dear Gentle (and not so) Readers - 
          
          Help me with my Mask Me Blurb!
          
          Being an author is important to me. Each year I put in the time to write more words (I average about 300K /year - like Bruno, we're not discussing 2022), besides improving my back catalog (from covers, to blurbs and everything in between) as I learn more about the best way to pull readers into my world.
          
          It is a juggling act, and mostly I've gone solo in a lot of ways, but this year I thought I would start branching out and trying something new - outsider participation.
          
          Here's your chance to give me an opinion on my book - Mask Me.
          
          Right now it is the first book in this series, though the prequel is coming out this year.
          
          Pop on over to my Patreon page and take the poll. - Give me your opinion and we'll see where it goes.
          
          https://www.patreon.com/posts/help-me-find-78245453
          
          If you've ever read the book - you can see which one matches, or would have drawn you in more.
          
          As always, I am grateful for all those who choose to give their opinion.
          
          Hope to see you over there.

Hello dear readers,
          
          What a whirlwind of a month. I've uploaded audiobooks in more places to hear them for free (well, you have to listen to an ad or two.) Over the next few weeks, I'm will add them to YouTube and release them at a chapter a day. All current published novels are in audio form, and the new ones are usually done as I work on the publishing process.
          
          My goal is to get His Toy Collection and The Exquisite Collection out in individual books, and omnibus by March.
          
          There was such a lack of engaged interaction of interest to Release Me, I almost held it back, but you'll notice the cover is up and so is the prologue. I will release a new chapter every Tuesday morning. 
          
          If you've read Mask Me, and the rest of the Atlas Collection, you'll recognize some of the characters you've already met and see them in a time before the club. If you've not read the series, then this will introduce you to the characters and help make sense of some interest situations in Mask Me.
          
          Either way, I hope you enjoy.

Hello gentle readers (and not so)...
          
          I hope the beginning of this new year is treating you well. For me, several small disasters put me behind, but such is life. 
          
          Today, a couple weeks late, I closed out The Consort - now it's off to all the lovely planning and pre-publishing work.
          
          Next week, if there is enough interest (just comment to this post if you are)- I will start posting Release Me (which is the prequel to Mask Me where we learn how Atlas wound up in those interesting situations). We shall see if this is what you desire.
