An Update!
Added 2023-07-28 19:40:56 +0000 UTCI look very tired. Because I am. But I am doing a lot better, so uh...here we are :)
Also this video has been uploaded to Patreon itself, rather than being a YouTube embed. Why? Because Patreon won't let me just copy over the link of the YouTube video. But uh...never mind?
I hope you're all doing well!

I think Ingram Spark distribute to Apple Books, so it should turn up there on release day :)

2023-09-18 09:12:58 +0000 UTCI look forward to being able to preorder. If possible, I hope you also release it on Apple Books, since I prefer that platform. If that's not possible, I'll adapt.

2023-09-16 01:33:41 +0000 UTCI would love an unproofed copy!😊

2023-08-23 02:30:26 +0000 UTCUnproofed copy? Yes please, when you have a minute and nothing better to do :) but please look after yourself, and your family, before worrying about us randoms on t'internet.

2023-08-02 14:49:18 +0000 UTCI hope the stress levels start reducing soon! Since you’re so kind to offer, I would love to see that early version, as long as you don’t mind getting proofreading notes back. I proofread/beta read for a few authors, and at this point I think I’m incapable of reading without making notes about things that jump out at me. Thanks for taking the time and effort to turn the videos into a book. I really enjoyed the videos, and am very much looking forward to reading the expanded storyline - especially that hot editor!

2023-08-01 17:42:04 +0000 UTCTake all the time you need, stress makes nothing better. Hope all the things work out for the best!

2023-08-01 05:53:32 +0000 UTCso sorry things are hard at the moment, but there are lights at the end of some of the tunnels. regards your extraneous life events, i hope they all resolve happily and sooner rather than later, but just remember, the book is nearly done! so very nearly done! i look forward to monday's video, but especially to feb; i'll be moving on the 28th, so your book is going to be giving me some much needed respite and dopamine replenishment, just in time for the peak moving stress! honestly, that couldn't be better timing for me if i'd organised it myself, so thank you! look after yourself in the meantime, and remember to ask for help where you need it.

2023-07-30 21:56:49 +0000 UTCComplex life things can be complex and stressful. For what it's worth, have a hug or three from me.

2023-07-30 21:01:46 +0000 UTCYou know... that advice that everybody keeps giving Rosamund... well... you already know this... but I'm saying it anyways... Follow. It! Take care. Good to hear from you. Hope to hear from you in the future. For that to happen, you need to take care of yourself. I'm not telling you anything you don't know already. Telling it anyway.

2023-07-30 18:44:29 +0000 UTCOh my gosh, the release date is my birthday!!!!!!!!!! What a fabulous birthday present! Very excited! Additionally, please do take care of yourself, take breaks, accept help and all the good things. Hopes and prayers that life stuff gets straightened out in a positive way <3
Zoe Patton
2023-07-30 12:15:48 +0000 UTCI would also take a pre-proofread copy of the book to Beta-read. I don't want to add to your burdens but would you consider some way to offer signed copies of the book to your Patrons? Your 'nebulous life challenges' are cause for concern. I understand your desire to keep your personal life personal and I'm not probing. I hope the people closest to you are in good heath. When they are not other tribulations seem minor. I send you the prayers of a Dalek.

2023-07-30 11:57:05 +0000 UTCI read the latest draft in one go on an international flight. SO MUCH development since the draft before AND it was fabulous, fabulous. I loved it. I have all the faith in all the process. Woohoo!
Miriam D
2023-07-30 07:55:00 +0000 UTCIn the nicest way you do look done it. As others have said I'm glad you're accepting help, please also accept your limits, (especially remember limits stretch with sufficient self care and shrink with out). Now I'll stop trying to be a pint sized Polonius and add my name for the pre proofread copy. I also look forward to the ebook to expand text for reading and a physical copy to later sell to pay for my future granchilds university education. Sleep well, be quick to delegate and remember occasional fast food dinners are a good thing.

2023-07-30 01:09:13 +0000 UTCI like the way you think 😂 Jill might not but I'd like Book 2 "I'd wear it"a thrilling spy chase involving Robin and a sequence of Masquerade balls.

2023-07-30 00:57:40 +0000 UTCPlease take care of you! 💚

Laura Manzano
2023-07-29 23:51:33 +0000 UTCAs you can tell by your comment section, you have a very understanding and supportive community. Take the time you need to do the things that you need to do away from your job. It'll be here when you get back and so will we. I'd love to have an un-proofed copy of the book. I'd like to see if my dyslexic self can actually "see" any misspelled words.
Donna Flood
2023-07-29 20:41:02 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you're taking time for yourself to feel better! I hope all the things get less stressful soon. Can't wait for the book, I'd love to be able to get an unproofed copy

Thomas Conder
2023-07-29 15:07:49 +0000 UTCI would love a copy of the not yet proofread book, but only if it doesn't add more to your already very full schedule. You are absolutely amazing, and taking care of yourself should be your first priority <3
Melissa Morphew
2023-07-29 14:28:27 +0000 UTCWhilst I would love to have an updated, though not yet proofed copy, Please not at the cost of you over extending yourself. Take care of you. Your fans will be here. We value you For you. Best wishes from the UP.
Michael Gammill
2023-07-29 13:23:44 +0000 UTCHey Gill, first and foremost always rebember to look after yourself. We are patient, we can and will wait. 😁 So thanks for the update and good luck with whatever life is throwing in your way. And its awesome you asked for help. Knowing you can ask but actually overcome your inhibitions and ask are two pair of shoes! 👍💪
FlyingLiz
2023-07-29 10:51:54 +0000 UTCI'll forgo requesting a copy as my TBR pile is already glowering at me like a literary Mount Doom, containing as it does hardback editions that I haven't started even though the paperback edition is now available. I will, however, look forward to ordering the final fully polished version when it is published, whereupon it may have the honor of being added to the small stack of books on my bedside table (as opposed to the large stacks in other rooms), of books that I want to read soon.
Alexander
2023-07-29 10:15:22 +0000 UTCTake care of yourself. I hope you get a chance to rest and recuperate, and that things work out well in the end 🤞🤞😃
Gavin Thomas
2023-07-29 09:12:49 +0000 UTCPlease remember to, above any other considerations, look after yourself. Thank you for asking for help, I know how difficult it is. I am looking forward to the book! Please may I have an unproofed copy? Good luck with everything. Remember that you need to prioritise yourself.

Emily May Evans
2023-07-29 06:46:06 +0000 UTCProud of you for keeping on top of it all. I’ve been there, and it’s not fun and reaching out for help can be hard, so well done!
Jemima Woodard
2023-07-29 06:33:15 +0000 UTCWithout wishing to add to your stressors, one day it could be titled "Just Stab Me Now: One Crisis at a Time Book 1"
Rix Scaedu
2023-07-29 02:29:48 +0000 UTCI would love to kid myself that I have the time to look at and proof read your book, but I can't, so I won't ask for a copy. But I will look forwards to purchasing the finished copy to read once it is completed whenever that is. I echo everyone else in saying take care of yourself, and also that asking for help or even admitting to yourself that you need it is hard. Been there. So... glad to hear that you are doing better, and hope that betterness continues for you.
ConvincingIllusion
2023-07-29 02:01:11 +0000 UTCI'm glad to hear you are taking care of yourself... I have learned that it can be quite difficult to accept that "doing the things" is not in itself sufficient to keep one going, I'm sure you will agree. That being said, please please please I want an unproofed copy of the book, please! I will of course also purchase the finished product, probably in multiple formats, but I want it soonest and special -est too! Take care, Godspeed, and get some rest when you can.

Carl F Plossl
2023-07-28 21:28:03 +0000 UTCI will gladly collect another, more recent, copy of your unproofed manuscript. I plan to preorder both the ebook and the paperback, as well as the as-yet-unplanned super-duper, hardback, special edition! It is summer. That means EVERYONE is entitled to at least one week of vacation time. Non-scheduled, open- ended, free time. Take yours. Please? We love you!
Ann Brookens
2023-07-28 21:27:16 +0000 UTCWould you like a cup of tea?
Aeysir
2023-07-28 21:11:37 +0000 UTCI would love to .. no, wait a minute. I'm pretty sure I already have the unproofed copy 😄 I definitely recommend that you adopt "fun me-time" as a proper project to list and manage alongside "making youtube content" and "bringing book to fruition" and "care and support of friends/family" and "boring cleaning/maintenance tasks". Perhaps picturing yourself as this fussy red headed friend of yours who (list flavors of stubbornness here) and you're determined to show her a good time might help work as a helpful tool to maintain the balance. I know I've got to do something similar sometimes, and it helps. And those folk who support your work, their support extends to keeping that weird friend of yours in good spirits as well so show 'er a good time eh. xD
Jesse Thompson
2023-07-28 21:06:59 +0000 UTCWishing you rest and the rapid ellimination of stressful things!
Jack Fisher (ChumSlinger)
2023-07-28 20:55:48 +0000 UTCWishing you always and only the best! I would be very grateful for an unprovoked copy. Sleep is good. I am reminded of Bilbo Baggins feeling like too little butter spread over too much bread...
Jim Sanderson
2023-07-28 20:52:59 +0000 UTCHuzzah! Yes, please, I would like an unproofed copy!
Aimee King

Jean-Sébastien Roy
2023-07-28 20:46:33 +0000 UTCLike a boss at work once told me: "take care of yourself because you are of no use to us in the hospital. " so there is that. Beyond that, though, patreon has let me get to know you a little, and it makes me sad to think you are struggling. Take as much time as you need. We will be here when you come back!

2023-07-28 20:45:41 +0000 UTCYay book! I hope you feel better!
Eva Schiffer
2023-07-28 20:41:17 +0000 UTCWe would live an unproofed copy of the book. Take care of yourself, glad you were able to reach out and get some help. Hope the nebulous maybe future stress is either only good stress or evaporates into past worries.
Michael and Theresa Andresen
2023-07-28 20:37:20 +0000 UTCPlease, I would like the unproofed copy! I've read both drafts and enjoyed both. And I did, in fact, read the fanfiction.
Jeff Titterington
2023-07-28 20:18:14 +0000 UTCYou really do look tired. Remember, sleeping is good. *hugs*
Anders
2023-07-28 20:11:15 +0000 UTCI would also like an unproofed copy! I really liked the first draft when I read it, and I completely forgot about the 2nd draft you posted about a month ago. So that's getting downloaded and will be my go-to the next time Ao3 is down or I don't have internet.
Kaylen Peterson
2023-07-28 20:10:12 +0000 UTCI would love to read a copy of the unedited book. Hell, I plan to purchase both the ebook and hardcover/paperback editions. Please though, take your time because your health comes first. And, on a personal note, I want thank you for inspiring me to turn my D&D campaign into a potential book.
Mark Dowling
2023-07-28 20:07:57 +0000 UTCI'd love an unproofed copy! But as a bit of a mother hen I'm looking at you and want to wrap you in blankets and tell you not to worry about anything and take a nap. I'm glad you've asked for help, and continue to take care of yourself please <3

2023-07-28 19:59:32 +0000 UTCYou have managed to completely upstage the book update with your personal life mystery. 😳 Hope lt’s not illness. I would like to say I knew the future J.K.Rowling before the world wide fame. 😊
