Author's Note

Hello lovely, wonderful readers!

I would like to start by formally thanking everyone for the continued kind and supportive messages left by readers during the last few updates, even the ones who check back in and instead of feeling upset by a lack of update, send me their well wishes. I've never had such an outpouring of love and support and it has touched me greatly!

Now onto the purpose of this update.

I know many of you don't follow my socials, and it's not so easy to announce things on these platforms so there's a lot readers aren't aware of, so I decided to add in this note chapter to give some more information.

Naturally, I will continue to post chapters for A Queen Among Gods whenever available, until the book is completed. This month I will also complete my other ongoing book, Codename: Aconite, as I have been bouncing between the two. When AQAGs is completed, I will reveal the (temporary) cover and synopsis for the first book in the next generation series titled the Royal Shadow Series, the second half of the God's Saga. I cannot release that information earlier as it will spoil upcoming events in this current book. The Royal Shadow Series will consist of 9 books, 2 of which will be posted under the same title as they are parts 1 and 2 respectively, and if you have been following this series carefully and have caught onto the fact I drop many breadcrumbs in my books, you might be able to figure out why there's a part 1 and part 2 for this particular title.

After AQAGs is completed, sometime in maybe May or June, I will be releasing a new book exclusive to GoodNovel titled Treasured Yet Discarded. It is a standalone book that I aim to have daily chapter releases on. Cover and synopsis have already been revealed. While this book is releasing, I will be working on chapters for book 7 in the Queen Among Series, A Queen Among Tempests so it will be ready to go when TYD finishes.

I do plan to release the first book in the next-gen series this year, but I haven't quite decided when Tempests ends, whether I'll start working on that book first or one of the 3 remaining spin-offs left in this series. For a reminder, those are Runaway Empress, a prequel to A Queen Among Snakes following Mei's parents. Dark Invocation, a spin-off to A Queen Among Darkness all about the villainous life of Isolde's imprisoned aunt, Manon, and Valor, Virtue and Verve, a prequel to A Queen Among Tides, depicting the story of Cole and Andromeda and their beginnings long before their untimely end.

I'm also working on releasing more of these stories in print, but they take time and money which is why things have been slow, and I also have a few completed works never before read that are releasing worldwide in mid 2026. So, even if i'm not updating, i am constantly working on this series, the continued series and many of my other projects. 

I haven't made plans for when I'll begin writing book 3 in the Codename trilogy, titled Codename: Hellfire, just yet, but given how much i want to complete the first half of the God's Saga, i might not work on that until 2025.

So, there is A LOT in the pipeline, and a lot i'm excited to bring you. The challenge is finding time and mentally energy to do it, but i'm not backing down anytime soon. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and i will check back in each day and reply to them. Thank you once again for the loyalty, love and support, and i will see you guys for the next update!

Much love,

Ashleigh xo
