Current Writing Project 🗂️

Hey guys,

I just want you to know that I finally finished writing Mines Forever. Yay!!!

It is 766 pages as an ebook and was released on 2.28.26 on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. So if you want to add these to your Kindle it’s available now. I’m working on getting the paperbacks out in late March.

This book took me nearly two years to complete and it’s finally done.

Now I am working on writing Book 2 which I have already started working on the new chapters on Wattpad.

Thank you all for supporting me on this journey. I’m glad to be back here on Lemon8. Sorry about going ghost.

3/3 Edited to

... Read moreAs a longtime fan of mafia romance novels, I found Mines Forever to be a compelling blend of dark intrigue, complex family dynamics, and intense romance. What stood out most to me was the richly developed characters and the twists around cousin rivalry and paternity reveals that added emotional depth beyond typical genre tropes. The author's decision to release Book 2 chapters first on Wattpad before publishing on Amazon is an excellent way to engage directly with readers and receive feedback during the writing process. For anyone interested in serialized storytelling or who enjoys getting early access to new installments, following the Wattpad chapters is a great choice. From my experience, books that take nearly two years to complete—like Mines Forever—often have more nuanced plots and well-crafted character arcs. This dedication shows in the detail and pacing, which kept me hooked across all 766 pages. If you own a Kindle or use Kindle Unlimited, Mines Forever is readily accessible, and the upcoming paperback release offers a collectible option for readers who prefer physical books. Being able to switch seamlessly between ebook and Wattpad chapters provides flexible reading enjoyment. Finally, the blend of romance with mafia-themed suspense and family drama makes this series unique. Themes such as teenage pregnancy, intimacy moments between the main characters, and family secrets give the story a realistic feel that many readers in this niche appreciate. Overall, Mines Forever is a must-read for anyone looking for a fresh take on the mafia romance genre with emotionally charged storytelling.
