Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Crystal Secret here,

I give you all my most sincere apologies, I realise I have been absent for the past month and therefore have not uploaded any new stories or chapters. But I do however, have a perfectly reasonable explanation for this undeniably and extremely rude break from the writing. I have been active, very much so. But why I haven't been updating recently is an entire story on its own. Allow me to explain.

Let's just start off by saying that transitioning from a regular high school to a home school is incredibly difficult. And it's even more complicated when you make that transition overnight. You heard me right, I moved from one school to another in just a few days. Why pray tell? Because I bloody well felt like it! No, that is not at all the reason but the reason why I did leave my perfectly okay private school to do the less preferable form of education is well...complicated. But it's also quite personal and I do not wish to get into that mess right now with a bunch of highly anticipating followers who haven't heard from me in just over a month. I'm sure you're all wondering when I'm going to upload my next story. And the answer to that is soon. Soon my pretties. Soon shall I give you a taste of something that is a little less than decent. Or absolutely magnificent! That is, if it's as good as The Last of Its Kind.

Speaking of The Last of Its Kind, do you remember my last blog? Of course you don't! How could you? You probably don't even remember my name! Let me track your memories a little...do you remember this paragraph?

TheCaptainSand is going to do a live reading of The Last of Its Kind!

Yes and guess what? I woke up this morning to find that I had received a message from the very man himself! He informed me that well, you can probably guess...

He finally made a video of his reading of The Last of Its Kind! Please, do go and listen to it. I've never really had anyone do a reading of any of my stories and well, I'm pretty excited about it. So please, do go and subscribe to him, I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

Now, onto the next piece of good news. I'm sure some of you here have heard of Fantasia Archsage? Well, for those of you that do, he so happened to be kind enough to personally write a review for the Last of Its Kind. He gave a pretty fair and detailed review. So feel free to check it out, and give him so love on his tumblr. You can read it here: Fantasia Archsage Reviews - The Last of Its Kind

Now, for the bit you've all been waiting for. The part of the blog where I discuss my future stories. Yes, I know that's what you've you been waiting for isn't it? You can't possibly deny it now. Drum roll please....

That's a trombone Pinkie...oh well.

The good news is I have written a new story but the bad news is I'm currently waiting on my proofreaders to get off their asses and actually fulfil their half of the agreement. I've sent it off and I'm still waiting to get it back, hopefully that'll be soon.....

But in the mean time I guess I could give you some idea of what my next story is about. I mean, it's the least I could do. After all, you guys have waited a whole month and you opened up this blog expecting news of a new story. But were sorely dissapointed by lack there of. So to make up for it, I shall present to you the coverart of which this story is going to be displayed. Enjoy.
