Author's Personal Note

Hello to my lovely readers!

First of all, I want to thank every one of you and express my gratitude for being the best companions throughout the journey of THE TOXIC DEAL. And here the first phase of this journey is ended. I am feeling very overwhelmed right now that if you find any mistake of mine then please forgive me!

Now I know that you guys have many questions to ask so let me give the answers to some of them. If you have any different questions then feel free to ask through comments, on my Instagram account: author_rutujaP and you can also join me on Discord: https://discord.gg/meuNRGWf9A.

Why the book ended so early? So, I didn't plan this book before writing. I just wanted to go with the flow and as this was my first work I wanted to see where my ability will take me.

Is this an end to Bria and King's story? Certainly, NO! This is not the end of their story. It is just the end of the first phase of their story. No love story is completed without going through a rollercoaster ride of troubles. And Bria and King have their demons to fight with. They have just discovered their true feelings for each other and to attain their 'happily forever' they need to walk a long way.

So, what is the next step for you? Currently, as many of you know, I am working on my new book A MAZE OF GREED. Now, I know that some of you might say that I shouldn't have gone for the new book without leading Bria and King to their ultimate goal. But, honestly, I wanted to give some time to myself to give them a great journey that they deserve. And the most important thing is that THE TOXIC DEAL ended before I decided to work on the new book.

When we will get to read more about Bria and King? Next year- 2022

Any idea or plans regarding the sequel? I can't reveal much right now. But yes, the sequel will contain the rest of Bria and King's story. There will be more fun, more action, more secrets and more drama. THE TOXIC DEAL has some minor details and subplots that I have left to connect them in the sequel of the book. So till it becomes available to read, I request that you can either reread the entire book or wait for the sequel. To not let any of you get confused while reading the sequel, I will give glimpses of THE TOXIC DEAL wherever necessary to let the readers connect with the story without the need to go back and read the plot.

What we can do till then? You can do two things: Reread and recommend THE TOXIC DEAL and share your visions for the sequel or any suggestions that you want to give me. Read the new book A MAZE OF GREED and support me in WSA2021.

Anything you want to share about the new book? My new book A MAZE OF GREED is very different from THE TOXIC DEAL concerning the storyline and plot, period of time, writing style and a bunch of characters. I am enjoying working on it and I hope that you all will give as much love and support to it as you have given to THE TOXIC DEAL. Also, this is the first time I am participating in WSA2021 and I need all of your encouragement to give my best!

Your thoughts? For any writer, their work is like their baby. They plan, care, pampered and try hard to grow their work into the best version of it. Writers also get attached to their every character as much as readers. Readers may have their biases but writers have to adore and put every character, protagonist or antagonist, lead or secondary, on the same front. I am getting emotional (* you may find it cliche, but that's the truth*) that we all will have to take a break from Bria and King's crazy life, but at least I will have all of you with me during the new adventure of A MAZE OF GREED. To talk about THE TOXIC DEAL, I want to say a few things. I have tried to put things near to reality as much as possible but I have also taken that creative liberty to spice it up a little. There were so many ideas that I wanted to incorporate into the story but I had to restrict myself a little because I didn't want to make it heavy to digest and drift it away from reality. Also, I hope no one of you has anything negative to say about the book or even if you have then kindly let me know about it. I will definitely try to improve myself as a writer! I hope and wish that we will stay safe and spread peace and love!

Any questions apart from these or anything that you want to ask or share with me, please feel free to do so. I will be more than happy to hear you out more and answer your questions.

I have received some amazing comments and reviews from my readers which made me think that this story has hit as hard on them as much as to me. A special thank you to every one of them who took a minute to comment and share their thoughts!!!

A biiiiggggg CONGRATULATIONS to all of you and me to reach this point! :) I hope we have shared some good experiences along this journey.

See you on the new adventure of A MAZE OF GREED!

Happy Reading!
