Voodoo Queens of New Orleans
- ReVamped and Rewritten [OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT]

It feels so surreal to finally be writing these words; to finally be sharing them with you all.

It’s been several years since I have finished the first book in the Voodoo Queens series. And even as I wrote the last sentences of the last chapter, I had this sneaking feeling that it was far from the end of this story and it’s influence on me.

Moving onto the second book, I couldn’t shake the vibe that the concept and idea of this story had grown so beyond the first draft that you’ve read. For that reason, I struggled to update frequently and eventually took down the second book altogether, as the new creative vision didn’t fit as a second book to the first draft. Contrarily, it made me realize that the first book needed to be rewritten, in closer faith and proximity of the vision I have for it now; the vision that is expanding more and more each day.

I know you guys love the original book, and I do, too, but since finishing it and rereading it for myself, I grew more inspired to let this story come even more to life; in the way that I might have rewritten the first draft originally. And after four years of brainstorming, mapping and planning, I am super excited to update you all and announce that...

Voodoo Queens of New Orleans - ReVamped and Rewritten will be published here on Wattpad and Narugi.com early Summer 2023!!

New characters, new covens, intense storylines, bigger settings, and even richer, more exciting plot and lore..and yes, the main characters from the original will be there, too!

It will be everything I wanted to add after the first book was finished; the details and backstories and thrilling drama that I was pissed I hadn’t thought of sooner. The story will generally be the same, but there will be many structural changes, many edits and many modifications. Even if you’ve read the first book, you won’t know what to expect with the revamped and rewritten version. ;)

Anyone who’s read my other stories, it will be similar to me rewriting The Publicist’s Plight (2015) based on Playboy Rehab (2013); writing an even bigger and better version of my original passion project.

As for the first draft, I plan to keep it up for the meantime if you still wish to read it, but my attention will be shifted onto the ReVamped version, so I will be referencing that plot and story from now on. :)

Thank you to all of you for showing this book so much love, support and patience. It’s on my mind every day and was one of the main inspirations for me rewritting this story. It felt like a crime to continue to allow the first draft to be the representation of my vision for this universe, and i’ve felt deeply that Spirit, Goddess, my ancestors; all of them have been encouraging me to make this story bigger and better than before.

The reason why the publishing date is so far out, is I am still in the beginning stages of planning out this novel, so I don’t want to be too ambitious. I understand you guys have missed this story tons, but please - if you could stay with me just a little while longer as I do my best to bring this story to life, I will be forever grateful.

If anyone is artistically savvy and would be interested in helping me create a cover for the Revamped and Rewritten version, please send me an email at [email protected].

I love you guys so much. And i thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the main reason that this story has consumed me body and soul. I never thought that it would garner the readership and support that it has, but because of you, I have this rattling in my bones—this calling of sorts—that is compelling me to dive into this head on. And trust me —it’s only the beginning ;)
