In just 13 hours, Mariel has gained 7 preorders and 17 followers. I’m blown away.

Thank you to everyone who’s read, followed, preordered, or messaged me. This story has lived in me for years, and seeing it start to move like this means more than I can say.

My dream for Mariel isn’t just to see it published. I believe it could live on screen. Netflix, Hulu, wherever it lands… I built a world to last.

To everyone who’s joined early: thank you. You’re not just readers — you’re the reason this story might break through. As my book says, “To be human is to feel, and it’s okay to feel.”
And I am definitely feeling right now.

I’ll be uploading Chapter One soon. If you’ve read the prologue already, I’d love to know what hit you hardest.

Love,

A.J.F
