I love your books.  It is so hard to find mermaid stories like yours and I hope you will write more mermaid/merman books mainly focus on underwater scenes, and different under water  kingdoms .

Aw thank you so much glad to hear you like them! After this series is complete (one more book to go!) I do plan to write a spin off series which will have new characters each book with an evil something learning in the depths - you might get an idea what I mean in the third book!

Hey everyone!
          
          First of all—thank you so much for all the love you’ve been giving The Merman’s Saga. I’m honestly having the best time with this series, and I’m so excited to share that I’ve started writing the third installment 
          
          A little heads-up: The Merman’s Saga will remain a trilogy…
          however—I may or may not be working on a slightly evil mastermind plan, because even after this story ends, something else is surfacing. But that’s an announcement for later ;)
          
          For now, I’m hard at work editing The Merman’s Calling, preparing the layout for print, and getting everything ready for a print-ready release. I’m currently looking for the perfect release date—and I’d love your input!
          
          Very soon, you’ll be able to purchase The Merman’s Hold and The Merman’s Calling (once released) directly from my website. Being able to hold this story in your hands means the world to me—and by buying the books, you’re supporting me more than you can imagine. I don’t earn much per sale, but knowing you love this world as much as I do truly fuels my motivation and helps me continue investing in printing future books.
          
          So—if you haven’t already, check out my website and grab The Merman’s Hold.
          And please comment below with a release date you’d love for The Merman’s Calling so you can add it to your shelves too!

✨ Hey Merman Saga fans! ✨
          
          Just a quick update: I’m busy editing Book Two, The Merman’s Calling, and it’s going really well! It’s taking a little time (editing is sneaky like that), but it’s definitely happening and getting ready for publishing.
          
          I can’t wait for you to read it, and I hope you’ll want your very own copy when it’s out—there’s nothing like that new book smell and holding a freshly published story in your hands! 
          
          In the meantime, if you haven’t already, you can check out Book One, The Merman’s Hold, to dive into the saga from the start. You can find it through the link on my profile or search for Print.24bookprint.com/dinjahoitink. I’ll share a proper release announcement for Book Two closer to launch, so keep an eye out if you want to grab it for your shelves.
          
          Thank you so much for your support—I’m so excited to keep bringing the Merman Saga to life for you! ✨

Exciting Update for The Merman’s Calling! 
          
          The story is almost complete! Just 4–5 more chapters to go, and I’ll do my best to update daily so you won’t have to wait too long! 
          
          If you’ve enjoyed the journey so far, consider checking out my website and supporting me. I’ll be editing this book soon—fixing plot holes, polishing the story, and preparing it for official publication. Every bit of support helps me bring you a beautiful, finished book… and your copy can be one of the first!
          
          And yes! The saga isn’t over, I’m already planning Book Three!

Which story do you want next? 
          
          
          Glitchmind: 
          
          One island. One survivor. Twenty-six steps to uncover the truth. Run and rise - before time runs out and Z is reached. 
          
          When journalist Mira awakens on the shore of a mysterious artificial island, her memories are gone. Armed with only her instincts, she must survive an environment that seems both abandoned and strangely alive. Something is watching her. Something ancient and mechanical. As Mira pieces together flashes of her past and explores the ruins of a failed utopia, she discovers the island's terrifying secret-and the monstrous biomech creature guarding it.
          
          
          Or 
          
          
          Becoming Akwirase: (native American story)
          She left as Mary. She returned as Akwirase.
          Captured in the chaos of frontier life, sixteen-year-old Mary Whitcomb is taken from her English settlement and thrust into a world that is as foreign as it is alive with spirit and tradition. Her only goal is to protect Clara, a child who becomes her tether to the past. But as days turn into seasons and Mary begins to understand the rhythms of the Mohawk village-the language, the customs, the quiet dignity of a people long misunderstood-something inside her begins to shift.
          And then there is Tewanias, the young warrior whose steady presence unsettles her heart and forces her to ask: where is home, and who is she now?
          Torn between two worlds, Mary must choose between the life she was born into and the life she has grown to love.
          But in a time of deep cultural divide, no choice is without cost.
          Becoming Akwirase is a sweeping tale of identity, love, survival, and the quiet courage it takes to become who you were meant to be.

@DinjaHoitink honestly both stories are cool in a sense both almost  match with and I don't mean to be indifferent or offend like the merman duology you have been making with newer twists and turns to each honestly  my guess would be whichever  one you like the most (p.s) the native American  story may have just be a contender for a insperation along with god of war and maybe the aztecs but I don't post stories I just draw characters) anywho, see ya on the flip side

I need HELP!!!!!! 
          
          Hi everyone!!! So I’ve been working on a few different stories. The first one you probably all know as im working on the Mermans Calling (book 2 of the merman’s hold) now honestly im struggling a bit with this book. Not really sure why. I have the idea and semi motivation (maybe that’s the biggest problem) but yeah just struggling to write it. But i have also recently been working on 2 other novels. Both stand alone stories… I would like you help to tell me if you’re interested in me uploading another book!
          
          The first book is Glitchmind. In short a girl is stranded on a strange uninhabited island with no memory and a strange creature. There is Danger and an obsessive love.  Will she get off the island? 
          Also this book has a fun challenge for my self, see if you can figure it out. Here is a hint: it has 26 steps and so i plan to make this book 26 chapters long. 
          
          The other book i have is a Native American story. Becoming Akwirase. A young white girl is kidnapped by native (as it does…) she navigates the life of a captive adopted white woman and perhaps find love too.
          
          Let me know if you would like more information on either of both of these as i can put their official blurbs in a new message. But please do help me!!! 
          
          Love, Dinja
