I lost my dad early in 2024, and the loss left me in a state of paralysis—unable to move forward, unable to create, barely able to function. Grief has a way of reshaping time and energy, and over the last few months, I’ve had to find a way back to myself—one word, one step at a time.
          	
          	Even though it’s so much later than I had planned and hoped, I don’t want to break my promise of bringing Spy Dust to life. Finally, I’ve found the strength to finish it. The full story is now available as a paperback on Amazon and Lulu, and as an e-book on Ko-Fi (links are in my bio).
          	
          	Starting tomorrow, I’ll begin republishing Spy Dust here on Wattpad with weekly updates. I hope you’ll join me on this journey once again.
          	
          	Thank you for being here—for reading, for sharing, and for helping me find my voice again.

My dear Laureline!!
          Just wanted to send a message saying I hope all your moving back home went well and that every day is getting better :)
          Life update is: I am off to uni soon so that's exciting; I got appendicitis but caught it early and had an uncomplicated operation (yay!); and I'm currently recovering (from this op) and freaking out over the current political climate lol :(
          I haven't been able to read what you've posted here so will update but Spy Dust is literally my Roman Empire lol!! Always on my mind... especially Alexei :)
          One thing I wondered about is why change his surname? Is Ronov too common or did you like the sound of Zorin better? I'm curious :)
          Thinking about you always and tell me what you're up to!!!
          Sending so much love and heat from the UK!!
          GROS BISOUSxxxxx

Hey author... Just wanted to ask if you're ever planning on updating on Mercury and the spy master here ? Also wanted to let you know I'm a huge fan of your work.. it's quality content... Like so well done.. i read russian gambit a while back was really disheartened to see it go.. it literally lifted me up when I heard you're uploading it again. Russian gambit was obv different from this but so far what I've read of spy dust.. you really made it better... Eagerly waiting for more

@kindaouttaluck_ Thank you so much for your message! I’m really happy to hear you remember Spy Dust (Russian Gambit) so fondly. Yes, I’ll definitely be updating Mercury and Spymaster as soon as I can. Thanks again for your support; it really means a lot!

Actually I wanted to ask where can I read full spy dust ?? paperback is not available in India..

The_Mafia_Gal

@Umamahjin I believe you should be able to get Spy Dust on Lulu.com—they even print locally in India. You can find the link to Lulu on my profile. As for Amazon, I’m not entirely sure, since even with global distribution enabled, there seem to be country-specific restrictions on shipping. Let me know if Lulu works for you! If you run into any issues, I’ll reach out to support to check. ❤️

@Umamahjin Hi there! Russian Gambit is an older version of Spy Dust. The main characters are essentially the same, but the plot is a bit different and the overall story is shorter compared to Spy Dust.  Hope this helps! ❤️

Hello author!!
          I hope you're doing well and if not then wishing you strength.
          It's been almost a year since I last wrote . I was here back to read the book again but I see that it's not there and I really really want to read it againnn but also your well being, your family's well being is more important.
          I hope your dad is doing good now 
          If in case you ever doubt it, your work is great which is evident from other's messages out here .
          Sending love ❤️
          And fine I'll wait for the books, whenever you give us those
