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.
          	
          	Laureline

@itsth3a Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this message—it makes me so incredibly happy to read that. And sorry for the late reply! I’m in the middle of packing and moving my stuff (returning to Switzerland at the end of the month so everything is a mess). I hope all’s well with you! Gros bisous! ❤️

Emily Carter é uma policial determinada, movida pela justiça.
          Lorenzo Bianchi é o herdeiro da máfia italiana, um homem que aprendeu desde cedo que amor e fraqueza são sinônimos.
          Eles se conhecem em uma noite comum, sem saber quem realmente são - e o destino decide brincar com ambos.
          
          Um romance proibido nasce entre dois mundos opostos.
          Enquanto Emily luta contra o crime, Lorenzo é o crime.
          O amor deles desafia regras, leis e fronteiras.
          Mas cada escolha tem um preço - e o deles será pago com sangue, saudade e segredos.
          
          Anos se passam, promessas são quebradas, famílias se desmoronam e renascem.
          Entre a justiça e o pecado, entre o dever e o desejo, eles descobrem que o amor é o único crime sem perdão - e também o único capaz de salvá-los.

Hi, I hope you are doing well! I really am in love with your writing and your book. While you were publishing Moscow winter in your website, I had half read it till you had published but now I have been in the suspense of what happens next, such good is your writing. Would love to know when will you be starting to publish Moscow winter or when will the paperback of it be available. 
          
          Love from India!

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

The_Mafia_Gal

@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. ❤️

@yesyesyesokaybye Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your kind message and your support—it means more than I can say. I hope the paperback brings you just as much joy, and I’m wishing you all the happiness and health as well!
