Hello my Fine Specimens!
I’m sure you have noticed, but I’ve decided to change my pen name from Summer Blossom to Mara Bates. Summer Blossom was who I was when I first started writing—bright, hopeful, and figuring myself out. But I’ve grown since then. I’ve stepped into adulthood, experienced both the beautiful and the difficult parts of life, and I feel like my writing has grown with me. Mara Bates feels closer to the person I am now, while still carrying all the love I’ve always had for storytelling. This isn’t me leaving behind my old self—it’s me bringing her along into a new chapter.
I also want to clarify, Mara Bates isn’t my real name.
I love you all ❤️
