Hi, hi, hi!!!! It’s Minato. :3

I said I was going to write a Halloween short story on Instagram, but unfortunately, it’s a little late for Halloween… In fact, Christmas is around the corner– What?! >:0

Anyway, this post was mainly to announce something (ahem, the title…), but since we’re on the topic of holidays and stories, I may as well say that I will try to write a Christmas themed post!

And I say try because I can’t promise anything; If you don’t know, I was participating in Novel November, buuuttt my routine got messed up and all that motivation just broke, so I never even finished it. Really since then, I haven’t written anything: The Moon’s Lullaby, Stuck in Laemek, OR short stories.

I really do hope I can get to writing a Christmas AU, though, cause Christmas in general is a cute holiday to write anything to, so, hopefully inspiration SPARKS from there. I’d like to write an SIL-AU, but I also would like to keep up with Betrayal-AUs since Betrayal is my only published book (crazy, I know 🙄). But we’ll see.

ANYWAYYY, onto the actual announcement… My dad, Chris Marlow has just(?) come out with a site called MarlowVerse. Here, you can : “Watch exclusive videos, stream the latest tracks, discover unreleased content, and connect with the creative journey behind every song.”

“MarlowVerse is a community-supported platform built by artists, for artists. Your subscription directly funds the music, art, and experiences we create, while supporting our community of participating creators. No ads, no algorithms—just authentic content and a direct connection between artists and fans.“

Is that cool or what?!

Not to mention, if you click the hamburger in the right corner of his site, you can find his linktree which has a bunch of links to his socials and also links to Apple Music and Spotify. Within those links, though… is something far more magical than all of this…

Within the links, you’ll find a song titled, Focused. There, you can pre-save the song and guess what… I’M FEATURED ON IT!!

I was there almost the entire time it was being made, and it was a blast. Coming December 31, 2025!! :P
