Hi.

I'm so excited to share the beginning of "Beyond Applause" with you. This story is a journey I've just begun—a tale of glittering stages, hidden garden hideaways, and a love that's as dazzling as it is tender.

Please bear with me as I navigate this new adventure with Atlas and Lina. Through their experiences, I hope to capture the complexities of fame, personal connections' beauty, and vulnerability's quiet strength.

Writing this story is an emotional rollercoaster for me. As you read these early chapters, I hope you'll feel the same emotions that inspire me. Picture the scenes vividly, imagine yourself alongside Atlas and Lina as their story unfolds, and share in their moments of joy, doubt, and discovery.

As I continue to grow as a writer, my greatest wish is that this story sparks your imagination and touches your heart.

Thank you for joining me at the beginning of this adventure!

Lovingly,

P.S.

Updates may come slowly as I balance writing with my studies and other commitments. Rest assured, I'm committed to bringing you the best chapters as quickly as possible.
