Wishing you all a beautiful weekend ❤️❤️❤️I’ve been off-grid while struggling through the process of polishing Jezebel’s Island. The manuscript is almost ready, I wrote a note for you. I would be honored to have you read it🙏
A Note to the Reader
As you open this book, you cross a threshold—stepping into a space dense with unspoken possibilities, where the horizon beckons with questions instead of certainties.
Jezebel’s Island is built on uncertainty. The ending greets you at the very start, and only by reading will you discover why. This novel plunges into the depths of consciousness, power, and surrealism. It’s a psychological thriller and mystery, a dystopian tale that refuses simple logic or straight lines. If you’re looking for a journey from A to B with a tidy conclusion at C, this is not your story. Instead, Jezebel’s Island unfolds in cinematic flashes, abrupt transitions, and fragmented scenes you must assemble yourself. You are one of the characters here; without you, the story cannot exist. Truth loops back on itself. In this realm of doubt, the molds of comforting tales begin to crack under the pressure of incomprehensible veils. The mountains become more than stone; they mark the border between two different worlds and the myth you’ll create for yourself.
You’ll wander through a maze of half-truths, with memory flickering like a weak lantern. The people you encounter—Jezebel, the architect of this puzzle; Lady Swartley, a woman of extremes; men weighed by their bloodlines; and Anastasia, who learns that understanding can break you—each wait for you to interpret what lies between their silences.
Notice the rhythm of the rain, the sudden chill of the sheets, the black-clad children slipping quietly through the scene, the Polo shirts of the men, the makeup of the women, swans drifting like ghosts over uneasy water. These are not merely details; they are the pulse of a world coming together and falling apart in the same moment.
Don’t expect a map. You are a co-investigator, exploring both the Island and the recesses of your mind. Here, you’ll be asked to listen to deception in language, question the source of every secret, and stand before the unknown.
Be mindful: what you find at the beginning may already be waiting for you at the end. The path you choose is yours alone, but know that once you breathe the island’s air, the City can never look the same.
Step into the mist. The investigation has begun.
