✨ Big news! ✨



I just submitted To Love an Idol to the Wattys Awards!

Keep your fingers crossed for me! No matter what happens, I'm incredibly proud of this story and so grateful to everyone who has supported Hanna and Hyunwoo's journey so far.

If you haven't read it yet, now is the perfect time—the book is officially complete and 100% available online! 📚✨



And the adventure isn't over yet... the sequel will be coming very, very soon, hopefully within the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

Thank you again for every read, comment, vote, and message. Your support means the world to me, and I can't wait to share what's next with all of you. ❤️



Wish me luck! 🍀

It's OFFICIAL! Violet's Octagon is now available to read on GALATEA 📢🎉

AND, it's also available as an AUDIOBOOK. I'm so excited to share this revamped version with you guys.

Thanks for your support, as always!

I just unlocked the Galatea Author - Violet's Octagon badge! 🚀

2 BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS 📢📢📢


I’m trying something new: I’ve started posting a brand-new story here, chapter by chapter.


It’s a K-pop–inspired romance that leans into slow burn, longing, secrecy, and emotional tension — a different rhythm than what I usually write, but the same heart.


This story began its life very close to fandom spaces, and while it’s now fully fictional, true stans will probably recognize the inspiration. If you know, you know. 👀✨


It’s called To Love an Idol: A K-Pop Romance, and the first chapters are already up.


I’ll be updating every Tuesday & Friday 📅


If you like stories about fame, hidden connections, and feelings you’re not supposed to have... I think this one’s for you.

ANNDD for my Violet’s Octagon readers... 💜


VO is officially coming to Galatea on January 22nd 🔥


If you loved that story, I can’t wait for you to experience it in its new home.


Thank you for following me across genres and letting me explore different sides of romance. It truly means everything!

Hi all!

I have a few updates for you 🔔


1. I've recently reworked Aching for Adam: I wrote this book a long time ago, and my writing style has changed a lot since then. I hope you'll enjoy this new version just as much!

2. Also, Violet's Octagon is going to GALATEA, which is super exciting (!) but also means it won't be available here anymore. That being said, Built from Fire, my latest book, is now FREE to read here in its entirety. 🎉



Lastly, I'm currently writing a BTS fanfict inspired trilogy of a Kpop megastar falling in love with Hanna, a very ordinary girl on a work visa in Seoul; I'm really excited to launch it! Stay tuned for a few snippets, and follow me on Tiktok @michaelacastellobooks for updates!

📢 Author Update – I’m Back! ❤️



Hey everyone—
It’s been a while. Like, a long while. I haven’t published a book in years, and honestly? I wasn’t sure I’d ever find my way back here. But here I am—writing again, creating again—and it feels so good to be back.

I’ve missed sharing stories with you more than I can say. And now, after months (okay, years 😅) of silence, I finally have something new to offer.



🔥 Built from Fire 🔥 is my latest story—filled with tension, heat, messy emotions, and all the feels I love to write. The first few chapters are up now and completely free to read.

The rest of the book will be available through Inkitt’s subscription tier, because I’ve poured a lot of love, time, and energy into this one—and your support means everything. 🫶

Whether you read the free chapters or join me for the full ride, I’m so thankful you’re here.

This isn’t just a comeback—it’s a love letter to storytelling. And I’m so excited to share it with you again.



Much love,
M
