I’m M. Bauwens, and I write suspense, mystery, and psychological thrillers about secrets, obsession, betrayal, and the truths people try hardest to bury.

My books are not published yet, but they are no longer just ideas in a notebook. They are completed drafts now moving through beta reading, editing, and preparation for release.

Right now, I’m focused on three completed drafts: The Man She Dreamed, Before She Was Mine, and The Toe Tag Killer.

Each book is in a different stage of beta reading, notes, revision, and editing. This is the part of the process where stories get sharper, characters become more layered, and the secrets buried in the pages start to show their real shape.

This page is where I’ll share updates about my books, what I’m editing, what I’m learning from beta readers, and what is coming next.

You may see behind-the-scenes notes, release updates, early reader opportunities, cover reveals, character details, and the occasional glimpse into the messy middle of getting a book ready for readers.

If you enjoy suspense, mystery, psychological tension, complicated characters, and stories where everyone may be hiding something, you’re invited to follow along.
