NAME CHANGE! When I started writing and later signed with an agent, I had to decide what name to use. Since Marieke can be harder internationally (I’m Dutch), I decided to use my first name instead. From now on I’m annes_mesmerizing_books on my socials, and I’m writing under the name Anne du Pré.

THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS X AND NOW, BACK TO YOU #Questpit, welcome to BREAKING THE BLUEPRINT, an 84k word contemporary romance. Rival Architects on the verge of burnout exploit a company policy to work remotely across the country together, putting their rocky foundation to the test. #Q #R #A

This picture is a mood board for the romance book, “Breaking the Blueprint.” The general vibe is enemies to lovers with elements of the NYC architecture industry culture and shifts to the small town feel of Colorado mountains. The main character is a redhead woman with freckles and brown eyes and the main love interest is a brunette man with blue eyes. The images show them getting close through dancing in the kitchen at night, playing in the snow together, and nights out on the town.

A mood board for Wound Up. From left to right:
Top row: closeup of two men’s arms and hands which are clasped; a quote reading AND HE LOOKED AT ME, LIKE THERE WAS SOMETHING IN ME WORTH LOOKING AT; a dark haired man and a light haired man embracing.
Middle row: two people holding their hands up to a fogged up rainy car window. One is forming half a heart. The other is raising a middle finger. A peg board in a local yarn store showcasing skeins of yarn. A quote that says “him. Ah, there he is. That motherfucker.”
Bottom row: a white hand with a plain black asexual ring on the middle finger. A text message conversation that reads “I’m bisexual but I hate everybody. So more like. Byesexual.” A white hand featuring chipped black nail polish.
