From the moment I first held a book in my hands, I knew that stories had the power to transport us to worlds beyond imagination. As a child, I spent endless hours immersed in books filled with adventure, distant lands, and extraordinary dicoveries. My love for literature has always been deeply influenced by the timeless works of Hans Christian Andersen, Mark Twain, and classic fairy tales that sparked my imagination.

For years, I carried the dream of writing a book of my own—one that would inspire others just as I had been inspired. To me, writing is more than just storytelling; it is a way to share my thoughts on universal values, personal growth, and the magic of self-discovery.

Born in Bulgaria and now based in London, I have walked many paths in life, but it was only at the age of 50 that I finally decided it was time to bring my lifelong dream to reality. The idea for *The Dino-Mights* was born during a playful moment with a little friend. We had two dinosaur toys—one became Larry, the other Terry. And then I thought, they can't be on their own. Soon, their world expanded, growing into a vibrant ecosystem of characters, each with their own personality, challenges, and strengths.

However, *The Dino-Mights* is more than just a book series. It is a reflection of my personal journey. I was adopted as a baby, hidden from the world, and considered an unwanted secret in my biological family. Though I was later given a loving home and every opportunity to thrive, the weight of that early rejection followed me. It wasn’t until I embarked on a journey of self-discovery—one that coincided with a deeply difficult period in my life—that I found healing through my writing. Through *The Dino-Mights*, I was able to embrace my past, hold hands with the child I once was, and walk with her toward a future of understanding and self-worth.

This series was initially created for children who are just beginning their independent reading journey, but as I wrote, I realized that the themes within *The Dino-Mights* speak to people of all ages. Adults who may have lost touch with their inner child will also find echoes of their own journey within these pages. *The Dino-Mights* is a story about adventure, resilience, and the magic of growth. It is a series that invites every reader to embark on their own journey of self-exploration.

Recently, I have also begun a new chapter-illustrating my own characters. It’s a thrilling and personal journey, as I believe no one understands the soul of the Dino-Mights better than the one who created them. Learning to illustrate has become a joyful extension of the storytelling process, allowing me to breathe life into each character with every line and colour.

Now, writing and illustrating go hand in hand, shaping a world that geows with every page.

I no longer allow self-doubt or fear to hold me back. I am here, embracing my path, and I want to invite you all to join me in this adventure. Let’s explore, learn, and grow—together.
