When I tucked my daughter into bed, she whispered, “Daddy, check under the bed for monsters.”
I leaned down and saw her, staring back at me, wide-eyed, whispering, “Daddy, there’s someone on my bed.”

If I could travel to any fictional world, I’d choose the world of The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
I’d visit his tiny planet, sit beside his rose, and ask about the fox that taught him what it means to love. I’d walk with him across the stars, listening to his quiet wisdom about adults who forget how to see with their hearts. Maybe I’d even write down his unspoken stories, the ones he never had time to tell.
It’s a world that reminds us that gentleness and curiosity can survive even in loneliness, and that’s the kind of mystery I’d love to live inside.
What about you? If you could step into any fictional world, from magic to mystery to love, where would you go, and who would you want to meet there?

“The Voice Between Worlds.”
A tale about an unseen storyteller who helps people find meaning, guiding writers, dreamers, and healers — yet slowly begins to wonder: “Who am I beyond the words I create for others?”
It would be a quiet mystery, unfolding not through crimes or secrets, but through human connections, lost stories, and the search for identity in a world of endless voices.
Now I’m curious, if you turned a mystery from your life into a book, what would it be about?
