10 years ago, on this day, this firstborn was a newborn.
Truly grateful to the incredible Ocelotos Editions for making these ‘stars’ a ‘truth’ in that summer of 2014 *indispensable pun for this novel’s lovely readership*

It certainly has been a journey, navigating both in the increasingly dystopian ‘real world’ and the aspiringly utopian one of The Age of Stones.
Celebrating this birthday, I invite you to stay tuned for a related, bookish surprise in the upcoming months.

The past few years in the ‘real world’ have been a journey of its own for me, with profound losses but also with unexpected gains. Therefore, carrying on with the next installment of The Age of Stones saga may be happening at an unavoidably slow pace, but that doesn’t change that it IS happening. Until then, I am working on the 2nd and revised edition of Hydranos.

At which point, I am thinking, what is the ‘real world’ anyway? If anything, it should at least be a place where being our authentic selves does not equal undoing the same right of all others.
Keep reading about better worlds, keep dreaming of a better world–and help make it happen.

The Greek edition of Hydranos is out of print, but you can get the English one here as your next summer read!
