Our “Light Love Rituals” project has launched! This book holds a lot of memories for us, because it was in the early days of Nelly and me publishing together. So, we thought it was a good book to revise with more content and lots of lovely illustrations by Nelly’s friend and mentor. We are committed to helping promote artists. This is a book we’ll treasure, and we hope you feel the same.
We’d love your support on this passion project. You can find the campaign here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ronesa-aveela/light-love-rituals?ref=ag48jx.

Nelly and I are celebrating our 10-year anniversary in publishing in 2024, and we wanted to make this book special. It'll include expanded information on each of the 17 major holidays covered in the book.
Plus, many many new images from well-beloved Bulgarian artist Keazim Issinov, who was Nelly's mentor.
The book also includes some of Nelly's recipes and has activities for children. A book the entire family can enjoy.
We'd love for you to follow along and get notified when we go live. And, please, share the link with anyone you think might enjoy learning about Bulgaria.

The pre-launch link is now available for our DRAGON VILLAGE series: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ronesa-aveela/dragon-village.
This is a five-book coming-of-age, portal fantasy series set in the magical land of Zmeykovo, Dragon Village. This is the place in Bulgarian folklore where dragons, Samodivi, Rusalki, and all magical creatures live when they are not in the human world.
The protagonist is a 12-year-old boy named Theo, who sets off to rescue his sister, who has been captured by a fierce three-headed dragon. In Dragon Village, he meets many creatures from Slavic folklore and discovers secrets that have been hidden for ages…
This series is a little different from our non-fiction campaigns, but we hope it’s something else you will enjoy. Please share with others you think may want to take a trip to a magical land and meet strange new creatures.
We’re planning on launching the campaign in the September/October timeframe.
Thank you all so much. We hope you have a great rest of the summer (if you’re in the northern hemisphere) or a wonderful winter (for those in the southern hemisphere).
