Dragi vsi .../ Dear all...

Kje si?, ponatis

Sladka novica. Že nekaj časa urejamo, pripravljamo in se veselimo. Januarja namreč izide malce posodobljen ponatis brezbesedne knjige 𝙆𝙟𝙚 𝙨𝙞? pri Miš založba. Krasil jo bo imeniten ovojni trak z dosedanjimi dosežki, ki se jih je skozi leta nabralo kar nekaj. In prav vseh sem neizmerno vesela. Hvala celotni ekipi za to zgodbo, ki se je razvila tako nenačrtovano in presegla vsa moja pričakovanja: Anže Miš, urednici Gaji Kos, oblikovalcu, ki tehnično izpili knjige, ki jih ilustriram Žiga Valetič, moji agentki Allison, Stimola Literary Studio, ekipi Chronicle Books založbe in vsem, ki z nakupom podpirate naš trud in ustvarjanje. HVALA!

It's a busy end of the year. In January, a reprint of the wordless book 𝙆𝙟𝙚 𝙨𝙞? will be published by Miš Publishing. We've been editing and preparing it for some time. The cover will feature a list of all the amazing achievements we’ve accomplished over the years, and I’m so proud of each and every one of them. Thanks to the whole team for this story, which has developed so unplanned and exceeded all my expectations: to Anže Miš, to the editor Gaja Kos, to the designer Žiga Valetič, to my agent Allison, Stimola Literary Studio, the Chronicle Books team, and to all of you who support our efforts and creativity with your purchases. THANK YOU!

Finding Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a powerful step when we want to grow up in our relationships. Do we see it in our lives or our world today? Are we courageous enough to step in and be an example? Everything begins with us. Every change starts from within.

In 2025, my book Finding Forgiveness will be released at Chronicle Books. The whole team was so supportive during my creative process. I must give thanks to my editor, Ariel Richardson! And I'm so pleased with how the story and the book turned out. We put so much heart into it. 

And look what I got today by mail! It made my day much brighter. Yes!

I'm happy to inform you that pre-orders of Finding Forgiveness are available:

Good luck, dear Froggies! I hope the readers will enjoy your company!
