‎🌿I'm turning a page...  

‎From long days in newsrooms and longer nights on the road. From desert border posts to mist-heavy harbors, from the backstreets of Marrakech to the mountain edges of Tibet - I wrote what the world needed to know.

‎But now? Now, this is a new chapter of me, I write what I need to feel.

‎No more interviews with dignitaries or diplomats.

‎No more chasing headlines.

‎The stories I tell now don't answer to urgency ❤️

‎Quick reads, short ones, long tales that linger...

‎Historical Fiction. Fantasy. Fairytale Retellings. Romance, romance... and yes - more romance 💋

‎They are for those who travel by sentence, who collect Visas for footsteps in fiction, who sit quietly in the shade with a book that breathes.

‎Here's a warm little corner for you, right here within these pages, you'll find characters you love irrevocably 🌹

‎To those who walk these pages with me, and those who follow, I'm AY - keeper of rare tales, devourer of old manuscripts, and sworn scribe of stories inked not for frenzy nor for fame, but for the gentle breeze in the shade 🌴

‎Halora, and welcome! 💋
