I spent much of my childhood with my grandparents in the Romanian countryside, where old traditions still shaped everyday life. The elders in my village and especially my great-grandparents shared stories that had been passed down through generations. I grew up hearing about deochi, the evil eye that could bring misfortune, and Sânziene, when young women would weave flower crowns and toss them onto the roof of their homes to glimpse their romantic future. They spoke of wandering spirits, protective rituals, hidden beings in the forests, and the superstitions that remained woven into daily life.

Those stories sparked a lifelong curiosity. As I grew older, I devoured books on Greek and Egyptian mythology, eager to discover the gods, heroes, and legends of other civilizations. Before long, that fascination expanded to the myths of Mesopotamia, the Norse world, the Slavs, the Celts, and many other ancient cultures.

Today, I write books that bring mythology, folklore, and ancient civilizations to modern readers. My goal is to make these remarkable stories engaging, accessible, and enjoyable while respecting the cultures that gave birth to them. I hope my books inspire the same sense of wonder that I felt as a child listening to stories from those who had inherited them through generations.
