Stories

I write stories that explore memory, identity and the invisible threads connecting our lives.

Rhythm

Music and movement are more than themes in my novels. They are languages through which people reveal what words cannot.

Connection

Every story is an invitation—to listen, to understand, and to reach across the distances and borders that separate us.

THE NOVEL

Three to Tango

Paris, 2010. A volcanic ash cloud halts the world – and two strangers share a car ride that changes everything.

Three to Tango is a literary romance set against the legacy of the Balkan war. What begins as a journey across Europe soon becomes a search for truth, identity, and the courage to face the past.

Music and dance weave through the story, shaping its emotional rhythm as memory, love, and long-buried secrets collide.
