Diana Aleksandrova

I was born and raised in the historical capital of Bulgaria, a charming old town where houses sit perched on a hill above a river. After graduating from college, I moved across the ocean in pursuit of the American dream. Little did I know that my dream did not reside in a certain country or even a continent but was all along within me.
It took me a while to start doing what gives me joy; creating stories that make kids and grown-ups, alike, open their minds to the impossible, marvel or laugh.
Books are our tickets to adventures. They let us discover and explore fascinating places, and join charming heroes, crooked villains, and magical creatures through unforgettable journeys.

B.C. Stephan

When B.C. was a kid, the only thing he didn’t want to do was write. And if you mentioned the word grammar, he would disappear before you could finish your sentence. In fact, instead of using a pencil for writing, he would spin a basketball on top of it. Luckily, B.C. developed a passion for writing when he began learning new languages, often writing stories in Spanish, then translating them to English.

While learning Chinese, and teaching English in China, B.C. realized that kids are more engaged when they are reading something interesting. Wow! What a concept. In order to learn languages and write books that kids would enjoy at the same time, B.C. decided to feed two birds with one hand by writing his first chapter book in Spanish. This is
