My Second Letter

August 2026

Dearest gentle reader (yes, I am definitely borrowing this from Lady Whistledown),

  • In the last few weeks, I have been diligently working on improving my website, and I hope you like the pictures in the Travel and Essays section.
  • Lately, most of my time has gone into what I hope will be the final round of edits on my new book.
  • I am having difficulties finding a literary agent for that book, but I want to share with you some blurbs about it.
  • Picking up right where the first book left off, this next chapter reunites readers with favorite characters Gabby and Emma for an exciting new adventure.
  • With Emma, her loyal companion by her side, Gabriella keeps discovering more about herself as she faces new challenges and surprises. On her travels, Gabby uncovers old secrets, faces her fears, and forms new, meaningful connections. The story is filled with vivid scenes and heartfelt moments, making it a memorable journey of emotion and personal growth.
  • Gabby is preparing to travel to new countries, meet new people, face challenges, and build strong relationships.
  • There will be many new and interesting characters joining the story.
  • Threaded with rich themes of family, celebration, and friendship, while also giving an interesting look at traditional Bulgarian superstitions about pregnancy, childbirth, and raising children.

I'm looking forward to sharing this new book with you. I think it offers a much deeper look into Gabby's life.

Warmly,

Desislava Kaludova
