Some people write thinking of their readers. I write to create worlds and immerse myself in them. It’s the ultimate act of escapism. That’s why I’m so obsessed with all aspects of my books, from the writing, to the the way they look. For me, a book is not a mash up of different arts. The cover is not separate from the text. The drop caps are not chosen by a designer who has nothing to do with the story. The title hasn’t been mangled by a marketing team who decided to target some homogenous group of people that exist only in their pity minds. This is a solid project. You can’t dissect it in replaceable parts. It’s a standalone artwork. Love it or hate it.

They say history is made by great individuals, but anyone who has ever studied it knows that’s just an excuse, so the masses can absolve themselves from responsibility.

“It is unfortunate that the mistakes of the parents are so easy to spot, while those of the children are yet to be committed.”

—Yanko Tsvetkov, Codex Hyperboreanus, p. 19

“Love, my dear, is the opium of the masses, and once people get high on it, they will trample you like wild horses.”

—Yanko Tsvetkov, Codex Hyperboreanus, p. 10

“On her fifteenth anniversary, she lined up her thirty six dolls and beheaded them with a single swing, proudly announcing the end of her childhood.”

— Yanko Tsvetkov, Codex Hyperboreanus, p. 9

“It is said that when lovers are meant for each other, the gods take special care to match all the curves of their bodies, so when they join, they become one, and it is not possible to see when one body ends and another begins.”

—Yanko Tsvetkov, Codex Hyperboreanus, p. 5

“There lived on the island of Severia a queen that was vicious and dastardly…” . — Codex Hyperboreanus

One word: tired. And also stressed, irritable, impatient, pissed off, etc. The moments before the final strokes are the most difficult. Errors keep popping out. Of course the icing on the cake is reserved for all the insecurities that decide to pay me a visit, just as I’m approaching the finish line. Why am I doing this? Is there a point to it? Am I an impostor? Do I even have talent? All these ridiculously subversive questions… Sure enough, by now I’ve learned how to deal with all this crap. I’ll just wait it out and keep on moving, eyes locked on the target. But it’s still exhausting. Like a slow moving bus on the way home. You know you’re going to get there but man, can the driver give it a little nudge!

The Mechanics of Love • Codex Hyperboreanus • I’m not going to explain this (apart from giving up the title) because I want to avoid spoilers for my book. Like the previous one, it’s going to contain some black and white illustrations. Curious? You can preorder it on Amazon and Apple Books. We’ll talk again when it comes out :)

“A tyrannical queen rules the island of Severia with an iron fist, while her loyal vizierienne is determined to persuade her that in the art of government and politics, it is better to be loved than feared.”

“The steaks are high. Those who challenge the views of the trigger-happy monarch often perish in terrifying circumstances. Some fall down the stairs of the palace. Others die strangled by their own intestines. The most daring offenders are publicly beheaded by the queen’s trusted headswoman, Esther. She is a talented executioner whose fame spreads as far as the kingdom of Cynocephalia, inhabited by dog-headed people. Its ruler, King Anubis II, is an obsessive-compulsive bureaucrat who follows the letter of the law with religious vigor…”
