Ronesa Aveela is “the creative power of two.” Two authors, that is. Under this name, they write nonfiction and children's stories. Under the name R.N. Aveela, they've begun a journey into adult fantasy fiction.

Nelly was born in Eastern Europe, a land brimming with superstitions and legends, where even shadows tell tales. She moved to the U.S. in the 1990s, bringing with her enchanting tales of her homeland. When not weaving words, she paints and eats chocolate. Nelly is married, a proud mother of two, and an avid pet lover, sharing her home with a beloved rescued cat.

Rebecca, a lifelong New Englander, has a professional background in publishing. She comes from a family of avid readers. Anyone visiting her childhood home felt as if they were entering a library. She's fascinated with folklore, which fuels her writing. When she's not deep in the world of magic and mystery, you can find her baking sweet treats.

Together, their books open a door to a world filled with fascinating creatures inspired by the magic of Bulgarian, Thracian, and Slavic mythology.

Fantasy and mythology lovers know about elves, gnomes, goblins, and other such creatures. But what does the world, the western world, know about the creatures that haunt the lands of Eastern Europe? Have you heard of Kikimora, Lamia, Zmey, and Baba Yaga? And have you ever heard the Thracian version of the immortal Orpheus? Ronesa is here to enchant you with that world.

Welcome to a picturesque Bulgarian village, where cozy houses lean close together and clay-tiled roofs glow beneath the sun.

Wander along cobblestoned streets filled with birdsong and the scent of freshly baked bread. Watch Kukeri dance through the village with ringing bells to chase away unseen spirits, or pause at the square as a horo dance gathers neighbors hand in hand. Every page invites you to slow down and step into a living memory.

This illustrated art book blends descriptive storytelling and hand-drawn artwork, creating an immersive journey through Bulgarian folklore and village life. The drawings are inspired by heritage, childhood memories, and the stories passed down by grandparents—moments remembered not as history, but as feeling.

Take your time with this book. Let the images and words guide you gently through a place shaped by tradition, imagination, and quiet magic. May this walk through a Bulgarian village become a cherished memory of your own.
