Lost (and found) in Translation Mt. Ararat Photo by Leyla Helvaci on Pexels.com There are moments when I sit at my computer, fingers hovering over the keyboard, searching for an English word that simply doesn't exist. How do you translate the Armenian word, "մարդկայինություն" (mardkayinutyun), into a fantasy novel? The closest English equivalent might be "humanity" or "humaneness," but it carries deeper layers, a profound sense of what it means to be truly, compassionately human in a way that embraces both individual dignity and collective responsibility.

A Search for Belonging Photo by Jou00e3o Bomfim Junior on Pexels.com Growing up, the question "Where are you from?" used to leave me speechless. Not because I didn't know the answer, but because I had too many answers and none of them felt complete. One particular memory replays in my mind like a movie stuck on repeat. It’s Saturday evening, and my family and I are at another Armenian cultural gathering.

Between Worlds: Why I write the Stories I Needed Photo by Paylak Araqelyan on Pexels.com I still remember the first time I found a book with an Armenian character in my local library. I was maybe twelve, scanning the shelves like I always did, not really expecting anything as I flipped through pages of books that looked interesting. Then it happened. I saw that name—unmistakably Armenian—and my heart actually jumped.

More Than Just a Meal: Food as Storytelling Magic Photo by ENESFu0130LM on Pexels.com When I'm building a fantasy world, I love discovering all the various cultural details that can bring a story to life. One of my absolute favorites is food. There's something magical about how a simple meal can reveal so much about characters, cultures, and the world they inhabit. In Light Weaver, I wove Armenian culinary traditions throughout the entire tale.

Through Our Mothers’ Eyes Deposit Photos: Young woman muse with creative body art and hairdo Strength passes from parent to child, and in our patriarchal society, it passes from mother to daughter like a sacred inheritance, but so does the shadow of trauma. For Armenians, like many other cultures, this legacy is both a blessing and burden carried forward through time. It flows through our blood, whispered in lullabies and shared over coffee cups filled with grounds that tell our fortunes.
