A Storytelling Project Rooted in Magic, Memory, and Place
Welcome to Forest of Whispers, a creative world I’ve been quietly tending for years—one part storybook, one part soul project. What began as a bedtime tale scribbled in a journal has grown into a whimsical children’s book series, complete with character-driven storytelling, a companion website, and a slowly unfolding world of magic, memory, and meaning.
At the heart of the project is Clara Elderwyn, a curious and courageous young girl who stumbles upon a secret hidden deep in the woods. With a mysterious locket as her guide and a cast of enchanting creatures as companions, Clara’s story explores the unseen threads that tie us to nature, to family, and to the past.
As the author and creative director behind Forest of Whispers, I’ve developed every element—from story arcs and character voice to visual branding and in-world content. The project combines my love of lyrical prose with my background in marketing, audience engagement, and thematic storytelling.
This is more than a book—it’s a world. One that lives across platforms through interactive social content, cozy recipes, and forest folklore that invite readers of all ages to linger a little longer.
