BEDTIME STORIES FOR ADULTS
Before Your Dream is a collection of poetic bedtime stories for adults — written to slow the mind, soften the breath, and guide the listener gently toward rest.
Each story unfolds in stillness rather than urgency. There are no sharp turns, no rising tension — only quiet places, soft light, and the feeling of being carried somewhere calm. A lighthouse at dusk. A quiet garden under starlight. A room where time moves more slowly.
These stories are designed not to be followed, but to be experienced.
Read in a single sitting, or listened to as the day fades, they create a space where thought begins to loosen and the body settles naturally into rest.
The voice behind Before Your Dream is steady, warm, and unhurried — like someone speaking softly in a quiet room, where every word has space to breathe. This tone is consistent across all stories, forming a recognisable rhythm that invites stillness and familiarity over time.
Whether read or heard, each piece is part of a larger collection built around one purpose:
to help you step away from the noise of the day, and into something quieter.

FROM DRIZZLANDIA TO THE CITY OF CATS
Meet Millou, Bobby, and Lillith — three travelling cats who leave behind the damp corners of England in search of warmth, wonder, and a patch of Spanish sunlight to call their own.
What begins as a simple escape soon unfolds into something far greater.
Across winding roads, hidden alleyways, and vibrant cities, each stop becomes its own small adventure — a story shaped by local culture, unexpected encounters, and the quiet lessons found along the way. From the cobbled streets of York to distant shores across the world, the journey grows into a globe-spanning tale of curiosity, companionship, and discovery.
The 3 Gateros is a gentle, episodic series where every city holds a new story, every mistake leads to something meaningful, and every step brings them closer to the warmth they seek — even if they never quite travel in the right direction.
