Double Gold Success:
My Journey at The Novellae Awards

Timeless Miracles explores six extraordinary Chinese antiques in English and Traditional Chinese, while The Art & History of Violin Cases delves into the craftsmanship and legacy behind some of the world’s most remarkable violin cases. Both works reflect my passion for history, artistry, and cultural storytelling.
