Welcome to the World of My Stories!

I'm Bedő Éva. I write.

In fact, I've been writing for almost as long as I can remember.

Writing was already part of my life back in my school days. Sometimes it took the form of a complicated poetry analysis, sometimes a story that simply came to life on the pages of a notebook. When I was young, I spent two months in Germany on an adventure that began as a not particularly successful attempt at babysitting. What I brought home from that time were poems.

Then came the stories. Later, the novels. And one day, I realized that the stories never seemed to run out.

The original ideas behind many of my books were born years ago. Some waited patiently for their time to come, while others kept returning, reminding me that I still had something to do with them. Meanwhile, life went on, and writing had to share my time with everything else.

For a very long time, my husband has been telling me that one day I should finally put everything else aside and devote myself entirely to writing.

I think that day has finally arrived.

I've now reached the point where I want to dedicate every spare moment to the one thing that has accompanied me throughout my life: stories.

And something rather wonderful is happening.

Whenever I finish and put the final touches on a novel that has lived inside me for years, I don't feel an emptiness afterward. Quite the opposite. It's as though, by letting one story go out into the world, I make room for another. New characters arrive, new worlds open up, and new stories ask to be told.

Perhaps that's why I could never define myself by a single literary genre.

I write about women and men, families, love, loss, and new beginnings. I write fairy tales and unusual stories, exploring other times and other worlds. And some of my books came to me in an entirely different way. They hold thoughts and teachings that make me feel more like someone recording them than their author.

Each one is different.

And yet, somewhere within each of them, there is a part of me.

On this website, I'd like to bring together everything I've created so far, along with everything still to come. Books, fairy tales, stories — and perhaps a little of the journey I'm taking along the way.

Because now, as I send these stories out into the world, one after another, some of which have waited inside me for years, I feel something more strongly than ever:

as though my life is finally coming into its own.

And if, in one of my books, you find a character, a thought, a sentence, or simply a feeling that makes you stop for a moment, then the story is no longer mine alone.

From that moment on, a little piece of it belongs to you, too.

I'm glad you're here.
