Valentin has always wanted a way to connect with people. They’ve always had a desire to be known completely and intimately. Believing part of their appeal is their obscurity, Mings wants readers to feel like being they’re being taken along on epic adventures.

Mings spends almost every moment of free time reading or writing. For someone who feels they have so many stories to tell, it can be overwhelming not to get them out. They hope to continue down this path, sharing stories and pieces of themselves with readers.

This is a dream that has been a long time coming, and it’s something Valentin hopes to continue doing. Publishing their debut memoir unlocked a forgotten passion, hopefully reading their works can unlock your own.
