Introducing Nancy's New Book, now available for pre-orders

The Story Behind Milagros and the Golden Light

Nancy Orlen Weber began writing as a child — and never truly stopped. Stories, art, imagination, always waiting for the right moment to bloom.

In February 2026, while painting on Procreate, one of Nancy’s ink drawings suddenly seemed to whisper, “Look at me.” It is one of about 300 scanned ink drawings over 40+ years.

She listened.

Within three days, the story poured onto the page: Milagros and the Golden Light — a luminous tale of hope, renewal, connection, and the quiet magic that can grow from even the smallest spark of light. She shared it with teachers, one of whom said:

“I would love to read this to children. It’s beautiful for young listeners and meaningful for adults too.”

Nancy believes the heart of Milagros speaks to readers of all ages — from young dreamers to grown-ups longing to reconnect with wonder.

Nancy painted many of the original elements herself: the plants, seeds, magical beings, and pieces of the enchanted world within the story. Some scenes came easily. Others asked for something more.

That’s when she reached out to someone she deeply trusted — Alexandra Romanova.

Alexandra first came to Nancy for mentoring. Over the course of a year, mentorship blossomed into friendship. Together they completed the illustrations. Alexandra added luminous depth, beauty, and visual magic to the world of Milagros and the Golden Light.
