Amor Milagre Story Illustration Original Books and Art Self-Health Novelettes
When one book of characters packs up and travels to the printer’s, patient tales then perk up and peek at their faces and trees appearing on new deckled-edge papers on my desk, here in the library at Rose Cottage.
“That’s not what I look like! I’m a brunette…and I would never wear that! I’m from twenty years before that style,” they remind me.
“Ah, yes…right. Sorry. My hair colour has changed since we bumped into each other that day.”
So bossy, but…correct. “I’ll look it up.” They wear me out…
Amor Milagre Story Illustration Original Books and Art Self-Health Novelettes
For many years now, I’ve been constantly scribbling down stories, day and night. There are too many to release separately, so several volumes will release as quickly as I can compile them together in the shuffling groups as they were born. It’s only fair…
Empowering, meandering stories, belonging to my endless Self-Health Novelette book series, will begin to release in the years nearest you now.
I love writing them, then painting them up…but typing? No! Anything but typing…so this will take a bit.
Amor Milagre Story Illustration Original Books and Art Self-Health Novelettes
Not everyone will be displayed, as many of my characters are described in soulful adjectives, allowing the listener to imagine. I sit and paint with music, my darling husband reading to us…
If I can snag him, he’ll narrate some of my novels and children’s books in future. At least, I want his voice for roles that he inspired. After I release the newly illustrated Leona’s Homecoming, I’ll rerecord those four first books. Some of these watercolours will be available as fine art prints and stationery as well. Oh, so many joys to enjoy!

Germs are Germs. They affect every person differently. What may only bother you can most definitely kill a vulnerable person, like a baby’s mother. Sense people around you. Ask about their immune system levels. “How are you doing today?” can prevent catastrophes. Awareness is key. Take the best care to protect yourself and everyone by preventing the spread of germs. Care. Care about how germs work. Educate yourself on germs, illnesses, vaccines, remedies, and basic actions that can save lives. Do not spread germs when you can easily remove yourself from a place. Take basic safety precautions we already know and must really practice daily.
This is a very dangerous time in general. The medical care resources are not steady, predictable, available, or accountable. They never were, but now… Our countries need to care about taking care, about medicine, about science, and health warnings. It is hard enough to survive, and so if everyone is acting responsibly, empathically, and lovingly towards themselves and those around them, and the world as a whole, we each have a better chance at lessening our suffering and boosting our unique immune systems to begin healing. Only then can we build good health. Trust me, I am still waiting to live without pain, a preventable and severe pain. The day was not meant to be merely survived, but truly lived and loved.
*A person who goes to work, to the post office, anywhere…even someone at home who doesn’t tell anyone they’re sick, is not usually aware of how many people they have personally and directly endangered. How many people have you made sick, or even pushed to their death, unknowingly? Germs are Germs.
Take the Best Care of Everyone by Taking the Best Care of Yourself. Love, ~Amor Milagre
Amor Milagre Valentine’s Day Gift Guide 2025 amormilagre.com Stationery and New Wax Seal Stickers
There are many ways to express your love for yourself, your family and friends, and the universe. Here are a few ways I encourage peaceful, respectful living: loving stories, romantic stationery with old world charm, and nature-inspired artwork. This week, we’re making some Valentine’s Day decorations, and I’ll post about those soon.
All of my books are love letters. The Hoppy Bunny baby book and my seasonal novels, The Love Letter Diaries, are especially heartwarming. My beloved family of book characters spans all reading levels, so if your Valentine is new or growing with every year, there is a story for you.
A new collection of beautifully unique wax seal stamp stickers releases this week. Each design was drawn by hand with love, and every seal is patiently pressed into a growing variety of colours. The artisan aesthetic and feel of these little collector’s dreams are transformative. When holding one, or when tracing the raised leaves and curls, one feels swept back to a more natural time of ancient tree root systems and fresh air. Time travellers, you know, may not agree with many things of old, but they like to keep the most endearing trinkets of each age and hold them dear. I do not agree with many modern events either, but I put out as much timeless love with my work as the day (and night) will allow. (I write stories in the moonlight. I paint by the sunshine.) These collectable stickers seal your letters with a kiss of romance. I even place them on my book covers sometimes, when special orders come in. A new custom designed Amor Milagre Bunny sticker, embossed in gold or white, is now being added to the inside page of a wave of first edition books. These little touches will be fun to find now, and centuries from now, for book collectors of all ages. Babies absolutely love discovering these kinds of treasures, as do I.
My growing stationery collection greets some new designs this month. They promote the asking of dates to physical locations again. Even a friendly game is a fun way to get to know someone. A candlepin bowling card is on my printer as I type this. We tried it recently as a family date, and it was a blast!
All of my collections are intertwining and thriving together like a forest of grapevines and moon flowers. Many new books for babies, children, teens, and adults will be happily released this year. Each season going forward will boast a new packaging colour design. This winter was a deep delicious garnet paired with tarnished gold. Order your spring gifts now to find out which colours I chose for la primavera!
Stay well and warm. Much love and romantic inspirations for a happy heart, ~Amor Milagre

Amor Milagre Valentine’s Day Gift Guide 2025 amormilagre.com Loving Novels
The Loving Novels are explorations of the self. My characters include all love stories. Some of my favourite characters represent the LGBTQ lovelies. I am writing a sweet ode-style post about one such darling, releasing soon. My love stories are about real love. They are not the usual style of story, I think, because I’ve never read a book style like mine. Have you? These people, and their journeys, are from my heart. Being an empath, I absorb the world. People effervesce their love stories, silently, as they roam the earth, trying to heal themselves and find small ways to express their joy. Love means something different to everyone and at different stages of life. What does love mean to you now? Much of my characters’ adventurous narratives derive from my own inner world as well. I write of what I wish for the world, for myself, and for my family. My philosophy is, “If you design it, you will live it. Surround yourself with love.” I design beautiful stories and let their positive inspiration spill out into our home. What path and feeling do you wish to design in this moment? Dream, and let it be so!
Amor Milagre Valentine’s Day Gift Guide 2025 amormilagre.com Hoppy Bunny Baby Book
My children’s books are sweet and respectful. They honour the sacredness of childhood, the delicateness and intelligence of children’s innate loving natures, and the preservation of their kind hearts. My words teach all the basics of language while encouraging imagination, peaceful creative problem solving, and the celebration of individuality and universal connection. My illustrations are also available as art prints and stationery with many more pieces to come! In future, I have planned for puzzles, fine china, toys, and other pretty home and nursery gifts.

My books will soon be featured in many bookshops and libraries nationwide. I will make a stockist page for these venues when ready. You’ll be able to read my books in libraries and purchase them in bookshops all over the USA. I am beginning locally in Maine and New England, and then I’ll branch out. I might do some book signings and readings at local Maine libraries and bookshops. I’ll post about it here if I decide to do public events again. In future seasons, I’ll translate my books into several other languages and braille to sell in worldwide shops. Hardbacks, paperbacks, and audiobooks are available in my shop, as well as matching artwork and stationery. As always, I ship internationally from my online shop. I offer quick shipping options and use responsible materials. All products are ethically made in the USA. In the coming seasons, many new books will be released. I’m very excited to share these new loves! Check back for new treasuries, series, novels, and children’s books.
In the Spring, I deleted my company Instagram account as it wasn’t serving me, but I’ve come up with a plan for my new shop account. It will help you to view and purchase my collections easily. My Instagram name is amormilagre. I am also working on a new Etsy Shop. I started off with Etsy many years ago, and it did well in that creative community. My new Etsy shop will feature a special collection of my art, books, and stationery. Once ready, the link to the new shop will be added to this site.
On hot summer days, we make simply refreshing flavoured ice.
Sometimes mint or rosemary, often wild berry, and today…lavender!

Homeschool is lovely in the summer. Explore all things botanical in the garden, come in for a cold drink, and let the mind soak up beautiful latin names, fascinating plant uses, and charming origin stories. Nature is the best teacher.
A few fresh books will be finished this month, and then it’s off to the printers!
Stay cool. Love, ~ Amor Milagre
