I first met Mister Starley while traveling in the Netherlands, and it was love at first sight. His charming stories resonated with me in a way that felt deeply personal.
Behind this wonderful character is Jelmar Starkenburg, a creative mind with a passion for storytelling. We connected instantly, and as we talked, I learned that Mister Starley was originally inspired by Jelmar’s travels across Latin America. As a Costa Rican, I knew right away how important it was to make these stories accessible to Spanish-speaking readers.
Many of my friends don’t speak English fluently, and I wanted them to experience the magic of Mister Starley’s adventures just as I had. That’s why I encouraged Jelmar to bring his stories to Spanish—and now, I’m thrilled to be part of making that happen!
If you love short stories, travel, and adventure, you’re in for a treat. Stay tuned for Mister Starley’s Spanish debut!
