What if nothing ever really ends?
Would you like to know the story?
Not so serious short story.
My life was fine. Not really boring, but fine. Alarm clocks worked. Bills got almost paid. Nobody talked to ghosts. Then I met him — a dog. Not just any dog. The kind of dog that makes you cancel plans and question your emotional attachment to humans. My dog. My best friend. My everything. And then ... he was gone. Like life had just ripped out a page and rewritten it badly. But something didn’t sit right. The accident felt strange. Off.
Then, in the middle of my grief spiral, I heard something.
Not barking.
Not howling.
A magical message. From the afterlife.
(Yep. Told you this got weird.)
This is the story of what happens when love refuses to die.
And when a dog becomes more than just a pet —
he becomes a messenger.
The Book.
A story about searching for lost love and mourning that has no timeline. A story about exploring and discovering the (un)known. A story about faith and never-ending hope that takes us to the spiritual world of the afterlife. A straightforward story about ups and downs, as is true of life itself, from which we can learn a lot. Perhaps many will not be able to identify with this story, but for those who understand this connection, love, and longing or sorrow, it is a ray of hope in difficult times that, to quote Rumi, “this too shall pass”. If something is destined for us, it will find us, regardless of the obstacles that life throws in our path.
“Those who don’t believe in magic
will never find it.”

About me.
Mia. I’m a graphic designer by profession and a writer by passion because my brain refuses to shut up. I mostly write humorous stories — the kind that make you laugh, cringe, and question my mental stability (in a good way).
This particular book, though? A bit of an emotional curveball. Less comedy club, more “crying while walking your dog and questioning reality”. But don’t worry — it still has sarcasm, plot twists, and a talking dog. Obviously.
I love sitting on a bar terrace with a cold beer in hand, my dog curled up next to me, while I watch people stroll by and imagine what their homes look like inside. It’s a harmless obsession — a mix of people-watching and secret interior design fantasies. I adore interiors, truly. But let’s be honest: I’m probably not becoming an interior designer in this lifetime. That would require a whole new personality.
I love astrology. I mean, what’s not to love about blaming the stars for your weird behavior? I’m a Capricorn with Aquarius rising, which means I’m an ambitious overthinker who also believes the universe sends signs through dogs and beer foam.
What people said.
Ales G.
“I read the book in two days. That has never happened to me before. Very interesting, incredible! – even though I believe … it really gave me a lot to think about. Until now, I’ve always said that I only believe in what I can see.”
Tina G.
“In my life, I have never read a book – and I’ve read plenty – that is as full of love as Do prihodnjic. Even someone who is completely emotionally numb cannot remain indifferent while reading it. Tears flow, whether during happy or sad moments, and every scene fills and opens the heart. By the time you finish it, you are no longer the same — it changes you.
Mia lifts the veil on the invisible world, which is in fact much more real than the physical one we see every day. This story truly needed to come into the light — for the author herself and for all of us, so that we may understand more deeply that love is infinite and that there is so much more than just the material world our basic senses can perceive. It is the heart that knows — if only we listen to it.
My dear, thank you so much for this divine work of literature. You have given the world such a tremendous gift. The first edition sold out in just a few days. That says it all. The world really needs this book.”
Ursa P.
“Great book!!! Truly captivating. Today my kids were just doing their own thing because I spent the whole day lying on the couch reading. I had planned to save it for the beach, but I couldn’t wait.”
Sasa I.
“Insanely good! I’m devouring it … and crying.”
Helena Z.
“A beautiful book, read in one breath. I’m so grateful it found its way to me. Thank you for sharing such a touching story. I cried like rain, I laughed, and most of all, I felt it so deeply. Please keep writing.”
Mateja T.
“I read the book in one breath! I couldn’t put it down … Never in my life have I read a book in a single day! Thank you from the heart for letting us be part of such a beautiful, stunning, emotional, and heartbreaking story. Now I understand EVERYTHING! Your writing is unbelievably beautiful — so easy to read, just perfect! I have never read a more beautiful book in my life! This book truly deserves to be read. It will not leave anyone indifferent! Such a powerful book!”

“Insanely good book, congratulations!”
Spela V.
“I devoured it. I must admit, it shook me. It shook me because I know you — but not in such an emotional way. Truly moving.”
Vesna S.
“I finished it … I just had to, because I was simply too curious. Craaazy! Hats off to you! Everything you’ve been through! Thank you for writing straight from the heart. In my eyes, you’re a queen.”
Sabina F.
“Thank you for letting me into your world. I honestly can’t remember ever finishing a book before, but I read yours on vacation in just two days. I was so curious and captivated … Amazing, phenomenal! … and what a beautiful weaving of all the events that lead to such a lovely and happy ending! My respect! I absolutely loved it!”
Zinka L.
“I read your book at the seaside, in just one day. I cried along the way, just like you did while searching for your Poncho. A wonderful book, with a beautiful story. I find it fascinating that someone notices such unique life signs. There are so many coincidences that connect me to you — absolutely crazy! Thank you for sharing your story with all of us.”
Tjasa R.
“Wow … so many things can happen to a person! But where there’s a will, there’s a way!”
Jelka S. C.
“My dear, you have given the world a part of yourself without any pretense or artificial twists — which usually make a book more readable. I read it in one breath, rejoicing and crying along with you. Thank you for this wonderful experience.”
