Ready to be transported in time? 🎙️✨

I’m thrilled to share that I sat down with the fascinating author Bordás Róbert for the latest episode of my podcast!

📖 Who is Bordás Róbert?
A Hungarian author writing in both Hungarian and English, based in Brno, Czechia. He brings history to life through deeply personal stories.

✨ Why his work is unique:
He writes gripping historical novels in English that are inspired by his own family’s saga, set in North America between 1870 and 1910. His work is a must-read for anyone interested in the Hungarian immigrant experience, identity, and the untold stories of family histories.

📚 His Books:
• The Hand We Are Dealt (2022) – Based on his mother’s memoirs.
• Gilded Lies (2024) – Book 1 of a trilogy inspired by family fate.
• Tangled Ties (May 2025) – The hot-off-the-press sequel!

We delved into his creative process, the challenge of writing in a non-native language, and how family legends transform into epic novels.

This episode is perfect for book lovers, history buffs, and anyone curious about the stories that shape us.
