Saplings Growing With Love — my novel and everything that grew out of it

I am Murat Demir. Sevgiyle Büyüyen Fidanlar — “Saplings Growing With Love” — is my novel, and this site is where everything that grew out of it lives: the memory forests I dream of, the seed card, the flowers I raise, and the notes I keep along the way.

I write in Turkish, so the whole story lives on the Turkish side of this site. In English you will find my Terms of Use and Legal Notice and my contact form, which reaches me directly.
