Welcome to The Dusty Desk!

A quiet corner for curious minds and heartfelt stories.

Every story begins with a blank page — and sometimes, a bit of dust.

Library

From whimsical picture books to whatever comes next, The Dusty Desk is home to the creative works of author and storyteller Mia Holmes. While the shelves are just beginning to fill, each title is made with care — thoughtful, imaginative, and just a little bit unexpected.

FROM THE ARCHIVE

Not everything begins with a blank page.
Some stories start with a found object — a feather, a key, a burned-out candle. Below is a collection of six such fragments: visual footnotes to the projects housed here, each one a quiet spark in the dark.

Whether you’ve got a question, a collaboration in mind, or just want to say hello — send it through.

I read every message.
