My Background in a Nutshell

I was born in Moscow, Russia. My love for books started when I was 8 years old. I went to my girlfriend's house to play, and when I got there, I saw her reading and actually enjoying it. I could not believe my eyes – why on Earth would she be passing the time reading if her parents weren't home to make her? This was so shocking and fascinating to me that I just had to go and try it myself. So I went home, picked a book off the shelf, and fell in love with reading.

Fast forward a couple of years – I made it to Moscow State University and was enjoying being a math major. My fifth and final year at the University was approaching, and I couldn't imagine life without studying so I continued my education and enrolled in post-graduate school. My spare time was spent doing the things I loved – designing and sewing clothes as well as doing all sorts of crafts. I worked for a couple of years and truly loved my work. Then I moved to the States and began my new career as a graphic/website designer. I currently live in California with my most wonderful husband and two sons. I adore my kids. They ARE the brightest jewels in my life!

I feel so blessed by the people who have come into my life – people who teach me to love, to appreciate life, to enjoy every breath I take, to work hard; people who expand my horizons; and people who really do care about me. It was them who inspired me to write and create these collections and for that I am grateful.

I always look forward to my free time so I can let my mind go and dream up these tales. I fantasize about romance and love – you will experience it in my One-Cup Stories. I love nature, learning, traveling, books, movies, sports, good laughs, creation and design and so many other things!

One-Cup Stories Collections are suitable for adults, and Stories-out-of-Backpack or Backpack Stories are written for children from 2 to 6 years old, most of my stories are written in Russian and then translated into English.
