I write when I feel the story, when I can’t think of anything else-just the words transforming into sentences, filling my brain until I cannot sleep. I do not have a particular plan or schedule. Three more are coming this year and a few more will be published in the near future. Since then, I have published five children’s books. Throughout my school years, I wrote many short stories and poems in both Ukrainian and Russian. I have been writing since I learned to hold a pen. How long have you been writing? How long did it take to write your book? And what motivated you to write it?


Let’s see where my restless imagination takes me. I am presently working on my first novel, The Chinese Princess, and a short story, A Taste of Bread. I also like to write short stories for adult readers. Children easily connect to imaginary characters and often see themselves or their behavior from a different perspective. I do not think that mixing two genres confuses young readers. It also helps them better connect to the surrounding world and care for our younger friends, the animals. They also show young readers the beauty and power of nature and help them learn about the true meaning of friendship and family. I twist true events with unrealistic characters, which teach children to conquer problems, build self-esteem, and overcome challenges in their lives. I think these two styles describe my books best. I often mix realistic fiction with modern fantasies.

A good story always finds its place and reader. When I write, I never think into what genre my story will fit. How would you describe your books? Do you write in more than one genre? What are they? D agrees with me when I say that books can be the best friend of a child.Įnjoy this interview and don’t forget to download a copy of her charming book “ The Trees Have Hearts.” which is available on Amazon. Every download will make more children aware of the wonders of reading. It’s important that we teach our children to read and I think I’m safe when saying that MRS. She brought with her some wonderful ideas about children’s books and the desire to write them. is an award-winning children’s author who moved from the Ukraine to the United States of America. I want to share this interview with you all. Something Special For Your Children And Grandchildren!
