About the author of the blog

 

My dear readers! I want to warn you that you are on the page of a person who likes to write a lot. A lot, but I hope it's interesting. And if reading doesn't scare you, but instead entices you, then this page is for you. Welcome!

I was born in Russia and have lived there for 40 years. I've loved reading books since I was a child and only recently started writing books. Actually, I've always written, but it was my hobby "for the desk drawer". In December 2022, my husband and I moved to Brazil. The change of country was the impetus for me to pursue something I had loved all my life, but which I didn't consider serious enough to be my main achievement.

For more than 20 years, I've worked in graphic design, tirelessly creating different layouts: postcards, business cards, calendars, posters, banners, stickers, signs, magazine layouts, books and catalogs. Did I suddenly regret changing the job I'd been doing for so many years? No. When I told myself that the time was coming for a big change in my life, I didn't regret it.

I opened my huge dusty trunk and began to take out what I had kept in it for decades of my life. When you start from scratch at 40, you're always torn between two feelings: the thirst for adventure and new discoveries and the fear that everything in life is already fucked. But at the same time, it's a great age to start something consciously. It's as if you're at the top of a mountain you've been climbing since you were born. You've come a long way. And, as is usually the case with mountains, this isn't the only peak. The mountain range is like the long spine of an ancient dinosaur, with peaks and depressions and ancient scales. You can stay on the summit, because that's good enough. You can start descending - and that too is a journey. And you can go even further up the mountain range.

The letters that appear on the white screen with the help of my keyboard and my ten nimble fingers are the best therapy for me. The best way for me to express my thoughts, to feel my power. And the power of words. It's always been like this, but only now am I mature enough to tell the world and the universe about it.

My observations, my fantasies, my dreams, my thoughts, my ideas - everything is woven into a pattern of narratives. I offer you my creativity, my work, my arena of expression. Walk this path with me for exactly as long as it takes you. Let's go!

My second short story was published, "I Met Lilith."

Published my second book in the   Mystery Stories   series on the amazon platform.

As usual, it is available in four languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian. Russian version I was inspired by a trip my husband and I took to the Mediterranean coast in Turkey, where the idea for this book was born. It was there that the first chapters were written, which happened in September 2022. A little bit about the story Danil lives in a Turkish town by the Mediterranean Sea.

Recipe "Olivier" salad (Russian salad)

   Olivier salad is the main dish at Russian New Year's dinners. The history of this salad began around 1860. Chef Lucien Olivier, who worked in a Russian restaurant in Moscow, created this recipe. The salad became very popular with customers. With food shortages during the 1917 revolution, the salad recipe was greatly simplified. And so it found its way onto all the tables of the Russian people. Ingredients: 3-4 potatoes; 1 carrot; 1-2 chicken eggs; 100 g green peas; 3-4 pickles; 200-300 g ham green onions; mayonnaise to taste. Potatoes and carrots should be cooked in their skins. Also boil the eggs until they are hard. If you haven't canned peas, but have frozen peas, they should also be boiled. Once all the boiled products have cooled down, peel and chop them. Potatoes, carrots and eggs, cut into cubes. Drain the brine from the cucumbers and also cut into cubes. Cut the ham into cubes (you can use smoked sausage). Chop the green onions, mix all the ingredients and season wi...
