Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a teacher and have been working with children for many years. I’m also a graphic designer and like creating bright and cheerful pictures for children’s design. Recently I’ve written and illustrated my first book “Woodland hide and seek”. I enjoed every minute of the process just because it was the way to combine both my passions together.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Woodland hide and seek” is my first book. I was inspired by nature, diverse and sometimes mystical woodland life that is always of great interest to children.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I just can’t write my poems at home. I always go anywhere (cafe, park, etc.) to write them.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Julia Donaldson, Eric Carle, Dr. Seuss and many others
What are you working on now?
Currently I’m working on the “Woodland activity book”
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Unfortunatelly, I don’t have a lot of experience in book promotion
Do you have any advice for new authors?
As a new author myself, I would like to get a piece of advice from someone experienced)))
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Never give up (as simple as it may sound)
What are you reading now?
I’m rereading “The Moomins” by Tove Jansson (to my mind it’s the best book ever written)
What’s next for you as a writer?
I would like to write and illustrate the whole series of “Hide and Seek” books
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
I would take “The Moomins”
