Hi everyone,

My Book 2 has just been released: The Tale of the Golden Cockerel, part of my series Reimagined Pushkin Fairy Tales (in Verse).

It’s a bilingual (English–Russian), full-color edition written in verse, created for readers ages 7–12—a classic fairy tale with a fresh, kid-friendly rhythm and feel.

If you enjoy:

fairy-tale retellings,

classic stories in a new voice,

rhymed/poetic storytelling for kids,

I’d love to hear your thoughts, impressions, and any discussion after you read.

Special note (KU / non-KU):
If you don’t have Kindle Unlimited, both Book 1 and Book 2 will be available in free access on December 23–24.

Thank you for reading and for sharing your honest reviews on Amazon.com and/or Goodreads.The Tale of the Golden Cockerel: A Verse Retelling of Alexander Pushkin’s Fairy Tale

My work explores desire, power, and identity through myth, history, and the human psyche.


In Manifesto of Persephone, I analyze the relationship and tension between the feminine and the masculine across different historical periods — from Ancient Greece and Rome, through the Middle Ages, to modernity and the contemporary world.
The reflection unfolds through archetypal figures: Persephone as passage and transformation; Demeter as mother and origin; Hades as the masculine in itself — inward, subterranean, and autonomous; and Zeus as the father, embodiment of law, authority, and order. Through these figures, the text questions how human laws and social structures have historically regulated, silenced, and often repressed the feminine, particularly in relation to women’s bodies, voices, and social roles.


In Narcissus, My Love, the gaze turns inward. This work explores desire in its many forms: desire for oneself, desire for the other, shared desire, and virtual desire. Narcissus becomes a mirror rather than a myth — a way to ask whether self-desire is mere vanity or, instead, the reflection of a universe seeking to recognize itself through human consciousness.
I would be deeply grateful if you chose to engage with these works and allow them to open a space for reflection — an invitation to listen, to read, and to encounter these questions with openness and care.
