Author Bio
I was born in Moscow and I have been living in France, in a picturesque
place, close to the border with Switzerland. My village has been known
since the 14th century and is located on the shore of the lake called Lac
Léman, a lovely spot admired by many artists and poets of the past
centuries.
I am a doctor and have an M.D., Ph.D. in medical science. Literature and
creative writing is still quite a new area for me.
Thanks to my medical education, I am quite good at understanding human
psychology and taking a deeper look into a person’s essence, their character,
as well as comprehending their feelings and the reasons for their state of
mind.
My first work, “Autumn arabesques” was published by the American
magazine, Ladyscharm.com, New York.
In December 2020 I happened to become one of the finalists of the 9th
International Literature Festival “Open Eurasia 2020” in London. The
English translation of my lyrical novel “The story of my foolishness” was
presented within “Prose” category.
My “Christmas story” was published in the Bulgarian almanac “Litera”
almost at the same time.
In April 2021, my short story “Life of a soldier” was published by the
Bulgarian almanac “Art Litera”. That particular issue of the magazine came
out “Writers vote for Peace”.
In May 2021, the St. Petersburg publishing house “Four” published a
fragment of the novel “The story of my foolishness” as part of the digest
“Do not lie to yourself” dedicated to F. Dostoevsky’s 200th anniversary.
I was also fortunate enough to be able to publish two essays - “Autumn
arabesques” and “The Elegy of Old Tango” in the Literature Album
“Thread” V , Publishing house “Hertfordshire Press”, London, 2021.
The St. Petersburg publisher “Four” published my lyrical novel “The story
of my foolishness” in April 2021.
Also in April 2021, I participated in the 11th International Literature
Festival “Chekhov’s Autumn 2020”. My nomination was called “Landscape
lyrics”.
I was granted an award of honour “For preserving the traditions of
Literature” for “Autumn arabesques”.
In June 2021, I was one of the winners of the 9th International Festival
“Open Eurasia 2020” in London. It was a very important moment of my life.
My lyrical novel “The story of my foolishness” was nominated for the best
book in “Prose” category and won the 3rd prize. Besides, my book took its
place among Golden Top-10 of the contest’s works.
In July 2021 I became one of the prize winners of another international
contest called “Native Amber” organized by the Writers Union of North
America. My story “Invincible spirit” was nominated for the “Best Prose
Book”.
I feel I’ve been blessed in life with my gift of literary creativity and the
ability to express myself on pages of my own books. I feel lucky and
grateful for all my friends and colleagues who share the same interests as
me!
