She started her writing career as a copywriter and Creative Director in radio. Her first produced radio play showed her what sound can do to enhance story. Now 30 years later, she comes full circle collaborating with Becky Parker Geist of Pro Audio Voices.Many years ago, Vlatka used songs without words to generate stories that her children found entertaining and engaging, woven with lessons addressing their daily challenges. It started as a mother’s desire to help and nurture her children.The stories spread to classrooms. Soon Vlatka was invited to events for adults too. Many have called Vlatka’s short stories folk stories, some have called them myths, or pedagogical (teaching) stories.Vlatka has written short stories for schools, events and individuals. Topics have included racism, gender issues, friendship, goodness, truth and beauty, forgiveness, understanding and many other emotional and spiritual topics.
