My home town is Grozny in the beautiful Caucasus mountaines. Grozny was ruined during the war in 1990s and then re-built, becoming very modern & state-of-the-art but, unfortunately, losing its soul and old charm. So, I perfectly know the pain of misplacement & abandonment when you are not able to connect with the family and roots. That is why I am passionate about helping such authors as Olya Mancuso (a woman of incredible strength and character) with whom I befriended in Australia where I came in 2012 on a search for better life. I have a Bachelor Degree in teaching English and German as foreign languages. I am also a Certified Dental Assistant who graduated from TAFE in 2014. I am currently employed as a Dental Assistant at the private dental practice in Brisbane, Australia. But this is not my true passion. My true passion is writing and working with texts. I adore playing with words. When I was a child, I was dreaming of becoming a journalist and even tried to enroll with the faculty of journalism at Moscow State University. Unfrotunately, I was not accepted. However, this did not quench my thirst and passion for writing. I am also an author, a proof reader and a keen movie reviewer. I have about 130 movie reviews published already. I have a book published in Canada (in Russian). The book contains short stories about life and men-women relationships. Now, I am in the process of writing a new book in English. And I am looking forward to publishing it! view less
