Hi, I am Kateryna. Happy to meet you :-)

I don’t like bios. I see them as an attempt to squeeze a person into a standardized definition that tells nothing about their personality.

If you need my “professional” bio anyway, please click here.

Otherwise, I’d rather tell you some fun facts about me ;-) :
• I believe in magic! (yes, I do!)
• I can cook to survive only ;-)
• I looove K-dramas!!!
• I can’t math to save my life.
• My logic isn’t for everyone.
• I looove handwriting! as well as beautiful notebooks and fountain pens <3<3<3
• I love playing with different “What ifs” and growing stories out of seemingly unremarkable situations.
• I am an avid traveler. When I travel, I love experiencing new places in a meaningful way (quality over quantity).
• I love Irish dancing and I am a forever fan of Riverdance.
• I learned to sail and sailed on a Viking ship (it was part of my research for my book Raven Boy).
• I can play piano and flute.
• I used to put paper covers on all my books so that to read fiction during the lessons without being caught.
• I write stories because I absolutely love the process.
• I started writing after having read “Penrod” by Booth Tarkington. Penrod, the main character, secretly wrote down stories that he was imagining, and I thought it was wise because if I do that, I will not forget any of my stories.
• As a child and a teenager, I believed that it was really uncool to be a writer. Worse than that, according to my former self, was to be a poet!
• I am the genealogist of my family; I keep a small archive of old photos, letters and stories from the family members that died before I was born.

Thanks a lot for stopping by and for reading me! ;-)
