I like to write stories that the viewers can easily dive into and get fully engaged. I create believable sympathetic characters that children fall in love with.
This is thanks to the fact that I've been working as a psychologist for 10 years and I know a great deal about child psychology. What do they dream about at different ages? What do they want? What frightens them and what are they worried about? What are they afraid of and what makes them laugh?

I have spent several years living in the USA, Greece, Israel, and Georgia. My passion for travel has led me to explore over 50 countries. Through my travels, I've engaged extensively with locals, delved into various traditions, and studied the psychology of different cultures. This has enhanced my understanding of cultural nuances across nations, allowing me to grasp their values and contemporary societal issues more deeply.

Mia and the Dragon

«Mia and the Dragon» — a compelling story about small girl who was dreaming about a pet, but her parents didn't allow her to have one. 
The picture is bright and charming. The person who created the illustrations is my sister Maria Mantorova, talented illustrator and creative craftswoman.
