About Me

Born in Russia, educated at Cambridge and Brighton. Currently finishing my Business Management degree whilst writing novels that refuse to stay in single genres.

My background in psychology and sociology feeds into stories about unreliable memory and fractured identity. I’m particularly drawn to interactive storytelling that makes readers active participants rather than passive observers.

Contemporary Fiction Writer

The books explore what happens when the foundations of self prove malleable. Memory as weapon, identity as construction, truth as negotiable commodity. I research extensively for each project – spent time in Egyptian tombs for The Maw, studied memory disorders for Art of Oblivion, travelled by night train across Europe for Blank Spots.

Experimental Territory

The Work

a desk

Still learning the craft, still figuring out how far I can push the boundaries between literature and other media. Each book is an experiment.
