I am a writer from Galway, Ireland with a background in trading, recruitment and the hospitality sector. After gaining vast life experience of living in Russia, UK, Switzerland, USA and Ireland, I self-published my debut novel ‘A Thread of Secrets’ in 2024. Soon after, I completed a TV Drama Series Pilot ‘Lady Clifford’ based on my novel and wrote feature length scripts as well. My formidable journey from a small town in the former USSR to the literary world of Ireland reflects the same resilience and passion I bring to thought-provoking and emotionally engaged storytelling.

I am drawn to write character-driven stories which explore the core of human nature and its complexity. The themes are infused with love and loss along with history and stunning locations. The tapestry of my personal life, full of tragic losses and life challenges, along with a love of history and everything about the world, inspires me and sparks my creativity. Sometimes, it’s not easy to talk about your personal experiences, even after healing. I prefer to observe, learn and use my imagination to create something meaningful, which hopefully resonates with the audience.

“A Thread of Secrets” has been short-listed for CAP Awards 2025.

Lady Clifford is an award-winning Pilot Script, with established IP, seeks producers. It has been praised by the judges of many Screenplay Competitions 2025 as:

“A strong, emotionally resonant female lead story with period-appropriate constraints.”

“Complex character dynamics with intergenerational tension.”

“Grace’s journey from a wild child to a young woman grappling with societal pressures and personal desires is compelling. The descriptions of Donegal, Ireland and the English countryside are beautifully rendered, providing a lush backdrop that enhances the narrative.”

Thank you so much everyone for your amazing support!

With love and gratitude to all.
