About
Hi, my name is Nadya
And I'm the dragon of this trove.
I grew up dreaming of a life of adventure and freedom. Exploring the world, seeing new countries, trying different foods, experiencing other cultures.
​
In my 30s, I got it.
​
I also began the biggest adventure ever, writing books.
​
Unlike many authors, I didn't grow up wanting to write for a living. Instead, I wanted to read. I didn't think I had much imagination, or any ability for storytelling.
​
And in my culture (see: religious fundamentalism) 90% of what I read would get me lectured or punished. As for what I'll end up writing...
​
Let's just say people freak out if you mention magic, much less dream, imagine, and write about it.
I broke the rules I’d been raised with and wrote a book that most of the elders try to pretend didn't happen.
​
I'm a big sister, an aunt, and either the funnest or dullest person you've ever hung out with, depending on my mood and whether I like you.
​
The Rebels is my first book, but it's by no means my last.
