Books are never born alone. Here are the people who stood with me and helped bring my stories to life.

​

Margarita Palshina — Editor

Vlada Borodavka — Translator, Editor (and Author’s Daughter)

Born in Ukraine and now living in the U.S., Vlada graduated from Loyola University Chicago. Translator and editor of the English versions of the Voices Within series. Thanks to her, the books sound just as bold and vibrant in English as they do in the original.

Vlada doesn’t just translate — she adapts the text for an American audience, keeping the author’s voice, irony, and vividness intact.
And yes… she’s my daughter. Which means, like it or not, her name shows up on almost every page of my books.
