Hey, guys!
There are many students and pupils among my readers.
Many of them write to me saying: "I admire Hadjar for his independence and the fact that he doesn't care about public opinion. This guy has his own self and his own view of the world, which is not dependent on other people's opinions and the desire to be ...
Hey, guys!
While creating his/her books, a writer lives dozens of lives. I've experienced that myself.
Among other things, a writer has the opportunity to live the life of a "bad" character that he or she has created.
Something we can't afford in real life - because normal people don't break laws, help their neighbor, and pr...
Hey, guys!
Each of us has our experiences and challenges to become a better person.
I get a lot of different feedback about my books from my readers. Dozens of “Dragon Heart” fans write that they find it especially interesting how the main character Hadjar changes, how his views and worldview change throughout the series.

Hey, guys!
As the creator of hundreds of characters for my books, I've always wondered why the villains often generate a lot of interest and even sympathy?
In my opinion, one of the main reasons readers are on the side of evil is because some people like to be different from the majority.
And that's OK, because it's part of ...

Hey, guys!
The new book in the «Dragon Heart» series, «Way to the North», will be released on July 12th, 2023.
Hadjar's path may be thorny, but his path is lit by the fire of the sun itself. The flame of justice burns in his soul. It is a flame that can dispel any darkness that blocks his way.
My dear r...
Hey, guys!
One of the main components of fantasy is fighting monsters.
We all hate monsters, but we must admit that without them stories lose their epic appeal.
Monsters can be various: giant reptiles, cannibals, sneaky villains in the form of seductive beauties and belles, elements of all kinds.
But s...
Hey, guys!
Let us agree that the microcosm in which we live inevitably shapes how we see the world and how we choose to live.
A safe and comfortable environment is a wonderful place for everyday living, but an incredibly boring place for the book universe. Exciting stories never happen in mundane places.

Hey, guys.
As the author of the «Dragon Heart» saga, I have three formulas for the protagonist's development:
- the protagonist changes their beliefs as a result of their trials and becomes wiser and more kind;
- the protagonist changes the world around him/her (eg. eliminates monsters) - his/her beliefs remain the ...
Hey, guys!
Recently I remembered a famous saying «Those who fight with monsters should be especially careful not to become a monster themselves.»
Well, for the main character of my "Dragon Heart" saga, the warrior Hadjar, this question is not really relevant.
For him, being a monster is the only way to stay aliv...

May is almost over and the summer is coming.
Or not hot for people like me - in my hometown of St. Petersburg it's rainy and cloudy in spring, summer and fall.
Whatever country you live in, I wish you joyful summer adventures and boundless faith in yourself as a warrior with the Dragon Heart - the stern Hadjar. ...
Hey, guys!
As the creator of a fantasy saga, I work very hard on plot and character images. I have to admit that there comes a point in any writer's work when he stops making up the actions of his characters and starts just observing them and writing down what happens.
Sometimes I myself am shocked and surprised by th...
Hey, guys!
As the author and creator of the rather popular «Dragon Heart» saga, I often wondered, if the characters the author creates influence the author?
The warrior Hadjar, whose life is an endless series of battles and adventures, is half man and half monster
His soul is a mixture of light and darkn...
Hey guys!
The main character of my book saga "Dragon Heart", the stern warrior Hadjar, has lived through different times.
Times of triumph and defeat, times of peace and times of making friends and betrayal.
Here, I believe, he is like all of us.
It's May, when nature begins to bloom and awaken.
I think it's t...
Hey, guys!
There is a saying in my hometown, "May is the best time to go on a date with the city of bridges."
As you can imagine, "the city of bridges is St. Petersburg.".
Perhaps I will paraphrase this saying for our turbulent times: "Today is the best time to build bridges.»
Let us not destroy the fra...
Hey, guys!
As the creator of the fantasy book universe, I have carefully researched the types of magical weapons for my characters - swords, staffs, bows and arrows, armor and various artifacts, cursed weapons and weapons with a mind of their own.
Magical weapons are things without which it is impossible to create a...
Hey, guys!
As the creator of my own fantasy universe, I've had a lot of thoughts about a formula for character creation that will be fun for my readers.
For me, the main character should be very emotional, capable of crazy and risky things, and also a bit crazy.

Hey guys.
Despite some difficulties due to the unstable world situation, my book "Way to the South" was released on Amazon today.
This release would not have been possible if it had not been for the support of my readers.
It is you who are the key to the success of the book.
It is your interest and your activism that ...
Hey, guys!
The main character of my saga "Dragon Heart", the stern warrior Hadjar, doesn’t know the word "retreat" or "give up".
The whole of his life is an endless series of battles and the overcoming of obstacles.
Sometimes I draw parallels between the fate of my characters and the reality in which we live.

Hey, guys.
In my hometown of St. Petersburg, spring is the most ambiguous and contradictory time of the year: half-melted snowdrifts remind me of the last winter, ice and slush make me move extremely carefully on slippery streets, but the sun is already spring, and so are the smiles on the faces of passers-by.

As a wordsmith who dabbles in the enchanting realms of Wuxia and Fantasy, I must confess my deep fascination with the darker side of humanity. And it seems that many of my readers share this same sentiment.
The truth is, overly virtuous characters can often prove to be quite vexing. They possess an innate strength th...

Greetings, guys!
The first month of spring has graced us with its presence, signifying the departure of snow, cold, and wind. However, the valorous protagonist of my book saga, "Dragon Heart" Hadjar, is accustomed to battles and strife in any weather and at any time of the year.
How do you face the challenges that life presents to ...
Hey, guys!
Today marks the end of winter, and with it comes the promise of a new season, a new chapter in our lives that is yet unwritten. How do you feel about the unknown that lies ahead? Does tomorrow instill fear within you, or does it ignite a sense of curiosity?
Personally, I view life as a grand adventure, a quest in which I am ...
Hey, guys!
Can you believe it? We're in the last week of winter. As a native of St. Petersburg, I can attest that the city turns into a living, breathing fairy tale this time of year. As night falls, the city is bathed in dazzling lights and whimsical decorations, and kiosks serving hot coffee and mulled wine can be found on almost every ...
Valentine's Day is a special occasion to express love and affection to your loved ones.

There are many catastrophes in the world...
I am always horrified when I hear about them...
Fortunately, I live in an area where there are no floods, tsunamis, landslides, volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, or earthquakes.
The magnitude and power of the elements is always astounding and disheartening.

The response I receive from readers around the world reinforces my belief that we are a community of individuals who appreciate good literature and compelling stories.
Our lives are our own personal stories, each unique and original, blending elements of humor, drama, psychological suspense, and more....
