I write Christian books that make children forget about time — and teenagers read even under the blanket with a flashlight.
About Me
I am a mother of three. I live in sunny Moldova and write Christian books for children and teenagers. I create captivating stories that draw readers in, inspire them, and help them discover important truths. I also write stories for children's camps and scripts for Christmas productions for the church. I sing in the church choir and lead the children's page during Sunday services. I believe that through books we can sow seeds of faith, love, and kindness in children's hearts.
Published Books
Born in Captivity
This book is based on real events. Svetlana Firsova was born in prison, and her childhood was spent amid poverty, violence, and alcoholism. Later came an orphanage, a foster family, and difficult trials that left a deep mark on her heart. It seemed that such a past could determine her fate forever, but God changed her life step by step. Svetlana tells how she learned to live with pain, to forgive, to trust God, and to find the strength to live again. This book is a personal testimony of God's love and faithfulness even in the hardest times. It reminds us that our past does not determine our future, and that with God, even after the heaviest trials, we can find hope, healing, and true freedom.

Not Like Everyone Else
A large castle, expensive toys, the best teachers… Ten-year-old Eduard has everything anyone could dream of. But behind the high castle walls he desperately lacks the love of those closest to him. He is confined to a wheelchair, his mother barely notices him, and a luxurious life cannot warm a heart that feels alone. Everything changes the day a kind nanny brings her daughter to the castle. The girl cannot see the world with her eyes. And yet she seems to be the first to notice what no one else has: a lonely boy who longs to be loved. Eduard will have to learn what true wealth is, why someone with closed eyes can sometimes see far more than others, and where to find the One who never leaves.
Run Without Looking Back
Summer. Two sisters. A mysterious forest. A holiday at grandmother's seemed ordinary — until one night the girls meet the local children and hear about a mysterious cabin whose secret no one has been able to solve. From that moment a real adventure begins: dangers, unexpected secrets, old scores, and jealousy that can destroy even a strong friendship. What does the cabin in the woods hide? Whom can you trust? And why do you sometimes have to run without looking back?
Unsafe Network
Roma treats an online game as ordinary entertainment, but little by little it starts to run his life. Lies, skipped classes, stealing, arguments, and trouble at home lead to him having to leave his familiar virtual world for a week and go to a Christian teen camp — without phones or tablets. There, for the first time, he has to look honestly at himself and at what he has done.
Christmas Productions
Stage scripts written for church Christmas performances
A Christmas Portrait
A story of how one talent, given to God, can change more than one life. Grandpa Ivan is a painter some call unfriendly, but the children know him as a kind teacher. When his young pupil falls seriously ill, he decides to use his gift to save her.
Journey to Christmas (a musical)
Ilyusha has no interest in music lessons — his phone and games are far more fun. But one night, opening a Christmas advent calendar, he falls asleep and wakes up inside the Bible story itself, from Zechariah and Elizabeth to the road to Bethlehem.
Mary
A scene about what Mary's life was like among her friends and family — her hopes, her cares, her faith. The audience witnesses her learning she will become the mother of Jesus, and relives the Christmas story through the eyes of those who saw the King's birth.
A Christmas Miracle (Isabelle and Azar)
Isabelle and her friends are wrapping presents for Christmas when she hears an old friend has returned. On her way to see him, she finds a lost boy in the woods wearing a medallion that holds a secret her family has kept for years.
The Heart's Hidden Chest
Children find an old trunk and ask their father to tell its story. They learn of his youth — a dream of wealth that nearly cost him his conscience, and the path back to God through honest confession and prayer.
The Last Lamplighter
128 years ago, in the small town of Roten, a lonely lamplighter named Martin lit the street lamps every evening. When electricity comes to town, the old man is seen as obsolete — until one boy starts to wonder why everyone is so unkind to him.
