Author

I was born in 1953 in Pula. From 1956 until 1985, I lived in Zagreb, where I went to school. I now live in Velika Gorica.
I have been writing poetry and other literary work from an early age, as well as painting pictures. At one time I was a member of the art group ‘69’ but had to neglect my love of painting due to my family commitments.
In Secondary School, I was an active member and pupil representative in charge of the school library, where I was actively involved with the maintenance and lending of books to other pupils.
My work was published in school newspapers, magazines, etc; also, I read my poems at various opportune occasions.
Around 1970 poems have been published in magazines for the young; in Tina, in Prvomajac and in the collection of poems Poesis. Poems from an earlier period were published in school newspapers or performed at suitable festivals.
As a young mother, I told stories, which I made up, to my son, not because other stories were not very good, but because of his curiosity and constant desire for something different. It was from him that I gained the incentive to write my first book.
In my former workplace (Metalia Commerce), I organized suitable festivals for children, and at the time when our country was at war, I arranged an exhibition of children’s drawings from our estate in Velika Gorica.
Apart from children’s stories and novels for adults, I am also a poet.
Since February 2004, I have been a member of the Society of Writers for Children and Youth. Since March 2005, I have been a member of Artists’ Society "Spark," Velika Gorica. Also, I was working as “Spark’s” magazine editor.

Along with books and stories for kids, I am writing novels containing crime and thriller elements.

My favorite novelist: Sharon and Tom Curtis - Sunshine and Shadows, Miguel de Cervantes - Don Quiyote, Thomas Hardy - A pure woman, Theodor Dreiser - Carrie, Hesse - Demian, Robin Cook, Cronin, Lawrence, Goethe, ... and many others.
