Alias
Ida Martin about her pseudonym:
 | I want to say right away that he was not invented specifically for the series, the book, and was not intended to work with publishers at all. And this is not a thoughtful zakos for foreigners. This is a common network pseudonym that was created 10 years ago for the sole purpose of participating in an anonymous literary contest at Samizdat (SI). According to the conditions, the participant had to be a woman and hide under some fictitious name, at least Rapunzel, at least Alyonushka. But it only seems that inventing a one-time nickname is simple. As soon as it comes to it, a terrible stupor suddenly attacks. This time it was with me until my eyes fell on the bookshelf. Jack London "Martin Eden." I thought, why not? Martin Eden, only female option. Very good, because he is a cool and cool character. If I knew that things would go so far, I probably would have spent more than one sleepless night inventing something more appropriate to reality. Just that section, created under this name and successfully participated in that competition, pulled along a long creative history of living in SI, overgrown with acquaintances and reputation. And when I needed the first readers for DS, of course I immediately went there and, without hesitation, dumped the entire text into my section. Readers, of course, appeared, and with them came our ubiquitous pirates, who quickly pulled the DS along the network. So by the time of the proposal from the publisher, the question of changing the author’s name had not been raised. It would be strange if the same book were published under different names. That, in fact, is the whole story. Not very mysterious, but 100% true |
Shini's children
Sixteen-year-old Tonya lives, fenced off from feelings and worries, but the video of Christina, the ninth-grader, who accused Tony and six other such loners of her death, ruthlessly turns her usual, orderly and closed world.
The video is rapidly gaining popularity online. And the online community is determined to punish Christina's "killers."
What remains to be done when “no one loves anyone”, you are sixteen, and the whole world is against you?
| “Shini's Children” is a story about how people really need each other. On the importance of understanding and support. About compassion and forgiveness. About teenage experiences and finding answers to major questions. In addition, it is about labels and stamps, about blinkers in our eyes, about the reverse side of egoism and fencing. She’s also about adults. However, the main leitmotif in it, of course, is love, which, as you know, is stronger than injustice, evil and even death. |
What Makes Me (My Sum Rerum)
Eleventh grader Nikita is forced to move to his father and go to a new school. But before he manages to meet his difficult classmates, a mysterious phone falls into his hands. However, it does not begin with mysterious messages coming to this phone and not with a beautiful red-haired girl who made him lose his head at a glance. It all starts with Nikita's firm decision - at all costs to prove to her mother how unfairly she treated him. Going all the way, Nikita does not suspect how much his “universe” will change in just three months.
