I started writing at age 11. Then, with all the enthusiasm I had, I started to invent worlds of my own.

It has been like that ever since. Characters live in my head and line up to tell their stories. I completed my first novel at 17 (100 pages of handwritten text I wrote in-between and after classes) but then needed to take some break from writing and school and university life took their toll on me.

8 years and 4 university degree certificates later, I came back to writing. The first three books I wrote are a fan-fic of my favourite urban fantasy series. You can read them here in Bulgarian. I still post a chapter each week, as the volume is huge.

Писателски размисли по никое време

Знаете, че при всеки удобен случай подчертавам, че животът и работата на писателя не са цветя и рози. Не е като във филмите на Холмарк (и да, постоянно ги ползвам като пример, защото са показателни) - много рядко дебютен роман става бестселър, а авторът му забогатява и може на момента да зареже работата си и да се отдаде на писането.

Bistra Stoimenova liked Pamela Nikolova's review of Семейна сбирка: "Кратка история за това как надежда винаги има и се появява, когато най-малко очакваш и по начин, по който не си си и представял. С една дума - съдба. Сърцето ме заболя от думите, които майката на Стела ѝ наговори в последния им разговор и както слуша" Read more of this review »
