Welcome aboard!
Here lives my imagination. Please make yourself at home and feel free to bring your friends, there is plenty of room in my skull.
I am a published, award-winning author who has been developing new alloys of science fiction, fantasy, and surrealism since 2010. Initially, I wrote in Russian and Ukrainian languages, and my stories were published across a broad spectrum of magazines and anthologies. However, later on, life gave me the hits I couldn’t take, and I fled my creative path, feeling bitter and lost.
As I sought a new purpose, I turned to English to fill the void in my soul. Learning new words was healing. Despite a solid university background, the language had existed for me only within the engineering realm. Applying it creatively was a terra incognita—both thrilling and intimidating. Unexpectedly, I fell in love with this magic language, and untold ideas began emerging in my mind as if something within me was unlocked.
In 2015, I began writing in English. Mastering the foreign tongue was tough, but I was driven by the meaning I reclaimed.
In 2020, the “Space and Time” magazine accepted one of my works, signifying that all my struggles had not been in vain. Other publications followed in their turn, each one marking a new milestone. Along the way, I’ve established myself as a literary translator of two children’s books in the scope of a side project.
Although balancing writing with daily life challenges is extremely hard, I keep pushing forward. You may find my stories, as well as more details about my path, in the corresponding categories of this website.
Thank You for coming! I believe all people are fundamentally creative, and there is a metaphysical bond between a writer and a reader. While the author delivers mere words, it is the reader who brings them to life with their unique vision. A single story is reborn through countless interpretations. This process enriches the shared realm of ideas that we all can access in moments of inspiration.
Let’s stay connected and co-create together!
Sincerely,
Viacheslav Lazurin
