UPDATE FROM THE AUTHOR
Oleg put his career writing, teaching, and performing for children on hold to defend his country. But his heart has not forgotten its center: stories can change lives.
We believe that with all our hearts. That’s why we work in telling stories.

Dear friends,
A lot has happened in few days that I have been absent from X. We've lost some of brothers-in-arms, and 2 cars have been seriously damaged.
Therefore, I'm compelled to ask for your assistance once again...

Hi guys!
Great premise!
The Legend of the Last Library by Frank L. Cole—Fun middle grade fiction in a world where paper and books are rare. Lots of interesting ideas about the role of technology. Back of the book discussion questions included. #kidlit #librarysky 📚👍🏻

Watched that in an altered state many years ago!
Just rewatched the Disney movie "Fantasia." It was the first movie I ever saw in a theatre when I was 6 years old.

I don’t know if there’s a word in the dictionary to describe the level of excitement I have for my interview with @petersokolowski.bsky.social!! He’s such a delightful person and I loved getting to know him! Y’all are in for a treat!
Yes, “y’all” is in the dictionary and so is “fangirl.”

Kyiv Metro turns 65 today.
For many, it’s not just transport,
but a shelter during the war.
The first line opened on November 6, 1960.
Now the system has 3 lines, 52 stations,
and nearly 70 km of routes across the city.

I'm sure the spark was already there!
Hello @piercepress.com
How are you?
Grateful for the spark you’ve lit in me.
I just received my first review from an Italian reader who bought my English-language book.
This is so precious!
Have a nice day 😊 #review #books #englishlanguage #learnenglish

A calm night in Kyiv.
The war forecast doesn’t predict any massive attack –
just drones,
those annoying flies
that cause so much damage.
