An artist. A mom. A baker. A childcare specialist. A homemade pizza enthusiast.

I started writing in December 2013, right after I watched The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, because I needed something that would be only mine - something that wasn't part of my job, my grad studies, my family, my background, me being a wife and a mum. Since then I've created my original character Wren (then Wren of Enedwaith, a healer from Dale), who later has become my constant protagonist. Jane Austen said - and J.K. Rowling later repeated - that one should write about something one knows well; so I created an ultra-sensitive, empathic INFJ character, who I thought would be a good pair to the Thorin I had in my mind. Both these characters later developed into a myriad of modern and alternate universe characters. I enjoy playing with different back stories, circumstances, and facets of the personalities for my Wren/Olivia/Etta/Gemma and Thorin/John/Jack/Darius/Marcus - keeping their core characteristic intact, but exploring how they would change if their lives, their universes, and their relationships were different.

Since then I've indie published several novels on Amazon (they are available in paperback and Kindle (including Kindle Unlimited)), plus you can find several of my free webserials on Wattpad: Katya Kolmakov.

If you don't know what to start with, here are a few of my personal favourites on this page:

Me Without You

Complete Hobbit AU: Two years after the Battle of the Five Armies, Wren of Enedwaith, a young healer of Men comes to the City of Dale. Dale and Esgaroth have been restored, Dain Ironfoot rules Erebor, and life is abundant and peaceful. The King Thorin II rests in a tomb of white stone under his Mountain. Who is the Dwarf with piercing blue eyes Wren sees in her dreams? [COMPLETE]

Four Corners of Middle Earth

Sequel to Me Without You: At the brink of the War of the Ring, at the shores of Southern Gondor, Lothiriel, the Princess of Dol Amroth, encounters a long dead King of Erebor Dwarves, and a woman of Men. The lives of the three of them, as well as of Eomer, of the House of Eorl, will intertwine through the war, through the perils, and the days of joy to come (Thorin/OC Wren; Eomer/Lothiriel) [on hiatus]

Thorin Durinson and the Conundrum of the Ginger Transfer Student

Harry Potter and Hobbit crossover: Thorin Durinson, the best student and the biggest womanizer of his year in Slytherin, has his excellent grades, his mates, all the wealth and privilege he could want, and his father is the Headmaster. Life is ace, except he just can't get his paws on the new student: the ginger lollystick named Wren Leary. But he doesn't have the reputation of Hogwarts' Casanova for nothing. The chick will submit, and who cares that there is some mental rubbish going on at school! [COMPLETE]

I love you all, my lovelies! You make it all worthwhile!
