Stories that connect us to our roots and inspire our creative journey.

Welcome! I'm Victoria.

Through the stories I share, I aim to inspire creativity, connection, and perseverance across generations.

Whether I’m uncovering the untold stories of the German-Russian diaspora, encouraging children to follow their dreams, or inspiring fellow writers to embrace the creative journey, my hope is to show how powerful storytelling can be.

Through a blend of history, imagination, and personal reflection, I encourage readers to honour their roots, nurture their resilience, and, above all, keep creating!

MY WORK

I believe stories have the power to connect readers of all ages by uncovering shared histories and universal truths.

Whether writing for adults or children, my work balances historical accuracy with creative storytelling to make learning an adventure. By blending creativity and cultural narratives, I bring the past to life and help readers, young and old, see their own lives in new ways.
