Повесть "Дракон" была издана в 2015г. в Нью-Йорке в литературном журнале эмигрантов из бывшего СССР "Слово WORD". Сегодня у читателей нашей страны тоже появилась возможность узнать о судьбе двух подростков, живущих на свалке…
Замуж за монстра
Попасть в другой мир? Попасть дважды? Выйти замуж и быть совсем не против этого? Почему бы и нет? Особенно, если твой новоиспеченный муж – "монстр", младший брат Посейдона, повелитель рек, болот и озер. Ах да, в комплекте прилагаются Мир Хаоса, странные способности и множество сказочных существ, половина которых хочет убить, а вторая – украсть…
Плексмус, или Сказка для 40-летних детей
Хотелось написать сказку для тех, кто уже достаточно большой, чтобы воспринимать жизнь реально, но при этом не потерял веру в чудеса. Чтобы она была весёлой, увлекательной, с необычным взглядом на обычные вещи, обязательно познавательной, чтобы даже взрослый человек мог узнать для себя что-то новое. Ну, и чтоб это была сказка: Любознательный подросток Коля случайно проваливается в дупло дуба и оказывается в другом мире, где невозможное, кажется, возможно. Теперь ему нужно выбраться назад, а сделать это можно, только пройдя пешком через всю страну, которую населяют доброжелательные люди, живущие среди очень непривычных вещей и персонажей, одному из которых – Плексмусу – суждено стать его сотоварищем в этом странствии. Мельница-грехомолка, Мосты веры, Колодцы несбывшихся желаний, Магазин непуганных цен и другие многочисленные места, куда попадают друзья, показывают им, казалось бы, обыденные вещи с неожиданной стороны, что превращает путешествие в большое познавательное приключение.

The assassins who invade their bungalow receive a deadly surprise. And two determined, skilled operatives escape into the jungle. Jonathan and Gail are not the only free agents on the island. Cut off from his usual tactical team, with a pair of unlikely allies he can’t fully trust, Grave’s only hope of reliable back-up is his partner Boxers, who’s hundreds of miles—and hours—away. It won’t be long before the invaders turn this tropical paradise into the powderkeg that will set off global chaos. Grave may be without weapons, but he’s never without resources. Bold action is the only solution. Like the scorpion, Grave must strike fast and hard . . .
