Grigory Ryzhakov
Biography
Grigory (a.k.a Grisha) Ryzhakov grew up in the Russian Far East, bathing in the icy waters of Seas of Okhotsk and Japan and playing hide-and-seek in the snowdrifts that carpeted his native town of Korsakov.
He later travelled thousands of miles to vibrant London, on the way collecting his MSc degree in biochemistry at Moscow State and PhD in molecular biology at Cambridge University.
Meanwhile, Grigory has been ceaselessly creating poems, songs and prose until eventually he wrote his debut novel "Mr Right & Mr Wrong".
"Usher Syndrome" was his first published story, also adapted for the stage and performed at London's Barons Court Theatre in 2010.

Emily's Ronda Romance
on May 02, 2013
Emily's Ronda Romance is a light pleasant read, ideal for vacation time. The story is told from Emily's point of view. She is a merry, quirky character. She's always dreaming about things, which sometimes gets her in trouble, though more often her boyfriend Brian is in trouble as a result of her quirks. She's so lucky to have a gorgeous loyal man like him by her side who accepts her for what she is. But the question is whether he's finally going to propose when they are out on a holiday trip to a beatiful town of Ronda? Considering Emily's gregarious demeanor at least a laugh out loud adventure is guaranteed.
