Tanja Russita

Biography

Hi.
I'm Tanja. I live in Tromso, Norway.
Life here is simple, clear, fair and close to nature; somehow funny and challenging too! Hopefully, this is reflected in my books.
I draw, and describe my pictures in words if needed; this is what I call "writing".
I mostly write in Russian; when I feel the need to do it in English, I ask my colleague Jim for help in proof-reading (this might be called "improve-reading" as well).
I have an adorable husband and two kids (reminder: update when neccessary) who are, simultaneously, an endless source of inspiration and the black hole eating my time.
But what else would I need time for?
