To those who think that Greece does not matter today, let me say that they could not make a bigger mistake. Today, like old Greece, is of the utmost importance for anyone looking to find himself.

Henry Miller, 1891-1980, American author

Ever since I was little, I have loved autumn rain. Either I'm on the street with an umbrella and hear the beats of the raindrops or I'm at home observing it from my window glass. I could see the puddles filled with water...

Alone in her own loom, life finds her weaving words in moons and suns, alone in the nights counting the stars and pains not counting a thousand. She fights the uphill climb of life without a murmur coming out of her lips alone, even if there are many around her...

 The grandmother of Pontus, my grandmother, was a woman with fists and courage throughout her life. Coming with a thousand and two hardships from a village of Orddus that was on the shores of the Black Sea, she ended up in a village in Northern Greece without knowing the...

Born in Kavala, since her childhood she has grown on its outskirts and until now lives in a natural environment, full of trees, birds, flowers.

She is married, has three children and three grandchildren.

From a young age she enjoyed in her free time reading literary books while in her adolescence she started writing her first poems.

Growing up, he became involved as an amateur in the field of art, and specifically in theater, song and painting. She wrote her first fairy tales after she got married and became a mother, when she ran out of every fairy tale or story and wanted to tell something new to her own children.

In the meantime, her third child came into her life and she devoted herself to raising her children, since her husband was away from home for many hours for work. At the same time, he decided to work from home to contribute to the family income, undertaking artistic works. When her children grew up and her grandchildren came to life, she had more time at her disposal and was systematically engaged in writing fairy tales and lyrics.

A year ago she decided to share her work with other parents, teachers and young children, in order to contribute in her own way to the field of children's fairy tales.

In her fairy tales, the heroes are creatures of nature, with human characteristics and express aspects of human character, in order to offer children stimuli and convey information and messages that are imprinted in their minds. Every fairy tale has a happy ending, full of optimism as it considers that it is a necessary and valuable resource in modern times for children who are now growing up.

Her poems capture representations of nature and everyday life and the emotions they evoke in her. Although the performances are repeated, sometimes the first role is played by the clouds, the rain, the snow, sometimes the wild flowers, the trees, the birds and sometimes again the small animals that live near her.

At the moment, two of her free e-books are being released, "The Velvet Pillow" and "The Owl's Feather", while her first book "Mrs. Flu and Her Children" by I-Write Publications has just been released.
