About Grigorina S

I've grown up surrounded by animals - dogs, cats, cows, goats, sheep, and horses and that has shaped me into what I am today - a crazy cat lady who always has a place for one more cat (or a dog). I've got two female cats - Kitty and Roni, and two tomcats - Blacky and Shaggy, but I also feed my neighbors' cats when they come for a visit. I just can't say no to them.
I discovered that writing is my vocation early in my school years. Since then I've taken part in several literature contests - writing horror and fantasy short stories and novellas.
For the past three years, I've been an ELS teacher, pouring my heart into showing children and teenagers how important English is for their future and trying to educate them how to treat their pets with care.
