Katya Kolmakov was born and raised in turbulent post-Soviet Saint Petersburg, Russia, in the posh but whimsical family of a professor of the Russian language and one of the first bankers in the former USSR. Two Master's degrees, sixteen years of teaching languages, literature, and translation, and two tattoos later Katya lives in an odd creaky house in Winnipeg, Canada, with her husband, her wonderful son, two cats, and a mad assortment of house plants. An avid baker, Katya works in a daycare, playing and colouring with preschoolers all day; draws in ink and watercolours; grows vegetables and herbs in her garden; takes her kid to the zoo; and writes every evening.
