About the Author

My biography presented here is different from biographies of other, "normal" writers. Normal writers rarely try to hide their identity, Aza do. Aza was born in the USSR, in what is now Ukraine and remembers the rhyming joke from Brezhnev's era: "To write on the toilet walls / Unfortunately the trend is not new / But what can we do / When only here is freedom of speech".
Ironically "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes" (attributed to Mark Twain), and 30 years after the breakup of the Soviet Union it is still dangerous to tell truth in Ukraine, painted by Western media as "freedom loving and democratic".
Aza leaves safely in one of Western democracies but visits friends and relatives in Ukraine regularly and for this reason do not want to put a real name of the author on a book title page. Name Aza Zello is derived from the character of the great M. Bulgakov novel "Master and Margaret".
The text below this line is Aza's fictional biography for Russian speakers not worth of translation.
-----
Я родилась не слишком привлекательным мальчиком, в семье писателя, имя которого слишком известно, что бы его можно было тут упомянуть. Едва научившись ходить, я доковыляло до зеркала, критически оценил увиденное и твёрдо решил превратить себя в красивую девушку. Я добилась этого простым, невероятным усилием своей железной воли. Взгляните на фото и вы убедитесь, что это удалось. Как впрочем и всё остальное, за что брался этот талантливейший ребёнок.
В том возрасте, когда другие дети только учатся разговаривать, юная я уже писала свой первый роман. К несчастью для человечества, он не сохранился. Чуть подростя, я попыталась экспериментально проверить теорию негорения рукописей. Результат этого эксперимента, оказал глубочайшее влияние на многие отрасли знаний. Он прочно вошел не только в учебники торетического негорения, но и в инструкции пожарной безопасности. Есть даже мнение, что один из основополагающих педагогических принципов: «Родители, не оставляйте детей без присмотра», тоже возник в результате анализа моих экспериментальных подходов. Сегодня все знают - Аза неопровержимо доказала, что в деревянном доме теория негорения рукописей не выполняется.
После обсуждения реультатов эксперимента с отцом, я долго не садилась за письменный стол. И лабораторный тоже. Вообще недели две не садилась. Мне было неинтересно встречать односельчан, временно расселенных по окрестным гостиницам. В один из дней я наконец села. Одни говорили, что я села в автобус, другие, что на крыло пролетающего самолёта. А я просто уехала странствовать чтобы познать тайны мироздания. И вот я вернулась - a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.
