My name is Dóra, I'm from Hungary. I'm 32. I write books. Been a bookworm since I was 8 and been writing since I was 13.
Got into My Chemical Romance at the age of 15. Gerard and the gang kindly showed me that "art is the weapon, your imagination is the ammunition" and I'd like to think that I haven't strayed from that path since then.
Fed my braincells with Tolkien and Gaiman throughout my teenage years.
My first novel was published in Hungary when I was 19.
Got a degree in American studies. Wrote my thesis on stereotypical portrayal of witch characters in contemporary American literature, focusing on GRR Martin's Melisandre. I'm so obsessed with the topic of witch-hunts and the collective feminine trauma that stems from it that I kinda wrote a fantasy trilogy about it.
I've also written books about Hungarian neopagan vikings. Honored to have been chosen as the best Hungarian young adult author in 2019. I'm fascinated by outcasts and weird teens. Yes, I'm the writer who tells the story of the unhinged fun ones.
Yes, I'm obviously obsessed with David Tennant, why is that even a question?
Yes, I wish I'd started using this fantastic hellsite years ago. But I'm here now anyway - thanks to Neil Gaiman.
If you want to say hi or if you have questions about storytelling, books, or the situation in Hungary, I'm right here. Love y'all.
