The author of a psychological thriller 'My Trickster' and the editor of Avantoure infotainment blog, Serafima Bogomolova lives and works in Dubai, UAE.
Born and raised in St Petersburg, Russia, Serafima received a degree in English and American Literature in the private Institute of Foreign Languages. Her studies had a big influence on her literary preferences with her two favourite authors being Anton Chekhov, one of the greatest writers of short stories in history, and John Fowles, a master of mystification in post modern English literature.
Serafima's love for travel and exploration brought her to many cities and countries including London, New York, Moscow, and Dubai. In Moscow, she had an opportunity to run a cigar magazine, Hecho a Mano, the first glossy publication on tobacco in Russia.
In 2006 her publishing experience led Serafima to launch her own rich media publication, Avantoure. This innovative, ahead of time project had made a stir in the digital publishing world and was produced in its avant-garde format until late 2009.
Her debut into literary world started in October 2010 in New York, where Serafima met a man whose dream prompted her to begin writing her first novel 'My Trickster'. The book was finished and self-published in the beginning of 2012.
