Oleg Veretskiy
Author, Soldier, Volunteer
I hope you enjoy this first book, and I thank you from the depths of my heart for your support of my writing and my country. The second and third parts of the Tales lie ahead!
Charlotte Pierce
Publisher, Pierce Press
It’s rare to find an author or human being like Oleg Veretskiy. We are honored to publish his fantasy trilogy in English translation, as well as his “War Through My Eyes” essays.
Marina Palenyy Bailey
Translator, Teacher
I knew that Oleg had built a meaningful world because his story left me, a full-blown adult, needing to hear the ending. It’s been amazing to unlock this book for English readers.
Laura Williams
Web & Graphic Design
It’s been fascinating to work on the graphics and to build Oleg’s website. I feel like I have a backstage pass to the book production process and to Ukraine’s struggle.
Megan McKenna
Editor
This project is right up my alley. I am a prose, script and poetry writer with a recent Pratt institute degree in writing & film. I love reading horror, magical realism, and memoir. I’m working on my own novel as well.
Kelly D. Shifflett
Team Angel, Psychologist
I care so much about this story, about the crew that is dedicated from the heart to see it through, about the author, and his beloved country at war…how can I not?”
Tatyana Kagitina
Interpreter
Tanya has been a tireless volunteer for our editorial meetings with Oleg, in addition to creating quality uniforms for the Ukrainian military and running an Odesa-based textile business with her sister, Antonina.
