Hello! It’s been a while, hasn’t it, my lovelies? Life has been truly hectic, but fun; but if you stuck by, and are still here, here’s what’s happening in kkolmakovland 😀 Hammer Up! is out! I know, right? Shocking! Somehow amidst the new job; and the online childcare courses I’m taking; and the Comic-Con I…
So, here we are. Yours truly, widely known in immensely narrow circles as kkolmakov, and you, my beloved readers. I have to say, I have rewritten this post about a dozen times by now… And yet I find it difficult to put what I need to say into the right words. I feel as if…

But seriously, chocolate affects me like booze does normal people, while booze just knocks me out 😀 And there was this box of Lindt elves; and they were glossy and…
Hello! I decided that it would be nice of me to post my update schedule, since I was asked several times, and generally, I feel people are already twitching nervously since I’m jumping from platform to platform, updating in a seemingly frantic fashion 🙂 Firstly, yes, I am. There’s a lot going on, and it…
Hello! Firstly, some news. For some personal and health reasons (mainly the lovely inherited arthritis I have nibbling at my fingers), I resigned from my job in the bakery, and am considering going back to teaching in September.  Which means? Plenty of time for writing and drawing all through the Summer! (And growing veggies and flowers,…
I have come to the realisation that publishing a book is like getting a tattoo. First you don’t know what to expect, but it looks like an ace idea. You plan and plan, and then you make a decisive leap, and go for it! And that is when expenses start. And panic. There is a…
