I’m sorry it’s been a while. We haven’t spoken for ten years. But let’s focus on the bright side. I have so much to share with you.

Completing the first book is often a thorny path. You don’t simply sit down and type away on your computer until your first masterpiece... Continue Reading →
Rundāle Palace is a magnificent baroque palace, originally the residence of the Dukes of Courland. Its name comes from the German Ruhenthal, which translates as Valley of Peace. Alas, the beautiful edifice’s history was anything but peaceful. It started with a manor that had stood where Rundāle Palace now stands. The mention of that manor... Continue Reading →
After Latvia became a member of the European Union, people started leaving the country. In 2008, it seemed that in each family there was someone who left chasing a big money dream.
