Hello, I’m Maryna Babich (writing as M.J. Daniels). In 1994, I earned a diploma in German–English Linguistics from Kharkiv’s Pedagogical University. In 2018 I founded my own marketing agency (AimPlanAct.com) . I was forced to flee with my seven-year-old son, my mother, and our dog in early 2022 due to the war. We settled in Spain.

My background in film directing (mentored by Mark W. Travis) taught me how to create vivid worlds and honest emotional arcs. Working in tech-industry marketing sharpened my storytelling and enriched my library of characters.
