Author Background & Story in Tarragona

Olga Lash writes stories rooted in character, where ordinary choices carry extraordinary weight. Her debut fantasy series, The Journey to the Left Side, unfolds in a world where geography shapes destiny, allegiances fracture, and fragile bonds hold the power to change everything. With an engaging style that is clear, immersive, and emotionally resonant, her work invites readers into narratives of transformation and depth.

Her perspective has been shaped by the vibrant cities she has called home. Born in Moscow, she moved abroad at seventeen to study in London — a leap that defined her independence and voice. She spent five years in the UK, a place that remains her greatest source of inspiration, from its misty landscapes and weather to its rich literary tradition. Later, her life expanded into the creative streets of Barcelona, enriching her voice with new contrasts and vibrance.

Olga holds a degree in business marketing, but her true strength comes from life itself — from the people she’s met, the challenges she’s faced, and the journey of mental health that taught her resilience. These experiences shaped not only her voice as a writer but also her belief in authenticity, honesty, and the power of continuing onward. Her comma tattoo reflects this philosophy: for her, it signifies not only continuation, but also the legacy she hopes to leave through her stories.
