About me

Artist name: J.D
Jana Denole is a Ukrainian-Russian writer living in Switzerland.
She grew up in Donbass, in today's Ukraine, as a child of the wild 90s together with her sister Elena. This at the time of the upheaval in the former Soviet Union.

Her father comes from the Voronezh region (today’s Russia), more precisely village Bolshoi Alabuhi. He served in the Russian Navy. By profession architect, he graduated from Voronezh College of Building Technologies, then architecture-building university. He was murdered in 1992 by an unknown criminal gang.

Her mother was born in the Ukrainian part of the Soviet Union. She is a trained philologist, graduated from the Lugansk Philological Institute and worked as a teacher. After the death of her husband, she sold, as many teachers at the time, sausages on the market to feed the two children. Yana and her elder sister Elena helped her a lot.

In elementary school, she was a rather bad student, shuffling from class to class. But at puberty, they led the charge of responsibility for their family and pushed her to a normal school graduation decision. She still considers the acquired school knowledge for her life almost useless and unsuitable.

After graduating from Kiev National University, she married, gave birth and moved to Switzerland with her husband. As a first professional challenge, she took on a job organizing the management and supervision of treatments of Russian-speaking patients in foreign hospitals.

By the end of 2016, she was accidentally innocently accused and sent to a jail in Germany, from where she was transferred to Switzerland. After a conversation with the prosecutor, still in panic and fear for her future, in a prison barrack in the middle of Zurich, she wrote in a week with a pen and a pencil on A4 sheets her first Crime  novel: „ THE CON GIRLS“
