My Books
Journey into worlds built on imagination, mystery, and profound insights. Avalina Kreska's Shetland novels promise captivating narratives and her poetry is multilayered, philosophical and often tongue-in-cheek. Check out her guitar teaching series too... Looks like lot of fun!
Art gallery
Visually stunning and thought-provoking, her 'spiritual' art complements her novels, offering a new dimension to her creative spirit. Like all artistry, truth is often embedded within. Her other galleries contains a smattering of pure silliness, abstract nonsense and strangeness.
The Soap Crank
Delve into thought provoking poetry with The Soap Crank and Other Selected Poems but beware, Avalina has a way of putting raw truth forward when you least expect it. Not only does she produce downright daft and darkly obscure poetry, she tackles serious subjects such as conservation, nature and death.
Articles & essays
Engage with articles and essays published at Medium.com that explore intriguing topics, offering unique perspectives and profound personal insights. Much of her writing covers real life experiences including ghost stories and strange goings-on. There is an underlying tone of dry humour in many of her posts, such as the time she believed her husband had murdered his parents! (Seriously, that story alone is really worth a read!)

"I've never read anything like this book before... I spent two days reading The AdderStane. I gave it my complete concentration... I'm glad I did..."
Glen Buglass, Artistic Director, Regional Voice Theatre
"Nice bit of work, this, a slightly barmy blend of the evocative, sharply observed, cheeky, and obscure. There’s a lot of discipline on show with the set forms - far more than I’m capable of - and a bright thread of metaphysics running through the whole affair. Quite enjoyed the images, too, although the poems are more than strong enough to stand on their own two (sometimes three) feet."
Jan Miklaszewicz's review of The Soap Crank and Other Selected Poems.
"This infectiously involving and readable backstory to The AdderStane is a superbly crafted and modulated work of sustained mystery and suspense. Above all, it is entertaining, which is the highest compliment that can be paid an author..."
