My name is Igor Shnayder. From a young age, I was captivated by fairy tales. As I grew older, this passion blossomed into a love for fantasy, science fiction, and classic historical literature, inspiring me to dream of creating my own fantastical worlds and characters.

I hold a degree in maritime engineering and spent 15 years working as a marine engineer on merchant ships. Alongside my maritime career, I've nurtured my love for photography, devoting over 14 years to capturing breathtaking landscapes and transforming those moments into photobooks.

As an author, I write children's books that embody the values I strive to teach my own children - kindness, love, courage, wisdom, friendship, and compassion. My first published story, about the adventures of a brave kitten-knight named Mur, reflects these ideals and invites readers to explore a magical world filled with imagination and heartwarming lessons.

Whether crafting captivating tales or creating stunning photobooks, my goal remains the same: to inspire and bring joy to others. I hope my work resonates with you and becomes a cherished part of your own adventures!
