Hello
My name is Anka B Troitsky
I came to the UK from Kazakhstan in 1993. Before becoming a writer, I worked as a science teacher and interpreter in Essex.
Books have always played a huge part in my life. I sometimes think that some of my favourite authors have been my best friends and teachers, even though I have never met them.
I write science fiction and satirical fantasy because these genres allow you to dream and reason, fantasise and philosophise. They let us look at our world from a strange angle and perhaps notice things that are too familiar to see clearly.
I tell stories about the things that fascinate and concern me, for readers who care about those things too. My books may take you into the past, the future, or entirely imaginary worlds. Still, ultimately they are about the present, about us, and about the choices and decisions we make.
Welcome to my world.

If you'd like a small starter before the main meal, try the prequel: Act & Vist
Gamelit. Romantasy / LitRPG elements
Some fantasy campaigns never make it to the table, the map, the console, or even the game itself.
They disobey me. They break free after a few chapters and begin lives of their own.
This is one of those stories.
If you are looking for a game to play, you may need another book.
But if you wish to visit my Zemeland, walk its roads, meet its heroes, listen to the songs of everybody’s favourite Digram Oldbook and breathe... no, step away from Fluffy first. Down, boy!... and breathe the air of adventures you missed, then come with me.
The story is about to begin.
I have never been very good at straight lines myself. I prefer going deep. Deeper than magic. Deeper than any sword can cut.

When Platinum Rusts (series)
Before Vist, there was Eternum.
As civilisation collapses and humanity struggles to survive its own mistakes, two scientists face impossible choices about what it means to preserve the human race. Selest Dvali and Vatslav Maiser could have had very different lives. Their stories uncover forgotten projects, buried guilt and desperate experiments, including the ancient colonisation attempts of the Platinum Age, that will shape generations to come and lay the foundations for the Who is Vist saga.
And eventually, one question remains:
Who is Vist?

"Anka Troitsky is an excellent translator and prose writer, with a real gift for telling the truth and doing it so that readers laugh or cry all the time and sometimes feel painfully ashamed of themselves."
Dmitry Lvovich Bykov
a writer, poet, literary critic and journalist
"Object & Vist is one of the best Sci-Fi books published in a long time, and set to become a classic"
Kevin E Green
Voiceover and narrator artist
"Anka's writing is packed with imagination, and the story themes are important for understanding the struggles humanity faces today. The topics range from the dangers of dogmatic religious faith to how nefarious public figureheads emerge – and how everyday people are complicit in mass tragedies. This is science fiction as social and cultural critique at its best!"
Andrew Hodges
